The accolade is awarded by the Literary Review to dissuade authors from excessive purple prose in writing about sex.
Notoriously hard to render in literature, so much so that it has had for the past twenty two years its own award encouraging authors to up their dismal efforts on writing about what goes on between the sheets between their own pages.
Taking home the gong this year is none other than ex-Smith's frontman Morrissey. The Manchurian published his debut novel List Of The Lost last September which has been widely slammed by critics. It seems its negative press is continuing with Morrissey awarded The Bad Sex Award specifically for the passage below.
“At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.”
Bulbous salutation?

And speaking of bigmouth's striking again, not one to shy away from hyperbole, Morrissey also has been in the news today after comparing security at a San Francisco airport to ISIS. On the fansite True To You, Morrissey released a statement on his experience.
“TSA have ignored my official and legal and constitutional complaint. From this we gather that TSA stands for Thorough Sexual Assault. If you are traveling through San Francisco International Airport, you must be ready for a full sexual attack by people who claim to have your interests at heart. It is unlikely that Isis would stoop so low.”
Hopefully the incident doesn't provide inspiration for Morrissey's next literary venture.
