Fanny Hill

[zotique]

Did anyone else discover erotica through Fanny Hill?

I must have jerked off with it hundreds of times after I discovered that book. It was the most explicit thing I'd ever seen.

Fanny Hill and...

Fanny Hill, or memoirs of a woman of pleasure. Ohh, yes. That, along with My Life and Loves, by Frank Harris, both generated a love of Victorian erotica. Many, many stroke sessions to both. Both were more arousing to me than D.H.Lawrence and Henry Miller.

 

[zotique]

Yeah, I liked Harris too.

Tropic of Capricorn and a six of Schlitz always worked for me when I was 14.

I had a similar experience with Fanny Hill. I found a copy in a second hand book store recently and bought it for a couple of bucks. It seems to have lost its magic effect on my dick after all these years.

John Cleland supposedly wrote it to win a bet that he could write a pornographic novel without using any unprintable words.
