A Clockwork Orange Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

R

To justify the R rating, let's quickly reference the following: "… real good horrorshow groodies they were that then exhibited their pink glazzies, O my brothers, while I untrussed and got ready for the plunge" (1.2.23).

Alex is getting ready to rape a woman, and he described in detail—incomprehensible detail, but detail nonetheless—what her breasts look like. This narrative occurs just before Alex takes the "plunge" while Dim holds the woman down...and while the woman's husband is forced to watch.

Yeah. Don't let your little cousin read this book.
