"Stupid of me to think that just because her empathy extended to monsters like Kong, it would reach all the way to monsters like me."-Sam J. Miller, Boys, Beasts & Men
"We walk. Two bodies, two wild separate beings. Sex tingles all through me: the hunger for it, for the joy that is more than just the pleasure of it, or the pride of being desired Of connecting to someone on a profound and pre-human level. Of shredding the skin of your own unutterable separateness. And still: the fear. A face like that - he'd spent his whole life knowing he could get whatever he wanted. Someone so beautiful - his hungers could easily become extreme. He could murder me. Drug me, chain me up in a basement, torture me for ages. Or drunk jock bros could burst out of nowhere to bash us. Cops could bust our heads. But this, too - this fear, this risk - is part of the joy."-Sam J. Miller, Boys, Beasts & Men
