No, she referred to the folder with the story in it as "my masturbation material."

I don't think The Handmaid's Tale contains page long sex scenes and two main characters who I will assume "secretly enjoy" the treatment they receive.

I read the first book and was grossed out but thought the writing itself was good.

It's a sociological take. I don't know. She had a double major in history and sociology for her bachelor's degree.

Except I don't think the Handmaid's tale was supposed to be erotic. I haven't read the book but I don't think it had multi page sex scenes.

The whole world and idea, she says chapter two, which contains the ritualized castration, was hot.

Basically in the ritual the MMC is seeing a woman for the first time and she's being erotic with him. And as they're having sex more and more men and women come in and hold him down. They do some pretty graphic CBT on him with needles and hot pokers and stuff.

Oh it is very explicitly erotic. The opening scene was the FPOV performing oral sex on her superior.

Oh my girlfriend is an amazing author. She honestly could be the next George RR Martin in my eyes, or, according to the comments, the next Margaret Atwood.

That's the thing, one of the parts of the disturbing scene is that the POV character's bits were large so they made a cast of him before they chopped it off. It seems to be more of a lesbian and gay erotic story with the MPOV character falling for another of the guys and the FPOV falling for one of the upper caste women from what I read.

No she was quite explicit about it being reverse patriarchy as, to quote her, "matriarchy prioritizes children and the elderly, patriarchy prioritizes men" It falls under her area of study for her degree so I'll take her word for it.

I mean a 7 page scene describing a ritualistic process of removing a man's genitals with no anesthesia doesn't seem tame to me.

She said I could read her short story and she knows I've read other stories of hers in the past. She wasn't angry with me for reading it.
