This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart, provocative account of the erotic current running just beneath the surface of a stuffy and stifling Victorian London. At the height of the Victorian era, a daring group of artists and thinkers defied the reigning obsession with propriety, testing the boundaries of sexual decorum in their lives and in their work. Dante Gabriel Rossetti exhumed his dead wife to pry his only copy of a manuscript of his poems from her coffin. Legendary explorer Richard Burton wrote how-to manuals on sex positions and livened up the drawing room with stories of eroticism in the Middle East. Algernon Charles Swinburne visited flagellation brothels and wrote pornography amid his poetry. By embracing and exploring the taboo, these iconoclasts produced some of the most captivating art, literature, and ideas of their day. As thought-provoking as it is electric, Pleasure Bound unearths the desires of the men and women who challenged buttoned-up Victorian mores to promote erotic freedom. These bohemians formed two loosely overlapping societies—the Cannibal Club and the Aesthetes—to explore their fascinations with sexual taboo, from homosexuality to the eroticization of death. Known as much for their flamboyant personal lives as for their controversial masterpieces, they created a scandal-provoking counterculture that paved the way for such later figures as Gustav Klimt, Virginia Woolf, and Jean Genet. In this stunning exposé of the Victorian London we thought we knew, Deborah Lutz takes us beyond the eyebrow-raising practices of these sex rebels, revealing how they uncovered troubles that ran beneath the surface of the larger social fabric: the struggle for women’s emancipation, the dissolution of formal religions, and the pressing need for new forms of sexual expression.

She wanted to spit on him, but she knew that she was in no position to become rebellious now. It did occur to her that someday she might have an opportunity to turn the tables on this man, and how much she would enjoy that day.Joseph loved every minute he had punishing this uppity broad. What he really loved was that he had gotten her permission to dominate her. Once again he gripped the flogger. Only this time, he began to use the handle to tease her pussy. He never tried to enter her with it, but ran its hard leather handle through her dripping slit. The swollen flesh was beautiful to him. He watched her face as he continued the tease, but if she were receiving any pleasure she was not showing it to him. He wanted her to react. He pulled the handle away and began to explore the hot wet folds with his fingers. As he found her clit, he began to knead it with his thumb and forefinger, then slid two fingers inside of her. This did elicit a response from her, which made him desire more."So, the filthy slut likes to be finger fucked," he snorted, and continued to push his fingers farther up in her canal. Within seconds she spewed a stream of fluid that ran down her legs. While the achievement of his efforts filled him with confidence and satisfaction, his response to her was one of disgust."Now look at the mess you made, bitch. You should be ashamed of yourself." He drew back and began to flog her again and again. He had become so involved with his punishment that he no longer was being careful with the intensity of his strikes and the size of the welts he was raising on her body. He also had become deaf to the volume and intensity of her cries and screams. Lisette was unable to control the cries and screams wrenched from her by the constant sting of the flogger. Each time the leather tentacles struck her tender flesh, they burned her more than the last. Finally, she bravely shouted at Joseph that he had to stop. He was so shocked by her plea that he held the flogger back, looking at her in disbelief."Did you speak to me, bitch?" he asked incredulously. "Did you forget how you should address me?""Master... please don't stop," She whispered to him.

Download or read book The Politics of Pleasure in Sexuality Education written by Louisa Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pleasure and desire have been important components of the vision for sexuality education for over 20 years. This book argues that there has been a lack of scrutiny over the political motivations that underpin research supportive of pleasure and desire within comprehensive sexuality education. In this volume, key researchers in the field consider how discourses related to pleasure and desire have been taken up internationally. They argue that sexuality education is clearly shaped by specific cultural and political contexts, and examine how these contexts have shaped the development of pleasure’s inclusion in such programs. Via such discussions, this volume incites a re-configuration of thought regarding sexuality education’s approach to pleasure and desire.
