Reply to comment by AmnesiaCane in Does Don Winslow introduce endless female characters just to write explicitly about their bodies and sex lives? by hammnbubbly

We can't really be sure he actually likes it. That's the whole problem with people extrapolating content to author character: there's no actual certainty of connection between the two. Maybe he does it because he thinks it makes the books sell better. Maybe he does it to maintain a consistent theme. Maybe he does it to upset people. There's no way to know, short of Butcher literally telling us his reasons.

Right, Butcher notoriously plays his cards to his chest and clearly doesn't enjoy giving away details about himself, his world, or his writing process to his fans at the drop of a hat. He's so inscrutable!

I'm sorry for being sarcastic, I do appreciate your point and the conversation, but come on. If you know anything at all about him, you know he definitely likes it.
