This via email to me. Ordinarily I wouldn't post nonattributed stuff but wotthehell it's Sweeps Week on AFU:

"The Bad Sex Prize, a British award for the worst description of sex in a novel, went yesterday to a director of the auction firm Sotheby's. Philip Hook's book, "The Stonebreakers," was awarded the prize by The Literary Review magazine. The passage that clinched his victory included the lines: "Their jaws ground in feverish mutual mastication. Saliva and sweat. Sweat and saliva. There was a purposeful shedding of clothing."
