The language used in this novel is generally very vulgar in terms of erotica. It is very sexually graphic and used to show the casual nature of sex in the environment described. The common usage, for example, of the word "sex" in reference to genitals seems to infer that this is the use for this part of the anatomy. The common usage of more vulgar terms, such as "cock", reinforces the casual nature of sexual relationships in the sphere. The manner in which homoerotic content is mentioned is also casual, showing itself to be a common occurrence as well.
