They have an earthy sexuality that really works for me and their culture is very accepting and respecting of sex workers. Not that I've sampled every Aussie out there. :) As far as relationships go, most women say Aussies are jerks and based on my VERY limited experience in that realm -- I'd say those women are right. XX Daddy,

The goddess worship in there is anything but corny. I wish it were a real religion so I could join. Plus, the books are just fun reading!

The best authors tap into archetypes that we all share, on a conscious level or not. This is where their universal appeal comes from, and how they can talk meaningfully about subjects they have never experienced themselves. The "goddess" mythology you hinted at does sound a bit corny to me, but I do enjoy an approach to sex that goes beyond the purely physical. I'm grateful to all the wonderful providers I met who were willing to explore and give, instead of act. Pretending can be soul-crushing. “Courtesan-ship is not the intimacy of bodies, as so many believe, but the intimacy of spirit.”
