It is difficult that, in these times, someone is amazed to see a woman read a good billet of Megan Maxwell in the subway. Suggestive titles that don't seem to collide with the feminist phenomenon, like Ask me what you want, and I'll give it to you ; Hey, brunette, what are you looking at? I don't ask for that much either . It is difficult that in these times someone is not astonished to see a person read in the subway because, you know, they say that people do not usually read.
Maxwell's books, on the other hand, enjoy numerous followers. The erotic genre, in general, has experienced a boom in the last decade by virtue of several phenomena: the aforementioned feminism, the immersion in the social conversation of social practices before taboo, such as BDSM, and a kind of open-mindedness that coincided in time with the exhibitionism of social networks.
Erotic reading, however, has historically been a solitary game and, if anything, one of the great treasures of those couples that converge physically and intellectually. Lying on a Saturday afternoon on the couch with a good book can be the best part of the weekend and not only if Maxwell accompanies us. Here a small compendium of classic erotic readings that move away from polyamory and go, in many cases, much further than the long shadow of Gray.
'History of O'
Written according to the legend for pure fun, it is the work of a French intellectual, Anne Desclós , back in the 50s of the last century with the pseudonym of Pauline Réage. Desclós produced a much heavier sadomasochistic story than The 50 Shades of Gray . So long that it took to admit that it came from his hand. At the end of his days, he confessed that he had written it with the intention of seducing the French novelist Jean Paulhan as well.
Or is the name of the protagonist, a Parisian woman who enters with her lover, married, of course, in the ins and outs of the purest BDSM underworld, the one who also tried to show Stanley Kubrick in Eyes Wide Shut : shackles, corridors, masked men, suspense, fear and pleasure in the extremes. Later, they made a film that bears the same name, but in these lines the erotic that lacks image and sound is extolled.
'The Venus of the skins'
On the same wavelength, or similar, is what is surely the best-known novel by the Austrian writer Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch , from which the term masochism or taste for pain comes from. It is also one of the most recreated or versioned literary works of the twentieth century, taking to the cinema countless times, the last by Roman Polanski in 2013. It became a graphic novel with the Italian Guido Crepax and is even mentioned in songs of The Velvet Underground
The protagonist is Severin, the author's alter ego, who likes to experience pain and humiliation. The story of a Venus dressed in skins inspires the character to also tell him his most intimate passions, how he becomes a slave to a woman, Wanda von Dunajew , and how they progressively pervert each other. "Pain has a strange charm for me, and nothing ignites my passion more than the tyranny, cruelty, and above all the infidelity of a beautiful woman," says Severin.
'The eleven thousand cocks'
Exaggeratedly procaz, with dialogues that today would seem impossible, until very recently the full text of the novel The eleven thousand cocks , by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire , could be read on Wikipedia. Short book and at the same time huge in which I want, sex and death intermingle with a very clear objective: scandalize. They say that they also parody the stories of another historical pervert: the Marquis de Sade.
A scandal in itself is also Mony Vibescu, the Romanian master protagonist of the story. Between grotesque and fascinating, Vibescu lives his time with intensity. In transit through the Europe of the first years of the twentieth century. It leaves Bucharest and arrives in Paris and, from there, continues to Port Arthur, now China and in 1904 Russian colonial zone. He is accompanied by Culculine d'Ancône, a prostitute.
"Let me point out that this is not serious," Louis Aragon prologized. And it is not, in effect. The book was restricted to a small Parisian circle, although it is believed that in fact all Paris spoke of him. The great surrealists, Breton, Eluard, and Aragon himself considered Apollinaire an advance.
'The ages of Lulu'
What would an erotic novel by Almudena Grandes be written in 2020? Would there be Tinder matches and some polyamory? While we wait for the advent of his pen, it is good to reread or discover a novel that also brought cinema to 1990 in Bigas Luna, finishing creating the legend with María Barranco and Javier Bardem as protagonists.
The story is in the title: Lulu is 15 years old when the novel begins and this is, after all, his vital trajectory, his sexual growth similar to that of his person or personality. In the memory of many women who are around 40 today, even if they deny it, the passage in which his brother's friend decides one day to shave the vulva of Lulu is well present.
