The Happy Hooker by Xaviera Hollander was one of the first spicy books I read. I put a book cover made from a brown paper grocery bag on it so no one would know it wasn't all that smart, just horny.

The "Beauty" trilogy by Anne Rice.

 

[lucy_sometimes]

Anne Rice is the pseudonym of Julie Burchill, a UK journalist. She wrote a racy 'shopping & f*cking' novel too.

 

[SPARTAN047]

I think Gone with the Wind and all Mills and Boon 'romantic' novels.

The "Beauty" trilogy by Anne Rice.

Those might be found under the pen name Anne Rampling as well.

No, it's not. Completely different people from different countries.

 

[lucy_sometimes]

Try again. The Anne Rice of the 'Beauty' novels is the pseudonym of former Daily Mail journalist, Julie Burchill. There may be other Anne Rices.

The Ages of Lulu, by Almundena Grandez. Forget the movie though.

The Naked Lunch, by William Burroughs. Again, forget the movie version.

Incidentally, Burroughs, in one of his last interviews, also made me feel better when he reported on his sex drive and how as a young man he had assumed this was just a phase and he would mellow out as he grew older, only to find to his consternation that he was just as sex-obsessed in his 70s as he was in his 20s. It never goes away, folks

Nope. A.N. Roquelaure.

Turns out, the Beauty Trilogy isn't a trilogy; late in life (2015) Anne Rice penned a fourth Beauty novel, "Beauty's Kingdom". Who knew?

Read the sleeping beauty under the author Anne Rogue (or something similar).

The first sex scene I read was in The Bastard by John Jakes.

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Like others, mine was Beauty's Punishment by Anne Rice

 

[twister947]

Lady Chatterly's Lover was probably my first...pretty tame stuff, actually.

Google says otherwise.

 

[FreckledSprite]

The earliest I remember were the sex scenes in Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches books. Then I see a few other posts about her.

 

[Ash999]

Anne Rice and Anne Rampling are the same author, as far as I know. She later wrote Vampire novels and series ......seems to have left BDSM stuff....

 

[Ash999]

Julie Burchill has written ' Sugar Rush', Diana, Sex and Sensibility, Married Alive ... .but Not the Beauty Trilogy

 

[Mo_Bandy]

A lot of Bukowski

Don't trust the first link you find, which supports your argument. Be thorough.

No, it really isn't.

Early in her career, Rice published some of her racier stuff under pseudonyms "Anne Rampling" and "A.N. Roquelaure" (which I misspelled above; also shows up as "Roqulaure" in some records), with the latter used for the "Beauty" series. But "Anne Rice" wasn't a pseudonym, just her everyday name. She was originally named "Howard O'Brien", but changed to "Anne" as a child and "Rice" when she married Stan Rice.

Here's a copyright record in which the author of "Beauty's Punishment" is identified as "Anne Rice, writing as A. N. Roquelaure, pseud." That is: "A.N. Roquelaure" is a pseudonym for "Anne Rice".

Here is the Penguin Random House listing for the Beauty series, with a link to an "about the author":

"Anne Rice is the author of thirty-seven books, including the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches, and the Wolf Gift book series. Rice was born in New Orleans in 1941 and grew up there and in Texas. She lived in San Francisco with her husband, the poet and painter, Stan Rice until 1988, when they returned to New Orleans to live with their son, Christopher. In 2006, Rice moved to Rancho Mirage, California. She died in 2021." [Burchill was born in 1959, which would've made her 16 or 17 years old when Anne Rice's first novel "Interview with the Vampire" was published. Not impossible but extremely improbable.]

It has a photo:


Here's a video interview with Anne Rice, one of many you can find online. Same woman as in the photo above.

And here's a photo of Julie Burchill, who is very obviously not the same person:



Rice's values and politics were also starkly opposed to Burchill's in many ways. One of the more obvious is that Rice was very supportive of queer and trans people, whereas Julie Burchill is a self-described TERF (anti-trans).

Where on earth are you getting this idea that they're the same person?

 

[lucy_sometimes]

You are right. My apologies.

Have you ever been absolutely sure of something and been wrong?

Oddly, the Julie Burchill 'Shopping and Fucking' novel seems to have been removed from her bibliography.

It was basically a list of posh brands, interspersed with graphic sex scenes. The novel was ridiculed by Private Eye.

A young woman consents to an extreme BDSM relationship in return for career advancement.

Her first task is to get 'SOLD' tattooed on her forehead. It is not in huge letters. It can sometimes be covered by hair, unless she is instructed to wear a hair or Alice band.

She names the brand and price of every item of clothing she removes, when stripping for sex.

There are some very hot scenes.

She accompanies her boss / Master to an area of Africa where 80% have AIDS and is used by many in all orifices, then forced to collect all the cum she has not yet swallowed and drink it down.

Maybe it was considered racist & therefore withdrawn.

Once again, my apologies. My memory is usually reliable, but I should have followed my own advice & checked more thoroughly.

I can't remember the title.

Is Ms Rampling related to the saucy actress Charlotte Rampling?

So now Lucy , since you've found out you R wrong , wud U be a Good Gal bend over and accept 6 of the Best as Stern Justice???!

I try to forget those times ;-)

I hadn't heard of it, but this does sound like something Burchill would write.

I'm not sure why she chose that particular pen name, though I did find an explanation for the other one:

"Roquelaure was a Frenchman who popularized a certain kind of cloak, which became known as a "Roquelaure" in the 19th century and possibly before. I chose the name A.N. Roquelaure because it means Anne with a cloak."
