The following quote is taken from Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 18, Finally. Copyright (c) 2007 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

�Percy�s own cold hand slid down between them, grasped him. Cold as the touch was, it seemed to burn. He felt the seam of his breeches give as Percy shoved them roughly down and wondered dimly what he would tell Tom. Then Percy�s prick rubbed hard against his own, stiff, hot, and he stopped thinking.�

WOW, Wednesday already? I DO wonder what John finally ended up telling Tom. (NT) -- Jane, 20:06:39 11/13/07 Tue
- yes me too, and i wonder how much tom knows (NT) -- oorjanie, 20:53:57 11/13/07 Tue
Oof, Janie! And I do think Tom is wiser than we think. (NT) -- teddie, 05:08:01 11/14/07 Wed
LOL I was not thinking about Tom in this scene. I remember this scene, however, vividly, because the language struck me. I wondered what kind of research Diana did into the sex lives of gay men- is this how they think, react, etc. John's repeated use of the word prick stuck out to me. As a woman, I don't generally refer to my husbands....erm..you know...as a prick. Is this a product of the times, their relationship, a bit of both? (NT) -- Oleander, 05:29:24 11/14/07 Wed
- "Then Percy�s erm....you...know... rubbed hard against his own, stiff, hot, and he stopped thinking.� Yeah, that works for me. :) (NT) -- sharon fisher, 05:56:03 11/14/07 Wed
  - Oh, it worked allright ;) It just struck me. DG is so good at writing love scenes, her language amazes me (NT) -- Oleander, 06:22:31 11/14/07 Wed
- There's the word used out loud and then there are the private thoughts. Maybe it's so scatalogical and unthinkably rude to say aloud that it provides added excitement privately? (NT) -- kgp, 10:35:47 11/14/07 Wed
  - I love the way you put this. So well said. (NT) -- Oleander, 06:06:33 11/15/07 Thu
