“Gay men may seek sex without emotion; lesbians often end up in emotion without sex.”
- Camille Paglia
I used this quotation to start off a paper I had to write for my Intro to LGBT Literature class. It kind of fitted with what I was writing about, but the real reason why I used it was it is so stereotypical. Everyone always hears about lesbian bed death … even straights. It’s crazy. The paper was about two poems, both written by lesbians, both very erotic. This quotation was just such a great contrast to those poems. It helped that one of my arguments was the poets go against the grain with their poems and, well, lesbians having hot lesbian sex is the complete opposite of lesbian bed death … don’t ya think?
