Does anyone else feel weird about how sex is treated in Promethea?
I will start by saying I haven't yet finished reading Promethea, having just finished chapter 19, so I might not have a full picture of things yet. Does anyone else feel weird about how sex is treated in Promethea? Specifically in chapter 10 and chapter 16. Jack Faust offering to exchange magic lessons for sex felt predatory, but then chapter 10 is like "Oh no, sex with a weird old wizard is actually super great and informative! Also incredibly pleasurable! Nothing creepy about it at all!", and later chapters even mention that Sophie still hangs out with him, and considers him a friend, and I just find the whole thing super off. Then, in chapter 16, Barbara takes a break from her quest to find her husband, and has an offscreen quickie with Austin Spare. She then has some tragic bubble flashbacks about how she wasn't there for her husband when he needed her, but doesn't reflect at all about how she just took a break from her quest to find him to sleep with a guy she just met. Am I just not sex positive enough for this book? Are these events not weird to other people?
