The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (L'etrange couleur des larmes de ton corps)

My Half Hooptober Impotent men and their naive fear-fantasy of feminine desire. The only pleasure he can imagine for her is in his own emasculation, because surely she must be conspiring in his defeat, that’s the only explanation he can imagine for his absolute…
