He exhausts himself so thoroughly that his body starts to fall apart. His blood courses with testosterone and stress hormones. His fur falls off. He bleeds internally. His immune system fails to fight off incoming infections, and he becomes riddled with gangrene. I guess this is another one of those articles that defends the homosexual lifestyle as "natural" (if unhealthy).

He mates with as many females as he can, in violent, frenetic encounters that can each last up to 14 hours. He does little else. ... He exhausts himself so thoroughly that his body starts to fall apart. His blood courses with testosterone and stress hormones. His fur falls off. He bleeds internally. His immune system fails to fight off incoming infections, and he becomes riddled with gangrene.I got better.

That’s pretty awesome. I just finished reading the book for the first time.
Victirian horror - a little bit slow, but great concept.
