In a running joke in Lawrence Sterne’s bawdy eighteenth-century novel Tristram Shandy, the title character tries to figure out when he was conceived based on when his father was afflicted with “the sciatica” and thus unable to have sexual intercourse. (The reader realizes Tristram’s father must have been cuckolded.)
Even today, low back pain and sciatica [...]
The discussion in the internet chat room the night that Jerry and I met was “What is taboo?”
It was a room that discussed the racier topics and most of the people there that night had a kink that they considered on the edge. Jerry was very quiet, but something told me he wasn’t there just [...]

“I’ve some news!” Cried my neighbor in her English accent. I stared. Had she finally found a house?
She clasped her hands and stared at me in the ancient, wordless of language of women. [...]
