flesh is weak

Flesh is Weak, Florence Stonebraker, 1951

...she had often wondered why so many flesh peddlers had the names of flowers or jewels.

...twisting the kiss on her mouth as if he were twisting a cork into a bottle.



It is very chastening to the spirit, young man, to be married to a woman, who holds the purse strings.

...he could feel her tremble under his touch in her sick need to be taken.

Sue giggled ... it had never occurred to her that tarts had grandmothers.

She had read in a magazine ad that the well-groomed man preferred nylon in his shirts because its elegant feel against his skin heightened his self-confidence, brought the happy gratified glow of pride in himself to his eyes.

After a minute she found herself shivering. The heat had been turned off, which meant it was eleven o'clock.

But being kind and considerate had little to do with whether a girl enjoyed a man for a lover. She either wanted him that way. Or she didn't.
