Years ago, there was at least one thread in one of the lists of the Erotic Readers & writers Ass'n on Victorian sex words such as "gamahuche" (or "gamahouche," which looks French to me), "quim" and "frig" (not a synonym for fuck - frigging is done with fingers -- and "figging" is a whole other activity, not done with figs). We could have a Victorian topic theme here.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-66276173407054024952013-03-29T14:21:21.522-04:002013-03-29T14:21:21.522-04:00it sounds like a ripe & juicy fruit. kinda lik...it sounds like a ripe & juicy fruit. kinda like quince...which might have actually been the apple that was referred to in the Song of Songs...or maybe the quim was the real apple. or the pomegranate...Amanda Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059621442042833693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-29401925998141072222013-03-29T11:43:52.817-04:002013-03-29T11:43:52.817-04:00I've always been partial to quim myself!

Like ERWA homies, so to speak. <br /> You mention a particular brand of wankable fantasy the gets the juices flowin'. Like anything by N.T. Morley, for instance. I can never get past a few pages of that dude. I know he also writes under a different pseudonym, but I won't mention it here. I also remember those Victorian (or pseudo-vic) deals like Man With A Maid, Autobiography of a Flea. Amazing what they got away with re: the age things. Of course it was all illegal back then, but I'm sure at least some of them were written in more modern times.<br /><br />Good to see you here, Amanda- Good to see I won't be the filthiest writer here after all. :>)<br /><br />Be well-<br />Daddy X<br /><br />Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19987148584407146692013-03-28T09:53:51.112-04:002013-03-28T09:53:51.112-04:00I learned a new word today: gamahuche. ot sure h...I learned a new word today: gamahuche. ot sure how useful I'll find it in everyday convesation though.<br /><br />I read about 10 books a week in just about every genre. I also listen to audio books in the car and at work. J.D. Robb's books on audio are my favorite because the narrator does the greatest voices especially Roarke (and she's a woman) and Peabody.

However, I think, given your predilections as outlined here, you might find IN TOO DEEP a bit tame. <br /><br />One of her best books that has a definite transgressive feel, as well as great, unconventional characters, is ENTERTAINING MR. STONE.
