      The Erotic Education of a Victorian Gentleman

      From the back cover of the 1983 Carroll & Graf edition: This memoir was originally privately printed in England in 1934 and is a book "wherein a late member of the House of Lords has given a true history of his erotic life." Our anonymous author is introduced to the delights of desire at a tender age. The experience is so tantalizing that he decides then and there to commit himself to a sensual expedition that will last the rest of his life. Being a gentleman of some wealth and privilege, his opportunities to explore the mysteries of sex are unlimited. As he passes from youth to young manhood, he progresses from the charm of school girls to the enticements of older women, especially those of the mothers and wives of his acquaintances. As an adult, he moves beyond the more common pleasures to be found in the brothels of London to the sophisticated entertainments available only in Paris. On his way, he encounters a series of beautiful and memorable female partners until, at last, he can rightly consider himself a true lord among libertines.
