AS soon as I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of the Count of Monte Christo.
Lord of the Flies could be one that could become interesting. I dont' know how much interest there would be at lit, but begin with 18 year old young men on an island. Let the sex pervade the story.
The Scarlett Letter is a given.
Madame Bovary? There are lots of scenes and places tht culd be enhanced or modified to make a good erotic tale.
OF course, I havn't had my morning coffee yet and my brain is too fuzzy to identify these scenes.

Back to the fairey tails for just one moment, though. Yesterday I was at Boarders checking out their erotica section and I found a book that had *all* of the *main* fairey tails in it (including the infamous Sleeping Beauty). Some of the stories were a bit hoaky, but it was interesting reading another author's take on them.

Famous Lit: Jane Eyre is incredibly sexy (if you know the coded lang of the day, and I do) almost to the point of pornography at times. I'm sure it could be made explicit.
After all it has everything, class (jane servant to rochesters aristocrat), illicit sex (rochesters "ward" aka daughter by a dancer/actress type), interracial sex (rochesters first wife bertha is part black), and all sorts of interesting themes running around there.

A Connecticut Slut In King Authur's Court? Mothering Heights? Heh heh.
Actually, I always thought "Of Mice And Men" had possiblities for an erotic re-telling. Curley's wife (was she ever called anything else?) was forever on the prowl. George, that hard-working laborer, was always a little too ruffled by her for it to be passed off merely as worry over poor Lennie getting into trouble again. The sexual tension was obvious, and I think these two contrasting characters were the easily most interesting of all.
Of course, there was also Curley himself, who blatantly wore one glove on his right hand so he could "keep it soft" for his wife. Lennie's scene with Curley's wife, in the barn, has nonconsent written all over it.
But kindly leave the "rabbits" thing in Steinbeck's book. It was depressing enough the first time!

Sherry and Doony and a cast of thousands
I'd love to read an explicit version of The Thousand and One Nights of Sheherazade.
The first part of John Barth's Chimera is a almost explicit sample, but a good reworking of the whole collection of stories would be great.

Hi Tatewaki!
I am glad that you like my idea about the classics. But I mean a this thing - just to take a short idea ( like this from the Count Monte Christo) and to develop it into a bigger story. The Mopassan's stories are the best, i think. How about you?
