I'm just going to be honest. I didn't get it and I didn't like it.
I'm not squicked out by the bodily fluid details, but they don't do anything for me either. I genuinely thought it was going to build up some actual fetish and water sports stuff, which might have actually made more sense to me.
I wonder how much of lyrical nature of the metaphor and imagery is lost in translation as I'm finding it a bit...I'm not sure how to express it, but a bit blatant and spelled out.
If it wasn't for the fact that some of the writing is interesting and I know this is very much a me problem, I would have given this a two.
Honestly, I love that this really means something to some. It's just not for me.
The joys of subjectivity!
