"A Sexless Wife Finds Pleasures So Straight Forward" The narrator tells us that this chapter is about a sexless woman who finds pleasure in the simple things in life, like going to the movies or going out with friends. She's bored, she tells us, because she's been going to brothels all her life. Now she wants to go to a brothel and have sex with a man. The narrator doesn't know how to respond to this, but he does know that the sexless wife wants to have sex. He tells her that she shouldn't be so selfish as to go into a brothel just to get sex, but that she should try to get more sex out of life. She tells him to whisper to her husband a few days after this chapter ends.
