Slog - Comments on Madam Sex http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/this_book_is_presently_displayed This book is presently displayed in the window of a small bookstore, Spine and Crown, on Pine Street. This is the author of the art book, Contemporary Art in France: Catherine Millet is also the author of a pornographic memoir called The Sexual Life of Catherine M., which was published in 2002 and reviewed in this paper by the Marxist philosopher Nic Veroli. Here is the opening paragraph of that review, "Sex Boredom, Death: Looking For the French Fuck": Between the moment you are ejected from your mother's womb, screaming and covered in blood, and the moment you die, groaning...

She meets a man, sucks/fucks him, has a few dull sensations, finishes, and moves on to the next encounter with no hope or desire that it improves upon the previous encounter, or other encounters in her near and distant past.

It's not a matter of Emily or me being uncomfortable, it's that we'll get in *trouble*, or more likely, the website will get banned.

But whatever, this is my last appeal to please use caution re. NSFW content. It makes *me* sound like the prude, instead of a serious SLOG lover who just WORKS AT A BANK. From now on I'll just read it at home.

It's not like there are gaping buttholes on display here or anything...there's an illustration and a picture of a marble statue.

Even at a bank, will you really get in trouble for that? What a drag.

All it takes is someone looking over your shoulder then calling HR. Sounds outrageous, but it's true.

Is the getting in trouble part due to the fact that you're looking at images of naked people on company time, or rather that you're goofing off by surfing the internet on company time?
