And today's ridiculous sex trope in a literary novel goes to...

From Paul Auster's Leviathan, Viking 1992 edition, page 127:

He saw his fingertips falling gently on a spot just above her left knee; he saw his hand as it traveled up into the silky regions of her inner thigh (those small areas of flesh still hidden by the skirt), and then, after allowing his fingers to roam there for several seconds, felt them slip past the rim of her undies into an Eden of buttocks and dense, tingling pubes.

Emphasis mine, Edentary gynenomy is all Auster's [and well, no doubt a dozen other literary writers trying be all dirty smart].
