Erotic fiction, I dunno.... But some people--people who may not be
*entirely* clear on the concept of Surrealism--may have been using it as
a species of Mondo Bizarro Joy of Sex. Behold the following, from
alt.folklore.urban last year sometime, via DejaNews. There may have been
a scathing but amusing followup, IIRC, on the Uses of Symbolism in
Postmodern Fiction, written by someone whose teeth I have brushed a time
or two.

her orifice.  Plausible?: Wouldn't a snake have a better chance of
surviving the encounter than: a gerbil?

[snork, snork, slobber, drool!]My perusal throught the various FAQs of
alt.sex.bestiality looking forgerbilling references enlightened me to
the prodcedures of reptile sex.Although snakes weren't mentioned, as far
as I know, the tails of manyother creatures were. Plausible, perhaps,
but I don't think that snakes arevery attracted to milk.
