It published some of the great books of the century when no one else would, and in the process helped smash down the last barriers of censorship. . . .”.

The Erotic Book Shop has some interesting reading selections along with some toys & games.

Black Lace Book of Women’s Sexual Fantasies.  The Black Lace brand name is synonymous with quality erotica written by and for women. When the book was originally published in 1999 it was the first collection of British women’s fantasies to appear on the market.  The editor had unique access to the Black Lace readers’ most private opinions and spent a year and half interviewing and corresponding with the contributors.  The results are fascinating and clearly divided into themed sections dealing with the many-faceted nature of female sexuality. With thought-provoking analytical essays before each chapter, the reader can follow the history of modern sexual behaviour and see how popular culture and even fairy stories have influenced our erotic imaginations.

“The Society of Sin” was conceived on a hot and sticky summer’s evening inside a mansion house on a large country estate when, after an opium-fuelled night of passion, Lady P and her close friend Samantha Powerstock succumbed to desires they had both repressed for years. Now, a year later, they have invited a select few to join their exclusive association. But only genuine hedonists need apply; prospective members are interrogated over a sumptuous dinner then given an ‘assignment’ which they must fulfil. Failure to do so results in instant expulsion and the prospect of being ‘named and shamed’ in the exclusive circles they currently frequent. However, successful completion of the task opens for them a Pandora’s box of pain and pleasure.
