houellebecq is depicting the way humans abuse each other. sex is a means of love but more often an arena of self-gratification, in which people are apathetic about using others callously. there are constant hints of capacity for love in his fiction, which give the characters some small consolation or edification, before collapsing

In Elementary Particles he unironically dreams of an Asexual race of romantic lesbians reproducing artificially

>asexual
no, he's in favor of sexual/sensual pleasure, he just wants to disassociate it from reproduction. I still remember being impressed when Michel brings back talk about the little papules beneath the glans of the penis that Bruno had told him about after learning about them from his gf.

Don't be afraid to catch feelings bro. Without love you're like a man running frantically around in the spiritual desert of modern society searching for water. Without the oasis of interior sentiment all the fucking in the world is just mechanical actions devoid of any sensuality, my dude. You just gotta trust these hoes, because to live without faith is too much for any man to handle. Sometimes after having sex with these thots I cry, because no matter how hard I smash that puss she doesn't know my name and I don't know hers. Some day I'll be decrepit and impotent and all of this will have amounted to nothing. Some day we will all die.

He has a terrible strategy. Instead of being pro-active to remove the west or France's demise, his solution is to get sucked into a nihilistic void and to partake in a religion of excessive vices. Fuck this guy.

In 1999 I bought a container of 80's memorabilia in preparation for the internet's sell out. It's going smoothly now. Few more tweaks to go before we've got it figured out again and under control. The conversation is mostly still in subsets, which makes my life easy. The hard part is know how long to sit on the merch so that you get top quality prices. I don't want to sell out too soon before we get slick and religious. But I need to dump this merch before I get a few containers of grunge apparel. Long live broadcast television!
