The Sleeping Beauty collection by Anne Rice... loaned 'em out and may never see 'em again.
That series would be followed closely by the Shadow Lane collection and The Succulent Oyster.

I read the first of the Sleeping Beauty series. Was interesting and very well written, but too much for poor me. Though that was a while ago and I feel different about some things now.
Shall be looking for the rest of these in the am... or now on the net.

Ditto!
The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, though fiction, taught me a lot about myself and my own submission. It is a wonderful series!

Henry Miller's "Under The Roofs of Paris"
One reason is that given in the promotional blurb:
"In 1941 Henry Miller was commissioned to write this erotic novel detailing the sexual escapades of himself and his Parisian clan for a dollar a page. It was sold to a Los Angeles bookseller a few pages at a time and originally published as Opus Pistorum. Every page of this book is packed with sexual tales of Parisian prostitutes, tramps, teases, tarts, young girls, midgets, dogs, cults, orgies, and countless other debaucheries. This is an unapologetic and utterly pornographic novel."
But the second, and to me more important reason is that some years ago the largest retail bookstore in the UK had the book on their shelves.
I bought a copy before they realised their mistake and hastily withdrew it.
I felt as though I'd got away with something!

Belinda- by Anne Rampling (Anne Rice)
I still cannot get this book out of my head. I have read it so many times I probably have it memorized from sequence to sequence. Anne Rice wrote the book under the pen name Anne Rampling and I fell in love with the book. It is intensely erotic, controversial, well written and done with amazing style and grace. My goal is to some day write a book that fucking good. Unfortunately the book was never very popular but it is still all over bookstores.
In response to reading The Story Of O, I have read it, and while I found it well written and interesting, it just didn't trip my trigger. I found it a bit too clinical. There was a lack of feeling in it for me, but I respect it as a classic. By the way it was Pauline Reage who wrote it though when the book came out it was annonomously written and everyone thought it must have been a man who wrote it.

i've tried to read it several times and just can't get into it.
I've read Belinda about 5 times... but I don't think it's as good as the Sleeping Beauty trilogy.
Re: I have that book!
The two that crack me up are "Two at Once" by Robert Silverberg and "Needless to Say" by Lisa Palac
My faves are "Pure Porn", "Subway Dick", and "Swingers". "Lessons in Submission" is also good even though I'm not much into BDSM.
Which ones caught your fancy?

'Women on Top', Nancy Friday
Amazing eye opener. I read this book in my early 20’s, at a time when I had no concept of the fact women can, and are, every bit as horny and sexually consumed as I am (this was before the internet, folks). ALL of that changed when I got my hands on this book.
It’s basically oodles of women’s sexual fantasies told, or sent, to Nancy Friday (who also wrote ‘My Secret Garden’. Yes, Madonna stole the song title from her). They run the gamut of desires from A to Z. And more importantly, the author goes over the possible psychological reasons behind the fantasies (which I found absolutely fascinating – cuz I’m a sponge like that). All of her comments are from the interest of sexual liberation. She’s not preaching at all (other than to take off your chastity belt). She makes spot-on rational reasoning for a woman’s need for ANY type of sexual desire.
So, for me, the interest was 2 fold. She unveiled what a woman thinks about sexually; how often; how diverse; how extensive; and how deliberate. AND she offered reasons why. (Needles to say I’ve got a boner for HER in a big way because of it. Still searching for a woman of such sexual bravado, creativity, inquiry, and clarity... while still remaining a 'woman').
I would highly recommend that book to men and women alike. For the women - it could open your eyes to the fact it isn’t so wrong, or unusual, to *own* your sexuality. And for the men – it will knock your socks of with knowledge of women, and their sexuality, that you can certainly put to good use.
It absolutely broke open my willingness to initiate… explore…. discover – without apologies or fear.
Critical in my sexual evolution (which is superior *grin*).

I've read both of those. They're very enlightening

just noticed
I just noticed that the thread also says "and why" I have already posted my favorite erotic book,
so perhaps I should tell why.
It's just full of very extreme depictions of sexual violence,
which really raises the old rod...
The film, while it was very good,
Really did not do the book justice.
