I always expected that Duncan Idaho Orgasm Climb to be kind of exaggerated, like "she watched his rippling muscles as he ascended, it made her feel warm, inside, like a woman."

Nope. Turns out it's just "she came"

The way this thread talks about it, I assumed it was Duncs vaulting a metre-high garden wall or something. Not a titanic murder-cliff. That's a bit more impressive.

Sometimes I wonder about Ol' Horny Frank's wife. Was she the freakiest of freaks? Or did she get to the bit about wall-gasms and refuse to look at any more of her husband's writing? It's been suggested elsewhere that Herbert was Not A Good Dad; was he Not A Good Spouse as well...?

She was a terminally ill person for a while from what I've read. He spent a long time taking care of her between 1974 and 84 when she died. Much of his horny poo poo (dune 3-6) was written during this period.

Herbert's not a pest, he just felt like writing about sexual politics in sci-fi, during the sexual revolution.

Interesting! Navigating a terminal illness in the context of a long-term relationship has got to be tricky. Sounds like Team Herbert found something that worked for them, and produced some decent fiction into the bargain.

One of the other classic scifi writers, Heinlein, based most of his female characters on his wife, with her blessing.

Apparently Tolkien read Dune before it was published and didn't like it one bit, which is weird if only for all the words Frank invented. You'd think Tolkien would be all over that.

Can believe it, Dune is too horny.

Kinda crazy to think Dune is a contemporary of LOTR.

Dune is stridently anti-colonialist, no surprise Tolkien would hate it. Let's be real, LOTR is about the racial holy war.

If I had to take one guess as to what Tolkien didn’t like about Dune, it would probably be Herbert’s “god is fake and religion is social control” spiel. Tolkien didn’t love colonialism any more than Herbert did, but he did love religion, a lot.

Both authors have a strong thread of mysticism in their works, just radically different interpretations of it.

In Duniefied LOTR Frodo would pop up in Mordor and effect a violent Uruk-Hai revolution against all power structures of middle earth. He would TOTALLY wear the ring for this purpose, and hate himself for it.

This is pretty much the entire premise of Middle-earth: Shadow of War, a video game from 2017.
