Sex/Erotica

There was an open magazine spread across my lap, but I wasn't doing much reading. Or even looking at the pictures, the ads and such. Instead, somehow, I found myself sneaking sidelong glances at the muscular maidservant going about her duties. Zona. Such a big woman! Not a butchy type exactly, but with that build of hers she could have been a lady wrestler. She looked more like a professional masseuse than a maid, one of those aging Scandinavian athletes, the kind who seem to specialize in pounding the blubber off bare bottoms in high-class beauty salons. It made me wonder if her mistress - my old friend but still-absent hostess - had put on some weight since our last get-together. I sure hoped not. That beautiful body, fat?

Though the topics and themes are much the same as American erotica, the British use of English adds a luster to the stories, missing from the vulgar used in America. At last a book which answers the complaint that erotic books "are all alike." A unique contribution in that its literary qualities are of the first order, while its material and the stark truthfulness of its presentation, is beyond any book of its kind now available. It is definitely a cut above most erotica pulp fiction in literary value.

Pedophilia - the sexual interest of an adult in a child, usually at the time of puberty and prior to full adolescence - appears to be a steadily increasing behavioristic phenomenon and for a variety of reasons. Essentially, the juvenile's acceptance of eroticism and the role of the submissive partner to the adult is based on instinctive trust of authority, which explains why we find so many examples of father and daughter, mother and son sexual relationships. The child, awakened to sensuality by the initiatory attention of the adult, is concerned with the mysterious and exciting new sensations which most often are the first such cogent awareness of sexuality which he or she experiences. The question of ethics or morality, of course, is rarely present in the juvenile's mind, since he or she is reasoning that if adult authority encourages such conduct, it must naturally be right.

This history is one of the most exhaustive and most unusual of a 'forbidden' subject. While some of the author's views are tainted (biased) by his religious views, the history from ancient time and the world over is admirable of such a subject. Arguments are unnecessary to prove the existence of prostitution. "When its extent, its causes, or its effects are questioned, a remarkable degree of ignorance or carelessness is manifested. Few care to know the secret springs from which prostitution emanates; few are anxious to know how wide the stream extends; few have any desire to know the devastation it causes."
