Literary characters you crave sexually

Lord Peter Whimsey

Dejah Thoris is a good one, but for me it was always Xanth’s Princess Irene. I had to give her up, though – when I was 12 she was 12 (when I read Castle Roogna); then, two weeks later (Centaur Aisle) I was still 12 and she was 16 – which was great, but within the next couple months she was in her 30’s, married, and had two kids, while I was only 13. (Dragon on a Pedestal)

I believe the gentleman’s name is Bink.

Steerpike from Gormenghast? :eek:

Fuchia is the only sexy character - we could read “The Frivolous Cake” to get in the mood! :smiley:

Heinlein has a lot of tempting ladies (I see the appeal of Friday, but the low self-confidence is a turnoff), but I think that the best would probably be Hazel Stone, sometime after The Moon is a Harsh Mistress but before The Rolling Stones. Heck, even at the time of The Rolling Stones… I’m sure she hasn’t forgotten a thing. As Heinlein runners-up, Adorable Dora (we all live the same length of time: One lifetime) or the Zulu girl from Tunnel in the Sky.

And on another SF note, Teela Brown might not be all that experienced, but doing it with her would bring a whole new meaning to “getting lucky”.

I am madly in love with Samuel Vimes, but I’m strongly sexually attracted to Lord Vetinari. I’m not sure exactly what that says about my unconscious.

Kamala from Siddhartha.

I guess that’s kinda weird, but she is really the only literary character I’ve ever craved sexually.

Anna Kareninna – “Such danerous passions…”

Arwen Evenstar – Who wouldn’t want to have sex with an immortal?

Bradamonte – Tough broad. Plus, if anyone pissed you off, you could have her brother take care of him. If not her.

Emma Woodhouse, Elizabeth Bennet and Anne Eliot – “Have you young ladies ever tried the ‘group’ thing before”?

Well, shy guy and Morgyn have got damn fine taste, but since I’m not in a nice-guy mood this evening, I’ve got to say Richard III as imagined by Shakespeare. (Hey, you didn’t say they had to be entirely fictional characters.)

Helene from the “Illiad”, a woman so beautiful that soldiers fight for more than 10years to get her back
and Penelope from “Odyseus”,

i like my classics

Alex from ‘Clockwork Orange’
Renton from ‘Trainspotting’
Lestat from ‘Interview with the Vampire’
McMurphy from ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’

Don’t know what that says about me - in fact I don’t want to know what that says about me.

Is there such a thing as a ‘book slut’?

Oops forgot one

Mr Knightley from ‘Emma’

My god I AM a book slut.

Claude Frollo
Severus Snape
Remus Lupin
Sirius Black
Roland of Gilead

Rhett Butler

Darkwind K’Sheyna from Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series.

Garik “Face” Loran from Star Wars: X-Wing series. (He’s NOT a movie character-he was only in the books).

Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility.

Mmmm, Darkwind.
Roland of Gilead is great.
Perrin Aybara from “The Wheel of Time” series
Jon Snow from “A Game of Thrones”

I think I’d have to second Severus Snape, there’s just something so very very sexy about him. Oh, and Aragorn… yum yum and more yum.

Marian Halcombe from “The Woman in White”. And, if we’re including comic-book characters, Rena Titanon from “Love and Rockets”. Atticus Finch, naturally, 'cept he’d tell you no for reasons of high principle… Elphaba from “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West”. Percy Blakeney from “The Scarlet Pimpernel”… oh, heck, throw in Marguerite as well. Aramis from “The Three Musketeers”. Haydee, “The Count of Monte Cristo”.

Man, talk about your book sluts.

There’s no Heinlein character in particular that grabs me, but the author himself has a serious thing for Maureen Johnson in “To Sail Beyond the Sunset”. She’s the perfect woman he spent his career building. I got one word for how she turned out: ugh.

Rosalind from As You Like It.

Mmm, tough choice. :wink:

nitpick: Wimsey, dammit, Wimsey!
