Naturally, as an anthology, you get a mixture of styles. Some steamy and some langsamweilig. One is a direct excerpt from Dracula. One is more a Victorian translation of an Arabian erotic tale (probably not from 1001 nights).

I studied the true Victorian Era for 2+ years and am still intrigued with books relating to the ways of that time. Finally mustering enough nerve to read something provocative, I purchased this book. Lets just say it is exceptionally capable of "stirring" one.

I am very interested in the history of sex. That is one course I'd like to teach after I get my PhD. This book just took me back a little further into sexual history. I was surprised at how old some sexual terms and parts of the body are. I was also surprised with certain actions the characters performed. Today, many of these sexual acts are fully accepted. However, I would have figured the Victorians would have been uptight even in sex. A major misconception.

Finally I'm finding out one poem is even older than I thought. "This is my pistol, this is my gun. This one's for fighting, this one's for fun." I'm trying to find erotica and sexual information even older now. It'll be funny to see just how old that poem might be.

If you want real erotica instead of the so-called erotica of today, then this is the book for you. Steamy, steamy, steamy!

I just couldn't stop reading this book, by the more I read I discovered more secret wishes in my soal, you just gotta love it.

Stories are well written by known authors. Many people might love this book. I am not one of them, however.
