hemingway once wrote a scene where a woman was masturbating, & he wrote it so that she was thinking the whole time abt how hot she was and how good she looked instead of thinking abt something arousing, & that tells me that one of two things must have been true: a) he was so clueless abt sexuality that he assumed that women must find themselves attractive rather than other people, b) he himself masturbated while thinking abt how hot he was & just assumed it was normal
