Tucker Max, Part II

Roger Ebert once commented that he hated people who said, "I don't like Westerns" or "I don't like science fiction." To dismiss an entire genre is ridiculous. There are good and bad movies in every genre. I agree.
It would be easy to dismiss Tucker Max. A guy who would have sex with a fat woman and throw her clothes out the window so she wouldn't try meet his roommates is worthy of contempt, ridicule and scorn. So why did I keep reading? He's a fascinating writer. Even he seems to know that only good writing will make anyone interested in his story. He writes:
The problem with oral sex is that it's like writing. When done right, it's amazing, but there are just so many ways it can go wrong, and when it goes wrong, it's just not worth it.
