That is an interesting point which hadn't occurred to me before, that the books are actually geared toward teenagers. And the idea that the girly-man descriptions are proof of that. Well. It's something I'll have to think about.

But by American publishing standards, I have to tell you that it is geared toward adults. Sex is only just starting to be kind of acceptable in books for older teens. Group sadomasochistic sex is not parent/society approved teen reading material.
