The Junior Dean expresses the idea that if one is not weary of sexual themes in real life, they should not be bored by them in literature. However, Dr. Matthews offers a contrasting opinion, stating that he finds discussions about sex tiresome, particularly when they revolve around the concerns of others. He feels bombarded by constant conversations about it.
This exchange highlights differing attitudes toward sexuality and its representation in both life and fiction. While some may embrace and enjoy the topic, others, like Dr. Matthews, experience fatigue from the continuous emphasis on it by society, suggesting a complex relationship between personal experience and literary themes.
