Women really do tell on themselves by what they write and what they praise, and nowhere is that better exemplified than with Marian Engel's novel "Bear".
A foid goes out to some remote island fishing town to look at an estate to see if it has any historical value. On the estate is a black bear that the main character is tasked with taking care of during her stay. Due to loneliness, being Canadian, and being a woman, the foid eventually falls romantically in love with the animal and tries to get it to fuck her on multiple occasions. The most it does is lick her vadge and boobs, except at the end where it claws her backside, prompting her to fall out of love with it. She leaves the island and deems the estate historically insignificant.
Margaret "The Handmaid's Tale" Atwood called it, "a strange and wonderful book." Margaret Atwood should shut the fuck up.

Glad the bear had some fucking propriety. Author would have had a great time writing erotica nowadays.
