Two Flappers in Paris

by 'A. Cantab'

While travelling to her finishing school in Paris, Evelyn meets the narrative of this delightful tale. He is a diplomat in his thirties, and during the Channel crossing, he so charms the sixteen-year-old virgin that she is soon calling him Uncle Jack.

They agree to meet in Paris, and together with her inquisitive friend Nora, Evelyn is taken to a temple of delight. In an astonishing bravura display of literary coitus interruptus, we join the girls as Uncle Jack introduces them to a wide variety of sensual pleasures, including a most unusual chair.

As well as the theory of eroticism, three delightful stories are told to them so that they can fully satisfy their natural curiosity about the practicalities.

While crossing the Channel in the early 1900s a young diplomat meets up with a young lady, Evelyn, on board ship and forms such a friendship with her that not only does she begin to call him Uncle Jack but she agrees to meet him from her finishing school once they arrive in Paris.

Being well versed in the sexual world of Paris, the diplomat visits his regular bordello where he consults with Madame R, the owner. With the aid of his favourite girl at the house, Rose, the diplomat arranges a plan to introduce his new-found young lady friend to the pleasures that the house can offer.

He goes to her school to pick her up only to discover that the headmistress insists that another young lady, Nora, accompany them for safety's sake; naturally the young diplomat readily agrees. Arriving at the bordello the first activity is the watching of a film, 'The Devil in Hell' of Boccaccio. This intrigues and excites the two young ladies, who are initially chaperoned by Rose and watched over, so to speak, by Uncle Jack.

From then on Uncle Jack, ably assisted by Rose, schools the young ladies in the ways of love and leads them through many and varied lessons in every conceivable form of sexual pleasure. The young ladies squeal and squirm in their excitement but they eventually recover from their exertions.

It is very definitely not a book for the faint-hearted.

why is this on the greater phoenix area’s digital library’s list of books that are always available? sometimes books should be banned actually

Yet one more in the series from Wordworth Classic Erotica. I really don’t know that this one was written in the early years of this century rather than the end of the last except that the word flapper has a decidedly Jazz age feeling. Yet this novella is much more tame than the others. It’s really just a mild titillation, very mild. While the two virgins are exposed to the sensual pleasures at the end of the book they are still virgins, though there is a clear indication that the author (a definite pseudonym) plans a second book which he planned to call the ‘Maidenhead Club’. Why is it that the mail is another guy named Jack – it appears that was the anonymous nickname for an old-fashioned lecherous stud. He takes two virgins to a brothel to show them the sensual side of life – it is only their total innocence that makes the story work at all, and only just.

Not bad! Uncle Jack adeptly navigates the fine line between a character teetering on the edge of lechery and a genuinely charming older gentleman with a refreshingly unabashed attitude towards sexuality that would seem appropriate only in Paris. Charm wins. Surpasses Fifty Shades.

I always forget how motherfucking BORING most vintage erotica tends to be. Like, maybe there’s a reason everyone just brings up The Sins of the Cities of the Plain and the Romance of Lust to cackle at, because stuff like this is dull as hell.

literally about pedophilia and incest but ok

[Kathy Kramer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Edwardian erotica that was banned when originally written. More than ankles are shown in this story. Very short and can be read in a couple of hours. It reads a lot like mediocre fan fiction (with original characters and steampunkish sex chairs) and by our modern standards, there are aspects of this that are kind of skeevy. That said, it was still better written than 50 Shades of Grey.

Morally ok has two teenage girls get to "see" things without being part of the action.

I've only just remembered that I read this book almost a decade ago. It's probably absolute cobblers, but it did leave an impression that's lasted. Must buy another copy!
