I have never read any of her sexual writings. She is creepy, with or without her take on sex. I'll have to look for that. Just curious. I would have no interest in spending a night with her-lol. My take of Rand is that she is a twisted crackpot. Think of her ideas that greed is good, and selfishness is correct as it plays to "the human condition". That is patently ridiculous inasmuch as we have no idea what the human condition really is even now, and certainly had no idea in the 1950's when she wrote her nonsense. The libertarians and neo cons love her-lol. The great Gregory Bateson who wrote that great esoteric book an ecology of mind was always perplexed by how one tribe in New Guinea would be very sweet and kind and in the next valley over they would all be killers. Bateson and Mead puzzled over that to the end of their lives. I have studied the human species my whole life. What I have come away with is that each of us is a sort of collage of different stages of evolution (and animals), instincts, imprinting, hormones and how our different brain centers interact. Which creates many different pots of stew-lol.
