Quote #7
'If somebody asked you what your deepest sexual experience had been, what would you say?'
I knew the answer to that. 'Lying in bed one early morning and watching a woman in a red dressing-gown brush her hair.' (2.2.3.156-157)
Fowler's sexuality extends beyond the pursuit of sexual intercourse, but it's still limited. His deepest sexual experience isn't a deeply personal and intimate encounter with another person. It's a passive moment when he was distanced and disengaged from another. He was doing one thing. She another. In that moment, he wasn't involved.
