All right Literotica guys and gals, look what a real porn story writer got for his work! I am envious as hell. Comment?
1ST PORN'S A BE$T SELLER
December 17, 2004 -- LONDON — The world's first known piece of printed pornography, described as the "quintessence of debauchery," has been sold for $89,000, well above expectations, Sotheby's auction house said yesterday.
"Sodom," penned in the mid-1670s and sold to an anonymous buyer, has been attributed to John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester. It was described by Sotheby's as having pornography "in almost every line."
"It is one of the most notorious publications in literature and makes most pornography written 300 years later seem tame," said Peter Beal, Sotheby's book specialist. Reuters
