I don't know if this was supposed to be funny, but it made ME laugh:

"Now there was a condom, and he was tearing the wrapper. Rolling it down the blush of his length, and it was one of those fetish black ones. When he got it to the base, slacks only unzipped but belt intact, he looked glossy and threatening, like some intimidating new dildo she’d buy and then have second thoughts about."

From "Breathless" by Eris Adderly in Black LIght: Roulette War

PURPLE PROSE MONDAY is now a thing. I decided just now.

Search your manuscript for the words "like a" and post THREE SIMILES you wrote in your manuscript.

I'll start.

1) Wind from the Deep beckoned the Dwarrow down like a hand tugging on cloak hems.

2) Esor could not retreat into his robes like a turtle into his shell, but he made a marvelous effort at stuffing his chin behind his cravat.

3) Ilare quietly sang, "I have been so lonely," whispering from her like a brook rippling between stones.

Get purple with me! Post a simile or three, like a child pinning the tail on the donkey!

I'm listening to an audio book and O M G - it has a simile in every sentence or two. Every simile known to writer-kind. It's gotten to the point that I can't mentally bleep over them lol. Twining hair and stinging wind, begone with you!
