my hand slipped into your hand and it was awesome and it was special

from “Extreme Chocolate” in The New Yorker October 29, 2007 by Bill Buford

quoting Frederick Schilling:

‘”What do I want from a chocolate?” he asked. “A beginning and an end. I start with the breast of a woman on her back.” He illustrated with his hand how a breast flattens when a woman lies down. “That’s my flavor curve. You start with the belly.” He used his forefinger like a pencil. “You then move up her body climbing slowly, rising up the flattened curve of the breast, gently, and the nipple pops out suddenly. Have you noticed how a woman’s nipple pops out when she is on her back? Then you slide down, an elegant finish.” He looked at me. “It always comes back to sex.”
