Possum reads Ada Palmer


From Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer
[Thisbe asks about sister Heloise being a nun who lives in a house which is also in part a brothel ]
"Sister Heloise: 'On the contrary, what could be more appropriate ? Celibacy is the most extreme of sexual perversions, after all. '
That one floored even Thisbe. 'What ? '
Sister Heloise: 'Sexual desire is the purest and most natural of animal drives. To suppress it in favor of intellectual and theological satisfaction is a perversion of nature in the most extreme sense. Why, even to fornicate alone , or with many people at once, or with a machine, or an ass or hound, is closer to natures intent than abstinence. Do you not agree ? '
A long pause.
Carlyle: Diderot.
Thisbe: What ?
Carlyle: You're quoting Diderot, that bit about celibacy as the most unnatural thing. "
