... The parts of the sentence after what is highlighted ... outline how vaginal fluids + cum smell like freshly husked corn.
I've uh, shucked a fair amount of corn, and also uh... I guess 'made my fair share of creamed corn' ... and I have no idea what this person is talking about.
This is from The Stand?
Maybe Stephen King had already obliterated his sense of smell from railing lines of coke, at this point?
I haven't read a lot of King, but something that's always stood out to me is the way he writes about sex. I get the impression that he understands what happens, but has absolutely no idea why it happens. like an alien that watched a bunch of earth porn but still has no grasp of human sexual psychology or the sensation of pleasure
To me it's always kinda felt like those scenes are written while approaching a climax. Like he was jerking off while he wrote it. The kind of shit that you look at with post-nut clarity and feel disgusted in yourself.
It is an 'unc', an elder, smugly appreciating their corniness, whilst also simultaneously being corny, by way of a visual joke that is perhaps too literal, with literal corn.
God, I’d forgotten how cringe these bits were. After a few chapters of that I wanted the incel character to blow them all up, especially as the neurotypical characters treated him like shit nonstop.
This just reminds me of the best scene in Troll 2 when the witch seduces someone with a corn cob and people behind the camera throw popcorn on them when it gets more "intense".

Is there not a kernel of truth to it?

i am going to die you are killing me...
I can't do it.
I am legitimately too angry/bamboozelled to come up with a corn themed pun.
... A-maiz-ing.

Are you... asking to sample the creamed corn?

Human + Human + Cocaine = they do the sex.
This is approximately correct, yes?
The cocaine is... aphrodisiac?
Sacred part of mating ritual?

This was peak King on cocaine. Weird sex scenes and run on sentences.

Perhaps I can see the future:
It is an 'unc', an elder, smugly appreciating their corniness, whilst also simultaneously being corny, by way of a visual joke that is perhaps too literal, with literal corn.

This is the longest sentence ever written and it's about corn and sex.

I could not stand The Stand. It was an absolute slog from start to finish.

I didn't mind it, but I also don't remember this part at all. Maybe I didn't even read the right book 🤔

There were a few different editions, this might be from the 'Extended Cut', I don't remember

It's the flourine smell in both that inspired this.

You might not be doing something right if all she thinks of is corn.
On the other hand, maybe that is exactly what you are going for. Cornerriffic!
