I don't know if these are technically of an erotic nature, but Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series had a few good sex scenes, especially as the series progressed. I read those behind Mom's back when I was like fourteen. Awesome series.

For me it was Harold Robbins.
My mum had piles and piles of read paperbacks of varying types and condition.
I don't know how it started, but I soon realised that the sex scenes were always at the end of a chapter, so that found it easier to find them. After a while of course I ended up reading the whole book. I read a lot, if not most of his books in my younger years.
I tried to read one some years ago and found that the sex scenes had been edited out. Soon put it down and forgot about it.
All in all though, can't say they affected me, as such, but they were a part of my adolescence.

I take you literally when you say "early age".
By my teens I was reading lots of porn (I got into reading every "Olympia" I could lay my hands on, they were erotica publishers who published Story of O, Nexus/Plexus, Venus in Furs, de Sade, in fact pretty much everything a horny intellectual adolescent could ask for).
But "early age" for me means before I "knew" about sex.
The Green Witch in "The Silver Chair" by C.S. Lewis represented the snake in Eden; she "used to make me feel funny, like when we climbed the rope in gym", to quote Garth.
When I was a lkid of about eleven, I discovered that my parents bookshelves contained quite a few books with "fuck bits":
The scene with Nately's Whore in Catch-22;
Some book by Susan Sontag had a great scene with a blind woman fucking a strange guy on a train;
Larry Niven's Ringword had the medusa-haired Teela and the 500-year-old prostitute Hraloprillallar, giving the hero Louis Wu and me a boner;
None of the above are erotic books, but they had brilliant sex scenes.

The Sears Catalog was good enough for me back in my salad days. Didn't take much.
Payton Place. I also spent a week poring through Jean Paul-Sartre's Nausea that I found on a shelf at home. It had a sexy cover and it was by a French guy. What did I know? Can you imagine trying to get a hard-on reading Sartre when you're 14 years old?
As soon as I could I started buying dirty books with titles like Sin Defectors, Forbidden Desires, Sinful Desires, The Upstairs Maid, Captive from the DMV, His Gal Friday..., all those strokers by people like Peter Palmer, Rod Strong, Lance Hardin, etc. I had a great collection of one-handed readers that got wiped out in a flood. Some of them were probably classics.

Mab., Sartre for sex, that's hilariously rich. (I think de Beauvoir would have laughed, but not Dr. Morose, Jean-Paul).

Ummmmmmm,
Heinleins books for starters, and I keep reading them. Another was the Seduction of Eskimo Lil, ( Can't remember the author, it was too many years ago but I would love to find it again.) Of course I spent many hours poring over the National Geographic, until that is, I found the local swimming hole. Then even National Geo paled by comparison. (The old stories about the farmers daughter are right, as long as she knows you.
) Amazing what the hardy women of the farm belt will do to that bit hanging between the legs of a ten year old. Too bad we all had to grow up and learn about guilt and sin.

A man with a Maid, Autobiography of a Flea, Fanny Hill, a book called the happy hooker (not the Xaviria Hollander one) and RLS's Treasure Island. Not exactly erotic, but pirates & sailing ships have had a prominent place in my fantasies since I read it

books at an early age for me
No one said The Pearl yet! Heinlein was good, so were the Gor series and the John Carter of Mars stories. Michener, Robbins, Man with a Maid - didn't get as much from Autobio of a Flea or Fanny Hill, though they were ok - Sadopaedia was good, as was Eros, Frank & I, etc. - lots of good memories, even including early Penthouse forums! Not many wrong answers to this question.

Sadopaedia - it was a very naughty book.
The first half of it did nothing for me. I skimmed through it and got to the second half.
Two young girls, one fourteen and not developed, the other sixteen and just barely developed. I wondered why. (I didn't know that girls matured so much slower back then).
The story is told through the eyes of a dirty old man (old=college age). He watches as his much-older lover and the woman's lover bend the little girls over and spank them with a birch (what's that? a stick of some kind?) and later a riding crop and every other kind of thing.
He gets excited just watching and he gets his chance with them later. Eventually, he allows the girls to turn the tables on the women.
It was quite an education: hearing what the man thought about when he saw those naked women and naked little girls; how excited he got when he heard and watched them being spanked; what he wanted to do with them.
I put myself in the girls' position and I watched over the man's shoulder as he watched me being spanked.
Would a man really think that way about a girl like me? Would he want to watch as my panties came down and I was spanked until I cried? Would he want to do it to me? Would he really want to do other things with me?
And he was such a gentleman about it, so refined and dignified. They were virgins and they stayed that way. But in other ways, he was extremely naughty.
Why did he always refer to his penis as "John Thomas" or "his lordship" as if it had a mind of its own?
What about the women? Did adult women really get off like that? Even in my great-grandmother's time? I mean they were *old* - like almost thirty or something!
My parents had been lying to me. There were other people in the world who enjoyed naughty things - and some of them wrote books about it.

Not so bad of a book, but when you are 12 it was pretty hot!
Wifey, by Judy Blume
I loved her books, then found out she wrote an adult book, I wanted to read it so bad but the librarian that had known me all my life said no, not without your moms permission.
Well Mom was presured into taking it out and reading it first. She didnt think it was that bad so she let me read it. OMG they had real sex in it!!! lol
Years later I worked for the library and when I saw the exact book, I had to have it. Yes, I stole it!
It was the first book to give me the urge to take care of my own business so to speak! lol
Have a good one, Cealy

I know that cover, Mab!
Also Lolita had a cover that made me read it. The girl sucking the lolipop. I was Lolita's age when I read 'Lolita'.
Strange dark sexual images in JD Salingers 'Nine Tales'.
I never read Peyton Place. It was a really dull series on TV (which I saw when I lived in the states, fifteen years later as part of Alistaire Cooke's "Masterpiece Theater"). Didn't know it had sex. Didn't it star Richard Chamberlain?

You needed to read Peyton Place near its publication (the times). When it came to tv it was watered down and boring. The soppy and very young Ryan O'Neal starred with the equally uninteresting Mia Farrow. I think there was a movie too, starring Lana Turner.Sub Joe said:

I think it would be Night in a Moorish Harem for me. I can't remember who wrote it.
Plus lots and lots of really second rate skin mags of which Jaguar is the only one whose title I remember.
Hmm, after 35 years I can still remember that nicely upholstered redhead they had as the centrefold for one issue of Jaguar.

At an early age?
"Lad. A Dog." by Albert Peyson Terhune. That collie was so, so smart, and I could hardly wait to have one. In the years since I read "Lad," I've owned one pet after another, and not one has understood me the way Lad understood Mr. and Mrs. Albert Peyson Terhune.
Come to think of it, Lad and his mate, Lady, both thought of Mr. Terhune as "The Master."

hmm.. I feel like such a prude.
I read my mothers harlequin romances (paging through to find the sex scenes, then the book would hook me)
I thought 'The otherside of midnight' was pretty dirty at the time. Also read a popular romance at my grandmother's house which turned out to be about a girl being turned into a porn star (the girl with the golden pussy) and a spoiled rich girl. By that author who always writes about Hollywood Wives and stuff.
BUT THEN- I found these books in this little honor system 'library' at the laundrymat in the trailer court near my house (mostly retired people lived in there) Anyway, I think they were called Spur- and they were diiirrrty! I read them all, and returned them so my mom wouldn't find them or something.
We always read Cosmo at slumber parties and stuff.
And I also read a lot of "True Story" magazines cause my mom boaght them.

I guess the very first time something I read affected me it would have been the Bible, in church. Song Of Solomon I believe it was, where the writer talked of the church as if it were a lady. I found myself with a rather hard...anyway, it was kept from being embarrassing due to the fact the preacher had just started his long winded sermon.
The first real sex story I read...Story of O. Man...my thoughts.

LOL, that book. I think they leave that in the bible to give teens and perverts (like us) a reason to keep going to church
. I don't believe for a minute what the 'church' sais about the book being 'metaphorical'-- that is just the justification the sex-haters use for it's inclusion. (Hell, that is a whole other thread) [And yes, I do think they are 'sex-haters']Many of the books that have been listed so far, were also on this list: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...1903562/sr=5-2/ref=sr_5_2/104-5262297-0499904

I remember that same minister getting all tongue tied once during confirmation when asked why the Bible had such pornographic imagery in text as it does. (he had spent a whole sermon on the evils of porn that Sunday.)
