IV back to those graphic porno ties

[Mark Kohut]

I think the host's obs were right on but what I also want to emphasize
is that the women had to go to the guy who custom-made them. What's up with that within the book's/Pynchon's themes?  More thots?

I'll throw out one. Our genitals are called our private parts. Add this to
Teflon in V. trying to photograph Benny's bedscene. A very private moment
between two people usually, and perhaps, most humanly. ( More than two, photos, etc. and we are in some kind of psychological fetish land, yes?)  

Add only a spoonful of what we know about TRP and his belief in his privacy--and everyone's?
