Business And Sex

A small excerpt from Hooman Majd’s The Ayotollah Begs to Differ:

All business is like first-time sex; there are promises, then a little foreplay, followed by more promises and perhaps a little petting. […]At this stage things get a little complicated – you’re not sure who’s the boy and who’s the girl, but what you do know is that if you continue, you might get fucked. […]So you decide to proceed cautiously, touching here and touching there, showering the other party with compliments, and whispering an undying commitment, and then maybe, just maybe, it will all end in coitus, but it is rarely as satisfying for one party as it is for the other.
