My Secret Life, Volumes II

This was a fantastic book. Not for the sexual explicity but because it was a snapshot of a man's thoughts from the Victorean era of England. Though sexuality is the book's focus, I found far more insight to a person of a different era. Walter focuses so much time on sex, he doesn't realize he is giving us a picture of himself, his emotions, and the values of the period. The problems we face in today's world were all faced by those before us, this book is a pure illustration of that. If I didn't know this book was written in the nineteenth century I would have never guessed it other than the out-dated slang. This is an honest accounting of a person's thoughts from a different time.

Some first rate sex scenes in this, which is all the scenes that are in the whole thing. My girl friend Rosey Palm and I spent many hours reading this book when I was 15. Highly recommended to those who like a bit of overtly bawdy literature in their lives. (You might even learn a few things from this book, as I did). And it's all true!

Walter, thought to be a nobleman or at least a wealthy businessman has an insatiable appetite for women. He has his way with any and all - he pays for his pleasure and he jusy takes it as he pleases! An excellent picture of Victoria's London and his varied names for the male and female sexual anatomy will no doubt cause some raised eyebrows - but they are true to life. Excellent.
