blogofstench 's recent post about what makes for a good sex scene, I find this article on the Daily Snopes: Bad Sex in Fiction Awards.
Eight authors, including Booker Prize nominee David Mitchell, best seller Mark Haddon and literary maverick Thomas Pynchon, were competing Wednesday for one of the world's least-coveted literary prizes - the Bad Sex in Fiction Award.
Now in its 14th year, the award was established by Literary Review magazine to celebrate truly cringe-worthy erotic writing.
They have an award for everything, don't they?
