Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Liz develops a urinary infection from so much sex. She has had them before, recognizes it, and goes to Wayan for help. Wayan says sex is “funny” that way and begins to make her potions. As she cooks them up, Liz asks if she has bought the house. Wayan says the property was too expensive. The discussion seems incidental to treating the infection. When Liz calls Felipe to bring her antibiotics, Wayan says she only needs two hours and that she shouldn’t take antibiotics.
When Felipe comes, the three of them discuss Wayan’s skill as a sexual healer for women’s vaginas and men’s “bananas.” She can make dildos for women. She can stiffen bananas. This arouses Felipe’s entrepreneurial interest, but Wayan says it can’t be scaled and must be done one case at a time. She helps infertile couples. When the man is sterile, however, she cannot tell him. It must always be the woman’s fault. If she can’t conceive a child, he may divorce her. Wayan will say she is treating the woman and then call one of the local drivers to have sex with the woman and father the child.
