D.H. Lawrence’s Many Ways of Saying ‘Sex’
by Liz Colville
Taken from the first chapter, just the first freaking chapter, of Lady Chatterly’s Lover, and compiled, in order, by the New York bookstore McNally Jackson on its tumblr:
love affairs
love-connection
the thing
it
Why couldn’t a girl be queenly, and give the gift of herself?
the love-making and connection
this sex business
sexual love
the sex thing
A woman could take a man
this sex thing
the sexual intercourse
AND SO FORTH. [Via]
