In Fremen culture, cumming on the floor is a symbol of respect

I’m not some kind of pervert that would write that explicitly
He got very pervy in the second trilogy. Genuinely the horniest books I’ve ever read and they only get more horny as they progress.
Worth a read too. They remain good books despite phrases like “vaginal pulsing” and “beefswelling”.
Largely agree, except if those are the horniest books you’ve ever read you clearly haven’t gotten enough 80’s high fantasy in your diet
The Xanth novels come to mind for me. Piers Anthony was obsessed with panties
Larry Niven’s Ringworld series for me
You know a scifi series is horny when they have multiple terms that mean “fuckin an alien”
Or 70s post modern literature. Some of those books are easily the most perverse I’ve tried to read.
You’ve got to realise that the Dune books past Children of Dune came out at a time when books like Gravity’s Rainbow were being published. The standards for what was pervy in literature were really being pushed further than ever before by postmodernist authors. So when Frank Herbert is saying that he’s not a pervert that would write about certain things, it’s in the context of being compared to other popular works of the time.
I don’t think this is a real quote, I haven’t heard it before at any rate; but what you say is true regardless.
Yeah, read the books when I was younger and had no idea how horny the books got past Children/God Emperor of Dune, was a big surprise
I’m not some kind of pervert

:sigmund-freud:
I must not cum. Cum is the mind-killer. Cum is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cum. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the cum has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
It’s like those little desert rats that jerk off into their own mouths to conserve water
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
gotta say, I read the first four dune books and they weren’t nearly as horny as I expected given the talk around here.
I think it starts more in Heretics.

Especially considering the time period they were being published in. Some of the stuff that was published in the 70s and 80s is extremely obscene to the point I don’t want to finish reading the books, and I think I have a strong stomach for kind of stuff.
That’s disgusting, can you provide page references?
I mean obscene in actually disturbing to read, not sexy or anything like that.
You gave up right before the room of gems and horny dune books
yeah starting in book 5 they have sexual mind control and orgasmic amplification and all SORTS of weird shit
Aw shit, I better jump back in!
slightly different context when a fremen asks if they got their fallen comrades’ cum than when IOF does
Weird. He really went downhill mentally after the Ukrainians carbombed his daughter, huh?
“Only liberals really think. Only liberals are intellectual. Only liberals understand the needs of their fellows.” How much viciousness lay concealed in that word! Odrade thought. How much secret ego demanding to feel superior.” ― Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune
Was reading through heretics and had a laugh at this. As the books go on Herbert can’t help but inject more and more of his shitty opinions and related bruised ego. Here was a good little inner dialogue where someone used the word “liberal” and a character freaked out for a moment thinking they were called a liberal and its so absurdly just herbert injecting the political concept of liberal and conservatives from american politics, I can’t imagine people at any era reading this and not seeing it for exactly what it is lol
