Bad Sex Writing

There is a literary society in England that awards an annual 'Bad Sex in Fiction' prize. Here is a passage (one of many) from a recent winner of this prize:
"Like a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect with a too blunt pin he screwed himself into her." - with thanks?? to an Irish author, Rowan Somerville.

The sex is trite, predictable, intrusive and unbelieveable. Noat even decent fantasy. Must be a lot of sad lonely women around for this book to become a best seller. What does it say about me that I bought it too?
