To me “horny” is not the same as erotic or hypersexual.
“They call it horny because its devilish, now see we dead wrong…” So its not eros that’s the operative idea in horniness, but rather the rub of desire against guilt. So its got to be a big-C Catholic. And because its an impish impulse, because it derives more pleasure from the play than the game, its a poet. And because its potential for excitement is predicated upon a set of rules designed to be ignored, its an American. And because its power stems from the larger cultural quiet around the question, its a midwesterner. And because its equal parts tactile curiosity and emotional disquiet, its a man.
I was at a restaurant (with a full bar – a drinky joint) in Berkeley a few weeks ago and the table next to us was having a rip-roaring discussion about I didn’t know what and I turned and looked at them quizzically half laughing and the woman closest to me said “Do YOU think Michael Chabon is gay?”

I was going to say Philip Roth, but I have to agree with you that the prize has to go to the Marquis de Sade. For Philosophy in the Bedroom alone he should get it.
