The Romance of Lust
Adults only. This is the naughtiest Victorian book I’ve yet read. It surpasses (by far) that risqué porn magazine, "The Pearl."
Englishman Charles Roberts had intercourse with 24 people over his lifetime (17 women, 7 men), all detailed in this novel.
Differing from the usual Victorian theme of spanking, "Romance"’s main weapon of shock is family love. Indeed, one needs to be fairly open minded to read this.
Highlights of what goes on include incest, bisexuality (by both genders), double penetration, fellatio, cunnilingus, anal sex, orgies, rape, swinging and (this is a Victorian work) spanking.
"Romance" has been criticized for a lack of emotional interaction between the characters. While there is some, there isn’t much time for it amidst the constant, unremitting quest for sex over nearly 400 pages (in manuscript) of pursuit and tanglings. Subtlety is not a major agenda item here.
The utter illegality of many of the acts (still today, 135 years later) and the sheer craziness is reminiscent of the Marquis de Sade. Charles and his compatriots, however, never stress the pain as the Marquis does.
The present version contains 112 annotations from 2011, often translating French words, and 7 modern illustrations.
As “in your face” today as when it was written, "Romance of Lust" is an explicit, unremitting exploration of doing the deed. Have fun with the fantasy!
