Weird sex things in books your parents weren't suspicious of because books must be like finding porn in the woods. Mine was the kids having sex in the sewers to ward off the monster in Stephen King's It. I am sure if I were to read it again that scene would make much more sense than the "and then the children spontaneously decided that getting it on would save them from the monster, and indeed it worked" I remember, but I don't think I want it to.Which is how, in second grade, too young to watch Blade Runner, I found myself reading an orgy scene involving a wicked sorceress riding a rhinoceros for its dildonic powers.
