I got this at Darlington book fair on 11th May got few funny looks , why it is not disgusting it is art everybody has a naked body .
Yes it does have lot of sexual art but we all have sex it is how life exists we soon vanish if we didn't but it is The English are nation of professional old women !
From early Indian erotic pots to Rembrandt to Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec to Dali to erotic movies of silent artists to Futz a naughty film , of naked female riding a pig.
Elvis Presley is even in the book you would say was porn would you.But this more the sort of book that is interested in the history of eroticism or a collector .It is right book for student doing history of erotica .
At end of day I am sorry if the stall holder & her friends had think I was pervert & woman even walked away muttering disgusting ,but she sold the book . If was not for books like this the world would be blood boring .
After all who does not enjoy sex if say no you are lier or crazy we all procreate it is just the ride we take that spices life.
As song says " Make love not War"😍😈

I read it when I was a teen, got me thinking about difference between art and porn and exposed me to knowing both can be good or bad depending on your perspective and how you wish to adopt it in your life. I love it because it also promotes freedom of expression
