Unfortunately, I already have.

Seems that bizarre sexual content can strike at the brain stem a way 
that nothing else can.  Pynchon uses this technique throughout (to a 
much better end) GR -- eating poop, etc.

After my first reading of GR, these images staked claim to parts of 
my brain.  Is this cheap shock-value, or do we all, deep down, truly 
have a bizarre sexual desires?
