| | Gil Grissom's sex life. - By Dana Stevens - Slate Magazine |
 | | Some of the literature spawned by CSI is "slash," or gay-themed, some is straight, but an inordinate amount of it focuses on the off-screen cavortings of Gil Grissom, the lead investigator played by William Petersen. |
 | | For those of you who haven't watched the show, Gil is hardly the most obvious object of erotic longing; he's a gray-haired, slightly dumpy, middle-aged workaholic who probably smells faintly of formaldehyde, and whose social skills are inversely proportional to his forensic acumen. |
 | | Gil Grissom's appeal as a source for viewer fantasy is that he manages to give the impression that, in between episodes, he could be up for pretty much anything. |
