love these typologies

You’re hard to categorize, even in the male fantasy area. Maybe you’re a mixture of genres. A mutant,’ I went on (I love these typologies). ‘You’re not a Sexpot. Not dizzy enough. You’re not a Hot Lay either, not quite. Too calculating. You’re definitely something of a Sack Artist. And a Mata Hari too. And a Vamp. And a Ballbreaker. In the end, though, I’m fingering you for a Femme Fatale. I like it. Nice play on words. Semi-exotic. No, I like it. It’s cute.’
