Did you know Jondalar had the biggest penis in Europe and maybe Asia?

Well, sure, but there were only like, fifty guys back then, so competition wasn't as fierce.

Ayla was cool, but he was a loser.

Ooh, an EC secret!

The scene where Ayla is turned on by horses mounting is definitely beyond squicky.

I don't read the sex scenes mainly because they get boring after a while. And sex with a guy like Jondalar shouldn't be boring. I read them as a teen too though, so I can only imagine I didn't need sex ed...

Well, she hadn't known anything close to porn so far and hadn't much to do besides struggling to survive, so I guess it makes sense she would get off at any display of sex.

*flashbacks*

AAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! <-a scream of horror turned into a supremely embarrassed laugh*

I once got into a long discussion of this series with my sister-in-law where I came to the conclusion that Ayla is about the ultimate Mary Sue character evah.

My sister in law was not pleased.

OMG, she totally is. She is the specialest of special snowflakes and invents every modern idea centuries before its time. She really started to annoy me by the end of reading the books.

You're right, she totally is. Ayla is the biggest Sue to ever Sue. Well, at least until Bella Swan.

she absolutely is, and jondalar is the ultimate gary stu

She is! She invented ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, WTF.

I never read this one, but I read Clan of the Cave Bear when I was about 13. It was traumatizing to my young self.

I enjoyed Clan of the Cave Bear but couldn't get into the rest of the series. Such wordy prose, so much filler. Those books needed some editing. I can't wade through so much yadda-yadda-yadda. Get on with it! :P

My horny friend introduced me to them as a new pubescent. She loooooved all the sex scenes with Jondalar and rapey Neantherdals. The descriptions did nothing for me, I just thought they were silly. I guess I should have maybe noticed I might have not been into guys, but I just thought I was developmentally delayed.

Wow, she... really missed the point, then. :/ I think I'd re-read them with a different mindset.

Did nothing for me either and I'm dead straight and very interested in guys. Just not crap writing.

iow not being turned on by any and all straight sex is a very poor indicator of sexuality. We're not just Pavlov dogs, y'know.

My mother got these for me when I was about twelve or thirteen because "she heard that they were good," though it was obvious she hadn't read them herself. So I read, horrified but shamefully intruiged. But after around the 2nd book, I'd had too much and shoved them in the back of the bookcase. Later my mom had a yardsale, and she asked me if I had any books I wanted to get rid of. I put them in the box with a few other books I didn't want. Then I realized the people who bought them would realize that we had those kind of books. Or what if they saw them and they knew? so I smuggled them under my shirt and waited until night and buried them in the yard. My younger self was really lame and innocent.

I just love the fact that you literally buried some books in the yard.

*laaaaaaaaaaaaaaughs*

Not even half as funny, but I got them from my dad, before he'd had a chance to read them himself. So then I had to make excuses why he couldn't. "I forgot the first part at school, and starting with the second makes no sense -- why not read something else?" *desperate sweating*

I didn't bury anything in the yard, but my mother also got me one of these, operating under the same 'heard it was good' notion. Moms, amirite?

LOL!IRL

My mother let me read them at quite a young age, she'd read them too. I love my mom to pieces. ^_^

Oh god these books. I read the Valley of Horses one first when I was 12 and then reread it. The sex scenes were something I mostly skimmed back then, fully aware that my parents would take away the book if I mentioned it. I mostly liked that they were all fluff - no plot to them. As an avid reader I enjoyed a brief break from intensely plotty books.
Then I realized it was 2 in a series, got the first one, and had to put it down during the rapey scenes so my 12 year old self could go have a sympathetic cry. I finished the book and eventually the whole series, still mostly skipping those sex scenes, just because I like reading about how people lived back in those times, and for the same fluffy reasons.
On another note, these books and a few other clues helped me realize I'm asexual, so I have that at least.

My father loves books about early societies, so he has all of these. Even he admits the sex scenes are terrible, though. (For what it's worth, he thought People of the Raven was better.)
