[Bernard Marx]

I can't say for certain I wouldn't sleep with him. He's got a good, muscular body, and while he's nobody's idea of handsome, that could be forgiven if he had a nice personality or I was starving and he offered to throw some rhino steaks on the fire for me.

This comment, which I think is naive, assumes the writer would have a choice about having sex with him. While I'm not aware of any real evidence either way, I'm intuitively convinced that in those days (as the saying used to go): "Seduction is for sissies; a he-man likes his rape." I think there was a good deal of truth to the old Alley Oop cliche of dragging women around by the hair.

I'm not arguing it was a proper way to behave and maybe I'm wrong about it. But the male sex drive is very powerful, as is the evolutionary imperative for males to spread their seed as widely as possible. If that big guy decided he wanted to cuddle I doubt the writer would have much say in the matter.

"This comment, which I think is naive"

Yes, but what strikes me is that a woman would write so openly about whom she would fornicate with. "Oh, yes, I'm a slut, so I might behave immorally with him."

"Seduction is for sissies..."

Really? I bet early man spent several months wages trying to land a hot one...

...or am I supposed to believe these girls just dug rocks like these up?
