In this instance, the professor invited the Goddess of Love to make a public statement of her desire for Mason... although it was clearly taking a risk.

The Goddess of Love gets involved when she sees that, by her yardstick, men have been slow to embrace the new reality. If it's a shy or overprotected young man, she tries to move the process along by making women who were already available, super-available. She's also trying to get women as open about their sexuality as their newly engaged and enlarged sex drives are making them want to be, by turning what might have previously been individual events into communal events. Note the reaction of the female students in the class as well as other instances of "sharing" and bonding between women sharing a man. The Goddess is trying to develop new rituals to celebrate the reduction of men and their dedication to serving  womens' passions. Unless invited, she barges in when she thinks things are at an impasse... much like an old-fashioned matchmaker, she wants potential couples to put aside the small issues and get down to business. The Goddess and Scarpo knew there was a connection there... she was just making sure it didn't get lost in the shuffle. 

I write these chapters with a time limit, usually one hour. It imposes a discipline on me, but sometimes things get repetitive.
