Unknown Victorian Erotic-Pornographic Literature

Favorite Unknown Victorian Erotic-Pornographic Literary Masterpieces

At the beginning of my student years in 1965, I 've discovered and appreciated two relatively unknown printed masterpieces of erotic and pornographic literature of the 19 th centuy, which have accompanied me all my life long. I discovered the two books some days ago on the internet and I am glad to share the magnificent works with you:

The Pearl, a magazine of facetiae and voluptuous reading was a monthly pornographic magazine issued for 18 months in London by William Lazenby from July 1879 to December 1880 with two Christmas supplements , it was closed down by the Authorities for publishing obscene literature.

Read and have graet fun :

My Secret Life by "Walter" is the memoir of a Victorian gentleman's sexual development and experiences. It was first published in a private edition of eleven volumes , which appeared around over seven years beginning in 1888.

The work itself is enormous , amounting to over one million words , the original eleven volumes amounting to over 4,000 pages . The text is repetitive and highly disorganized , but its frank discussion of sexual matters and other hidden aspects of Victorian life make it a rare and valuable social document . It has been Described as "one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written"

Read, have fun and be fascinated about completely concealed sexual aspects of the victorian ages:

After you have read a few chapters in My Secret Life, you'll have to revise your current conception of a sexually prudish and uptight Victorian era !
The sexual adventures and experiences of the rich English gentleman Walter from his early c***dhood to his old days exceed any imagination!

In the age of the Internet you can discover online numerous books of classic erotic literature online and read it. A new possibility is to read it at Kindle. A great overview to this genre of literature with the possibility to load down texts as e-books for free can be found at the internet-site Kink For Kindle

Netersel gave me your page. I have just started to look around the collection. I found My Secret Life when I started college. I found it very erotic and enjoyed reading it. I haven't thought about it in years. Thanks for reminding me about it. Now I have to find it and reread it.

Thank you for your detailed comment. You have made almost the same experience as me in my student's years with erotic literature of the Victorian era.
Can I read The Oyster online? If you have a link, please send it to me and I will post it in this blog.

Not to spam your comment feed, but in reading some excerpts from My Secret Life...years ago when we had the BBS systems and Fidonet, gopher, etc. I found some excerpts of this and read them. Now it's all there on the interwebs. :smile:

кому egines : The Pearl is now on my reading list and I may start reading a chapter a night. The other, My Secret Life, as soon as I got to the website I saw I'd bookmarked this but so often I mark a page and never return -- much like that man in the famous song about the Boston MTA "The Man Who Never Returned" by the Kingston Trio... Anyway, I'll spend more time there and it was interesting to see that actor Harold Lloyd owned a copy. Lloyd was so good and is nearly forgotten. There's an hilarious youtube clip called "Driving Around New York" with him and Babe Ruth too...So long for now.

кому anthony_weston : I know that hardly anyone knows the titles of this erotic masterpieces or has even read it. But they are worth it. I did so in my student's years - I had a lot of time and the internet and xHamster were was not yet existing in the mid of the 60s. If you start reading only a few chapters, you can not stop to go on ...

I have read numerous works of erotic world-literature and I think these two are the coronation of this literary genre.

"one of the strangest and most obsessive books ever written"

Here is a criticism that can not be ignored and should push any man or woman to devour this book or maybe just extracts (4000 pages, my god)
