"But Alden's purpose is not merely sex: he is an adept of Aleister Crowley's early 20th-century occult faith of Thelema; and part of his research for a musical composition with which he hopes to attain enlightenment (and success on Radio 3) is based on recording Joan's physiological responses to sexual torture."
The book is Vocational Girl, the reviewers Kate Holden and Rowan Pelling. Pelling calls it "fearful tosh", which is probably the funniest expression I've heard in a long time. (Yes, I'm easily amused. And no, I don't plan to read it.)
