ABOUT
THE BOOK

tells the story of a father and daughter. It also tells the story of a ménage
à trois.
Politics
explores crucial domestic problems of sexual etiquette. What should the
sleeping arrangements be in a ménage à trois? Is it polite
to read while two people have sex beside you? Is it permissible to be
jealous? If you have eczema, should you complain that undinism can be
painful? |
