Gain Romance Of Lust Executed By Anonymous Rendered As Print

keep this short and sweet: SEX, SEX, SEX, Now that I have your attention I found this book to be hilariously erotic, I utilized this piece as part of my BA research thesis regarding human sexuality during the Victorian period.
Nonstop uh, “promiscuity,” from the very first few pages until the very end, Some may be turned off by thisunderstandablyso, be prepared there is essentially no plot outside of the characters finding every way possible to satisfy their superhuman sexdrives.
I picked this up led by curiosity when I was browsing the Gutenberg Project catalogue, It was my first erotic novel and I had no idea what to expect, moreover from a Victorian one.
It never crossed my mind that it could be right out porn, And yet, it is just that, Not eroticism. Pornography. It covers PornHub's entire catalogue of topics in writing,

And it is not good writing, The language is extremely repetitive, there is no plot worth mentioning and the characters are absolutely flat.
They have just one thing on their minds and the emotional complexity of an inflatable doll, The book has all the makings of a contemporary adult movie, although the incest between closely related minors would get it banned.
This last topic was a major reason why I gave up one third through the book,

That said, I was truly impressed and humbled by the whole experience, We tend to think that kinky sexual practices and objectivization are something we, modern people, created or at least that we took it to extremes.
What conceit! Maybe we made the adult genre more available and visual but I feel we have made no contribution to the content in the last couple of centuries.
Not my proudest fap Victorian era erotica, Young man discovers sex, has many experiences shared in great detail, Initially somewhat fun, but becomes tedious pretty quickly,pages ofmore than enough, Not for everyone for sure,
DNF Little Romance, lotsa Lust

Skimmed over

the hetero bits, Once more surprised at how modern it readsthe Victorians really did have, and use, pretty much all the same words we did.
Like most period porn, it interesting, but entirely unerotic, Everything, including the sex, is summarised rather than shown, making it tedious rather than arousing, especially since there isn't any plot this speak of.
Though I'm sure it would have been brainor ballblowing to a Victorian,

It doesn't even attempt a facade of realism, This is porn, not erotica, and our narrator has all three legs standing firmly in the territory of pornotopia.
Everyone isn't just 'up for it' all the time, but up for sex with either sex, in any hole, and ready to play any role.
Taboos, whether against incest, pedophilia or homosexuality, don't seem to exist, at least not for the main characters.
It's taken for granted that every man in action with a woman will be open to buggering a man or boy, and, eventually, to be buggered in his turn.
Even if all the above are his blood relations, And that's not addressing the even more, er, particular pathologies on display here,

They're the kind of comoppletely shameless, inhibitionless, amoral characters that, at least in the Victorian era, only inhibited pornography.
They have no real attributes behind their genitals, no traits other than being horny, for everyone's all the time.
There's no real concept of sexual orientation, or fixed sexual roles, at all, True polymorphous perversity, ambivalent omnisexuality, Which, if we take it as reflective of the tastes at least of the author, and presumably the audience, of this book, speaks to the fact that sexual liberation, and the broader movement of 'liberation' of which it is the spearhead, is like the eightpointed Star of Chaos, whose arrows run in all directions.
Some extend further than others, but it's the rare pervert who is not even moderately multipronged, The breaking down of taboos in one area steadily erodes taboos in other areas as well tolerance and normalisation of fornication, adultery and divorce led to the tolerance and normalistion of homosxuality which led to the tolerance and normalisation of transsexuality, polygamy and who knows, maybe before long pædopholia They were still trying in thes.


In Ancient Greece to be highlysexed, even highlyheterosexed, had connotations of depraved effeminacy, rather than virile masculinity as it does today.
And in light of the fact that more recent studies have shown that porn among the many other harmful things it does tends to make men who consume it more liberal in their political attitudes, who's to say the Greeks were wrong

Sexual licence is the great shatterer of social normsof all social norms.
At the time this book was published its very possession was illegal, Nonetheless, it was only a book, A single volume. The harm it could do was limited, Then came movies, then came television, then came the leviathan, the basilisk of the World Wide Web.
And the lid of Pandora's box was torn off its hinges, and all the genies came out of the bottle.


I belong to the first generation in the West to grow up in this Brazen and Bizarre New World.
Things have accelerated faster than anyone could have guessed, Just look at public discourse, even political discourse, today, The borderlines between the world of Pornotopia, and the real world, the world we all inhabit, horny teens and little kids and sweet old grandmother's alike, have become so blurred, even in what was once considered 'mainstream' media, one never quite knows where one is anymore, what is and what is not acceptable to say in a certain context.
Propriety, modesty and courtesy have vanished all, and we are all left floundering in the bright chromatic void.
Meme culture has become political and even intellectual culture, and meme culture is to a very large degree, humans being what they are, and the internet being what it's for, porn culture.
Pornography has become our culture, infesting it to every corner, infecting it in every angle the fantasies of slash fangirls now dictate the production and direction of big budget TV shows, and finally replacing it.
We have surpassed Japan, where the line between a mainstream cartoon for kids and hardcore sexual horrors so depraved they would have given the Marquis de Sade a heart attack through his dick, is delineated only by a few pixelated genitals.
The art may be less popular than the xrated parody, Both may have been created by the same artists, may even have the same actors and actresses.
A politician proudly 'leaks' his own sextapes, Characters come with porn parody prepackaged, presexualised, preobjectified, prefetishised, preruined, Preteens are sexualised, objectified and ruined, Freerange iPad kids are already finding Rulesmut cartoons when they look up Disney characters, When a young postapocalyptic scavenger past the beige horizon of the future finds a copy of Whore of Thrones, how should he know that wasn't the original In many ways the smutty fake is a much more sincere reflection of our society at that moment than the slightlylesssmutty real.
And who is going to be ashamed of their pecadilloes when everyone else, apparently, is shameless It's exhilarating, yes, but also deeply, existentially terrifying.
Fun while it lasts, but now long can it How long can you ride the tiger before he throws you down and devours you And where will it all end What waits at the bottom of the civilisational cliff What comes after the Kali Yugarebirth or oblivion At last the wave of sexual revolution has carried us to the shores of utopia.
But it's name, after all, was not Eden or even Arcadia, but Sodom, And the fire is just beginning to fall, .
