From the Paper:

'This study will discuss the portrayal of sexual love in J.P. Donleavy's novel "The Ginger Man". Specifically, the study will argue that Donleavy's depiction of sexual love among the characters is meant to be both a celebration in its most blatant form of the pleasure of sexuality, and at the same time a more subtle suggestion that the ongoing sexual hunt of Sebastian Dangerfield is a means for that character to avoid the deeper significance of man's relationship with woman.

Almost every encounter with Dangerfield in the book is charged with sexual energy. Speaking with O'Keefe, Dangerfield turns the conversation to sex, not that O'Keefe needed much turning himself:

"And now I've got a degree in classics and still have to cook.""
