Oh, I agree! It creeps me out - they're either really earnest and trying to act like they're in a porno, or tentative and practically apologetic. Give me the dumb in-jokes and comfortable fun any day. The most appallingly bad sex I've ever had was with the guy I knew the least well. It was excruciatingly awkward - half way through and I was seriously considering excuses for stopping.

I love funny romance-gone-wrong stories! Hence the subject matter of this novel thingy idea.

I wants me a nerd boyfriend! Where can I get me one of those? They're all in hiding.

I can't take credit for the icon, I snurched it from aryas_zehral. I love it, too!
