Why so much sex?

[~Ally~]

Honestly, I don't remember a whole lot of sex in Desperation, but it's been a while... maybe I'm due for a re-read.

Or ya could just buy a copy of Playboy. Obviously I mean purely for the literature aspect. Duh.

*Spoiler alert* (sorry, I'm new here, so I don't know how to hide the spoilers on here)

1. Entragian told Marinville that he had to suck his you-know-what if he wanted to go free. 2. Steve and Cynthia are filled with powerful sexual urges when they look at the stone wolf thing. 3. A few miners start having sex in the mine after they get taken over by Tak. 4. One of the dead people in the Municipal Building started masturbating as soon as he got infected.

Just the examples off the top of my head.

Wow, totally didn't remember anything but the two characters who found the rocks and wanted to start going at each other. When I read the title of this post I was like "desperation didn't have a lot of sex in it, what is this about?" But I guess if you include those other things then yes, sexuality as a theme is present throughout desperation and regulators, its companion novel. Because Tak is a violent sexual demon.

Tak is probably a guy-so yes.....

Hey now, don't discount a woman's sexual appetite I bet Tak is a bit o' both like the demon Roland and Suzannah wrestled with in DT

...understood Connie, and no dis-respect intended...it's just that, it's the first and usually only thing on a guys mind...women have a little more depth, uhh-so to speak....

Ohhhh Tak, you crazy demon, you. I have my own theories about the origins of Tak and The Regulators or Desperation is usually one of my first choices to lend a budding King fan (If he's a male) (Or The Long Walk)
I usually recommend Insomnia, IT, or Salem's Lot to females.
I'm totally not sexist, but I think the first book you read from a new author is the most important.

None taken Usually, I'm deeper than bones but today, I'm feeling a bit shallow

I heard a stand-up comedian (male - can't remember his name) say that comparing male ... urges... to female ones is like the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing one.
