Metaphor in Context
Beyond the Tina update, however, little in the Married Lady's kvetching diverted me. Yet seared into my brain forever is one of her parting utterances: a cool assessment--delivered with ghoulish panache as she and my friend were about to leave--of the Professor in the sack.

I've been fucked by lots of guys, but no guy ever fucked me like SHE did.

Blunt to be sure, and perhaps a teeny bit on the coarse side? You might not want to get it printed on a T-shirt, let alone have it embroidered on a sofa pillow. But it was true nonetheless. One bore the Professorial stigmata, if only brainular, for years.
