Back to AtD: WTF? with Yashmeen's f**king?

[Mark Kohut]

"more Jongian than Jungian"....
 
More on Yashmeen. So smart and what we have come to call liberated, yes? Mind and body integrated?
Unlike Ruperta Chirpington-Groin, she doesn't just fuck anyone...Her lovers stick....She can fuck one while
still pining for her real love. Not everyone, perhaps women especially?, can. 
 
Men fall for her like for Who?....Monroe?....(TRP was supposedly sad when Marilyn died. Some kind of Beauty Ideal? Celebrity Venus?)
Yashmeen is some kind of ideal woman in AtD, yes?.............

I think it's more Jongian than Jungian,
and intentionally so. It's the classic
"Zipless Fuck" he's winking at.

For the Jungians and the feminists (of either sex) on the list...
 
p. 817...'Of course, it was just in that instant that she met up with Vlado Clissan"...
And Yashmeen is taken--willingly, ever so and importantly---as in a Romance
porn novel......
 
and TRP gives us a little trope joke here..when he has Yashmeen talk about her clitoris
being addressed "in an unfamilar way, not rudely, actually quite considerately, perhaps
it was the angle...but how could she be thinking of geometry"....."but if she didn't keep
some atttachment to that, where would they be taken? Out to sea"...
 
A little Jungian (even Freudian?) trope? The "oceanic feeling" ?....
Better'n sex&death tropes in some way, yes?
