Clear points in Children of Dune where Frank is writing about boys on the cusp of adolescence with his cock in hand.

Even clearer points in books 5/6 where he is writing complex BDSM fantasies to include in his books about space.

Is it strange that as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the bizarre sexual proclivities and impositions of the authors' fetishes in books?

I feel like I used to see it as "unprofessional" or "embarrassing," but now I see it like the extra little flavoring of a nearly extinct vintage of wine, explained by its storage in a certain castle during the Seven Years' War. I just want to swirl Frank Herbert's man-boy love fixation around in my mouth and say
>Ah yes, there it is, that woody aftertaste. He loves naked little boys.

Successive readings of Mann's works have been much improved by knowing he was tormented by deranged homoerotic fantasies about his adolescent male relatives. I am not a boyfucker myself, but I feel like I could dine at their table and enjoy their stories of frustrated desire. It's somehow patrician.
