Sex

Mr. Harding is a patient on the ward. In the group therapy session, he discusses with the group issues he is having with his wife. As the nurse recalls these issues, it becomes apparent that a great deal of these issues are related to sex. He claims that her large breasts cause men draws unwanted attention from men. He also claims that his wife constantly thinks things are sexual gestures, even when they are not. "My dear sweet but illiterate wife thinks any word or gesture that does not smack of brickyard brawn and brutality is a word or gesture of weak dandyism." page 41.
