Sexuality, Perversion, Beauty - An Exploration
Exploration on /Challenging whats considered: natural, normal, beautiful, perverse, disgusting, sexual, taboo More ideally (but not limited to) authors relating the topics to themselves/their experiences Hoping to include plenty of intersectionalities (disability, race, etc)/

lmaooo some other emoji suggestions : šŖ¢ (rope/knots) , šÆāāļø (bunny girls), š³ (blushing perv!), š¶āš«ļø (steamy!), š«¦ (biting lip!!), š« (a visceral heart feels like when ur showing ur perv side to ur partner), š (ooh!), š (maybe??)
love this list!! feels akin to the taboo topics but make it gayer
Love the rope one!
HAH you know its gonna be gayer. TABOO! thats one of the words I was looking for.
Yes, the kiss or biting lip is good. Embarrassment is a good one too ("blushing perv" HaH!). 18+ for sure. EYES! HOW COULD I FORGET EYES! Thanks so much!!! This might help.
HUNCHBACK!!
I will recommend that book to almost everyone I met out in the wild!! I need the people I see every week at the grocery store to analyze the ending with me while we look at the best case of strawberries!!

Got any others you recommend for those who liked hunchback? It's particular, thats for sure! I still have to around to my "review" aka where I talk too much about it & the themes & radical aspects & dig up some past research & resources etc. Maybe I'll do that when my semester is over in a sec. That would be an exciting exploration.
I do need to read more books like Hunchback, cause nothing from my finished shelf comes to mind that isn't already on your list. But I did some investigating, and I think some of these might fit, but please double-check if they fit with your list vision: The Breast by Philip Roth - seems like it would pair well with Walking Practice Unbecoming by Jenny Downham Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo Transmuted by Eve Harms Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang
yes! omg I shall be awaiting your review! Maybe I'll reread it and write a proper review. I think my star rating just transformed over from goodreads (I didn't write a lot of reviews on gr)

best case of straewberries?
I love what you've done with the emojis
Does Exquisite Corpse fit here? It's pretty disgusting and taboo
Myth.InkOP
Added it to the radar list - Iāll look into it Thanks! At a glance it might cross the boundary of what Iām trying to put together here. Maybe I should specify. But at the same timeā¦hmm.
Yeah I was uncertain if it fit bc there's some genuinely depraved things there

Similarly, I have a few like that on the radar I wasnāt planning to actually add even though they are part of the conversation in a different way but thanks regardless for suggesting.
Hm, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick SĆ¼skind comes to mind. To me, it certainly questions what is "normal" through the MMC's, Grenouille's, hunt for the perfect aroma. What he does to achieve it is not normal nor legal lol, but in his mind it's just a means to achieve an end. Very wacky book.
Perfume is on my radar, yes. Although there are some lines Iām considering more closely. Thanks regardless! š
I love this list! Thanks for creating it!
