"In their confessions, our beautiful horizontales relate simply, and in every detail the adventures which led their first steps to what we may, in caesarian language call "The Passing of the Rubicon"." With Lord Halifax absent their palatial abode, his lover and courtesan Diane de Bl#65533;dor plays host to six of her good friends and confidants for an evening of revelry. It is soon suggested that the ensemble reveal in utmost unexpurgated detail the manner in which each lost their virginities. From lesbian awakenings replete with vigorous tribadism and gamahuching, to the unexpected group m#65533;nage scene in which another laid bare for a quartet of randy young gentlemen after one too many a tipple. From overly familiar bosses, to lascivious lectures, all manner of deed and device is exposed in gloriously graphic detail. But what will happen when one of the group alludes to a liaison dangerous with Lord Halifax? And will blood be shed at the point of a sword? All told amidst the Anglo-Saxon predisposition towards the birch and whip, every libidinous taste is herein catered for. Anonymously written and originally published in 1899 by the infamous Victorian erotic publisher Charles Carrington, this compilation of lascivious recollections makes a fine addition to any shelf given over to the once-suppressed.
