...but, no, because Ludovico received it from his wife. Nerezza from her friend.
It just frustrated me that such a limited array of human relationships and sexual relationships were examined in a narrative meant to be so worldly. Sure there was plenty of kink and multiple sexualities and configurations, but there seemed to be so much joy and celebration missing from the sex.
