following on from the sexist pig book thread....your most erotic read experiences...

[Heathcliffscathy]

you know, the books that shaped your young sexuality (for better or worse).

mine are TERRIBLE MURIEL.

princess daisy. j m auel. my sweet audrina (by the awful virginia andrews). lucky by jackie collins.

porn by any other name.

I dimly remember reading a book called Merlin, in my 13 year old innocence thinking it would be a rolicking read about King Arthur and his Knights. Instead I got nuns frigging themslelves with candles . My sexuality was well and truly awakened...........

Certainly WASN'T Forever by Judy Blume ;-) Do you remember the guy had named his knob 'Ralph' that still makes me ROFL now

NO! liath that sounds like a rude awakening.

i've just remember bloody dennis wheatley the hellfire club. through a bit of ritualised satanism in there then. god my mum had some terrible stuff.

judy blume. you know there was i think maybe one paragraph in that that did the trick. ralph indeed.

When I was a young teen, my dad would not let me read 'Lace' because he had heard about the goldfish bit! Needless to say, I DID read it

It was bloody rude, sophable!

lace!@!! of course!!! lace!

goldfish and all.

i meant throw obviously below. not through.

i'm so unbelievably sad that reading my mum's kayes catalogue underwear section used to produce a frisson of sorts.

Ooh, and the scenes in 'The Thorn Birds'. I remember looking up 'flaccid' in the dictionary because oif that book (although that was obviously not during a sex scene!)

these novels are the girl equiv of porn mags aren't they?

it is a playboy whose speciality is to insert a live goldfish into his lady loves fanjo and then suck it out. as a form of pleasurable foreplay. obviously.

pmsl

yeah but who doesn't. i mean the forbidden. and also that fantastic scene in the name of the rose which was just stupendous and only slightly marred by christian slater's unfortunate tonsure.

erm. judith krantz. i think. or is it shirly conran?

ROFL

I saw a case once. Piscatorius vaginitis.

It was tragic. The goldfish didn't make it .

nancy friday, secret garden. That one was passed around A LOT

I also remember flipping through Dennis Wheatley, also Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn (dire but did kindle things.)

Oh, and something where a black girl (think she was a drug dealer's whatever) has sex with a cop in front of his mate and makes him put a bag over his head as he's ugly.

My mum was such an uptight Catholic as well.

nancy friday was later. i bought that i think

I loved Maia by Richard Adams when I was a teenager. Not especially erotic but lots of naughty stuff!

I used to stay with my grandma at the weekends as an early teen in mid 70's (finally twigged not so long ago to be a bit about that, although I expect my parents were just getting quietly sozzled not swapping car keys with the neighbours).

Anyway

DGM read thrillers of all sorts voraciously and I read all of her books and I do remember being quite "puzzled" but "oddly delighted" by some of the scenes.

Not sure what I'd confess to reading now but it sure wouldn't be Irvine Welsh. That bedroom secrets of the masterchefs book is enough to put you off your stroke for life.
