I wasn't sure how I felt while reading this. Parker was quite a kinky soul with no experience. He knew he wanted rough sex (spanking, degratification, slapping, etc) and for bit of the book he talks about it with his friend who sets him up to hookup with a guy she, herself doesn't know that well who is into rough sex too. Then when they setup a meeting to hookup, Parker learns who the guy is and they have some tame dirty sex talk.
