Have you not seen my polls before? There have been several, all at least somewhat naughty.

I approve of this.

Slightly more so in real life. Here, with my imaginary friends who live inside my computer, I don't have to be.

BTW, I couldn't read that ficlet as the comm is member-locked.

Sadly, the only comm that isn't member-locked is the one I decided I couldn't put up with. You can read the story in the comment stream here, or, if you plan to keep reading whatever Austen fic I write, you could just join the comm.

Austen isn't that explicit, but yes, they know about sex, or at least the consequences. A number of her works have young women who are seduced without the benefit of marriage or illegitimate children or people having affairs in them; in fact, most of her villains are male sexual predators of one sort or another. Pretty consistently, the women suffer horribly while the men get away with it scott free. Her rather vicious condemnation of the men involved makes it more feminist social commentary than moralizing - her point isn't that women should not indulge, but how unfair it is that men destroy women's lives and bear no consequences. The mechanics of sex aren't described or even hinted at, but sexual misbehavior is a strong theme in her work ( ... )
