Quote #1

Many girls want to be carnal with me in many good arrangements. (1.2)

Big talkers aren't always big doers. Alex may talk up sex as a sign of masculinity, but we later find out he's a nearly-30-year-old virgin.

Quote #2

[Sofiowka] would sit naked in the fountain of the prostrate mermaid, caressing her scaly tuches, […] caressing his own better half as if there were nothing in the world wrong with beating one's boner, wherever, whenever. (3.6)

Do you think anyone tried to stop Sofiowka from being a public masturbator? We have to wonder why they just let him run wild.

Quote #3

SOFIOWKA ACCUSED OF RAPE, PLEADS POSSESSED BY PENIS PERUSATION, BECAME "OUT OF HAND" (7.3)
