I’ve been reading Germaine Greer.
“Women who understand their sexual experience in the way that Jackie Collins writes of it are irretrievably lost to themselves and their lovers:
He took her to the bedroom and undressed her slowly, he made love to her beautifully. Nothing frantic, nothing rushed (…) She floated on a suspended plane, a complete captive to his hands and body. He had amazing control, stopping at just the right moment. When it did happen it was only because he wanted it to, and they came in complete unison. She had never experienced that before, and she clung to him, words tumbling out of her mouth about how much she loved him. Afterwards they lay and smoked and talked. ‘You’re wonderful,’ he said, ‘You’re a clever woman making me wait until after we were married!’”
The Female Eunuch (1970), p. 58 (2008 edition). Jackie Collins citation from The World is Full of Married Men (1969).
