Caveman Porn

I went into Valley of the Horses by Auel with excitement after enjoying Clan of the Cave Bear so much, but, alas, I am not wading through 500+ pages when I am rolling my eyes on page 75. In Clan there were few sex scenes and they were nondescript and quick, these are just too much for me. They are silly. If I wanted porn, I would read porn. I know a few of my friends swear by these books, sorry, they just aren't my cup of tea.

The lines that did it: (keep in mind that this is page 3 of the same sex scene)

When he heard her gasping in quick pants, he raised up, still kneeling so he could control his penetration, and guided the head of his engorged organ into her untried opening. He gritted his teeth for control as he pushed into the warm, damp, tight well.

There is absolutely a place in the world for a dirty story, but this project is not that place.
