Incest Erotica: The Romance of Lust by Anon
About The Book:
Authorship of this salacious literary classic has been attributed to either of two men: William Simpson Potter, author of two books of letters on the Prince of Wales, or Edward Sellon, who produced other erotic novels. The protagonist of “The Romance of Lust”, Charlie Roberts, exudes an insatiable sexual appetite, to which he was initiated by early sexual encounters with siblings, governesses, and later with various friends. It was originally published in four volumes during the years 1873-1876. Due to the explicit nature of the language and nature of the novel, which often describes in graphic detail quite unrealistic sexual positions and scenarios, it was banned in the United States for some time. Scenes of various sexual activities shock even today’s readers in what has become known as the quintessential erotic Victorian novel, earning the virile young Charlie Roberts the designation of hero of the Victorian sexual underground.
If you want filthy erotica that includes incest between brothers and sisters, cousins, etc, then the Victorians are really the place to look. These stories would be removed from Amazon in a second if written by a contemporary, but as it is, they don’t seem to care.
Like many similar books, there are characters of varying ages (from teenagers to the elderly) and of all sorts of body types as well. There is a sometimes beautiful and sometimes disturbing love of sex that feels all encompassing and pointed in every direction at once. Maybe it’s that quality of desire or philosophy that says everyone is an object of want that is both compelling to us now and upsetting. All that aside, there is a ton of sex in this filthy little book.
If you’re a fan of victorian smut, then you don’t want to miss this one.
