Summary
They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.

What can I say about emmagrant01’s powerhouse greatest-of-all-time smut fest A Cure for Boredom? Somewhere between (spoiler alert!) the Britney Spears look-alike in the naughty school girl outfit, the lovable married parents who swing and the polite Adonis model who would please any size queen, I evolved past my furious blushing and succumbed to carnal oblivion.
Jesus H. Christ, this story inflames one's erotic imagination; but that's not why the story is so good - it's not why it works so well. In her author's notes, Ms. Grant describes this story as a "souped-up PWP," but I don't think she gives herself enough credit with that statement. There is a lot going on here, beyond sexual adventures: There is a seriously dark and all too true-to-life case, there is terrific humor, fabulous interactions with Mycroft, Lestrade, and Mrs. Hudson, and most importantly, Sherlock and John cautiously inching toward emotional vulnerability and love. It's why, despite all manner of sex with different participants and scenarios, the most intensely erotic moments occur between John and Sherlock. Because, you know, when sex and love are congruous... oh yeah. :)
