“The Romance of Lust” (1873-76)

“The Romance of Lust” (1873-76) is an anonymous erotic novel that has intrigued readers and scholars for over a century. This controversial work defied the strict moral codes of the Victorian era by delving into explicit themes of sexuality and desire. Despite its titillating content, the novel also explores themes of self-discovery and human desire. Its enduring mystery surrounding authorship and its defiance of societal norms make it a significant piece of literary history. “The Romance of Lust” continues to influence the world of erotica and challenges our understanding of literature and human sexuality. “The Romance of Lust” which stars Charlie and his enormous cock! Charlie has sex with both women and men with equal gusto. I think it’s interesting to think about the difference between the way sex is described in the passage below and what we read in Seb’s excerpt from “My Secret Life”: – The Romance of Lust : Volume 1 / Volume 2

“In an instant we were both stark naked. We threw ourselves into one another’s arms and lovingly kissed each other. Our tongues met in a delicious sucking—our hands took each a prick, and we had a most exciting and loving embrace. The doctor then took my prick in his mouth, sucked it a little, and well lubricated it with his saliva, spitting on the lower part of the shaft and rubbing it round with his finger. He then knelt, and presenting a really beautifully rounded bottom of the fairest hue, he pushed it out, showing a light brown corrugated bum-hole, most tempting to look at. He desired me to wet it with my saliva. I stooped and applied my mouth and tongue to the appetising morsel, and thrust my tongue in as far as it would go—to his evident delight, leaving it well moistened. I then brought my prick to the entrance; he shoved his backside well out, and acted as if he desired to void himself. A firm but slow pressure quickly engulphed the knob. The doctor desired me to rest a moment, and drop some spittle on the shaft. Again it was firmly pushed forward, and gradually it won its way up, the belly against the buttocks, without much flinching on the doctor’s part. After resting a while, he desired me to bend forward and feel his cock while I should move backwards and forwards in the sheath until I was relieved. I had a most delicious fuck. The doctor’s bottom-hole was quite hot internally. His pressures with the sphincter were exquisitely delicious, and he had acquired the charming side wriggle so exquisite in quim fucking. Of course this was an old letch of his, which his position as schoolmaster had given him so many opportunities of indulging in, and the still greater pleasure of initiating others in it. At this very moment he was delighted with his delusion about me in that respect. Of course I never undeceived him, and he had all the extra delight of the idea. My younger and hotter passions had made me spend before he could; so after indulging me in a delicious soak after the ecstasy of the discharge, he drew my attention to the rigidity of his own member, which, he said, I must now allow him to allay in turn. “Of course, my dear uncle, I am too sensible of your great kindness in relieving me to hesitate about giving you the same relief.” I now withdrew. He rose for a mutual loving embrace, and then I stooped, and taking his fine milk-white prick with its lovely vermilion knob into my mouth, most deliciously sucked it, making my tongue tickle the entrance to the urethra, to his infinite delight. He murmured out soft terms of endearment; then getting exceedingly lewd, he begged me to kneel down as he had done. He then kissed and gamahuched my bottom-hole, making my prick stand and throb again with delight. Then spitting on his prick he quickly sheathed it in my glowing backside. After pausing to enjoy the exquisite pleasure of complete insertion, he stooped, and passing a hand round my belly laid hold of my stiff-standing prick with one hand, while he gently pressed the ballocks with the other. We then proceeded to active measures. He soon made me spend, which I did with loud cries of delight, giving him the most exquisite pleasure by the pressures the act of spending made me exercise on his pleased prick. He soon resumed his thrusts, and eventually we both spent together in the most ecstatic joy.”

I picked this passage because several times you’ve expressed your revulsion (is that too strong a word?) at the idea of being fucked and at the same time wondered what it would be like to cum inside a man, whether it would feel as delicious as cumming inside a woman. And hovering over both these issues is the question of being naked and fully in contact with a man while having sex with him, how that feels and whether or not it involves a kind of intimacy or even love when the encounter is with an absolute or relative stranger. Does the passage above help us think through these questions? – AJ {The Romance of Lust : Volume 1 / Volume 2]
