I'm a guy who is constantly being accused of flirting with women, even though it's not intentional flirting, it's simply how I talk. So I'm pretty sure that I'd enjoy that kind of banter :) but Harry has some kind of issues from what I see. He considers talking about certain topics and sleeping with someone a lot closer than I do. It makes some scenes twice as funny to me :)

Harry kinda reminds me of a couple of 12 year olds giggling and going red over a porn magazine they stole/found around their granddad's house.
... hear me roar ;)

Maybe in the first couple of books; but, i think he has matured past that. Though, I am in my 40s and still get a little giddy with nudity.

I was fairly open about many things for a long time... but since I spent some time in hospitals and treatments where I had to be naked in front of other people, including ladies my age or younger, I simply stopped caring.

I think a lot of it is situational.  I've seen naked bodies where there was NO sex appeal, and other where I was GAh-GAh ....

I'm in a mind of the opening of "To Sail Beyond the Sunset" by Robert Heinlein.  She was totally hot and totally naked, and no one gave her a second look, because of the situation.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Must have been one really bad situation. The only Heinlein I can remember reading was "Starship Troopers."

I didn't read the book yet, just the synopsis, and from that I'm guessing that the book probably didn't need more sex scenes...

Good for you. I'm still single, slowly rivaling Dresden as far as relations with women are concerned.

So... what can go wrong at Peace Talks...? Wait, no, let me rephrase that: What can't go wrong at the upcoming Peace Talks?

Obviously Black Council members will definitely do their best to do some sabotage. I'm suspecting some false flag operations. Probably in Chaptera 2-4.

I'm wondering how the first debate between Titania and Mab since Hastings will go. Also... there was one thing I've been wondering about for some time: In Summer Knight, at the stone table, didn't they at least exchange a few words?

Lara will push for peace for sure. It is in her best interest. Who's the leader of the Black Court? Dracula? I'm wondering about discovering further feuds between various supernatural nations. It seems like Reds got along with Blacks, but the Black Court and White Court seem to have a thing going on.

Fomor will probably try to jump in as well. The Dark Elves probably will be sticking up for Winter, because Molly.

I think Mab and Titania do emissaries.

Heinlein did two different kinds of books.  Ones for boys (Like Starship Troopers) and his Adult books.

None of them really have sex scenes in them.  They TALK about sex a bunch, and different kinds of configurations for families, but no actual descriptions of the acts.

And To Sail isn't nearly as full of it as is Friday.  I REALLY liked that one.

So, Wardenferry, you really want that on your to-read list.
