Douglas Carlton Abrams Books

An editor receives a manuscript purporting to be the lost diary of history's greatest lover, Don Juan. An orphan left on the steps of a covent, Don Juan grew up within the church but his ambitions towards the priesthood fell to the wayside when he was seduced by a young nun. Evicted from the convent, he was taken under the wing of the libertine Don Pedro, the Marquis of Mota, who coached him in skills both courtly and amorous and then employed him as a spy at court. So began a life devoted to giving and receiving pleasure. But Abrams' Don Juan is no playboy; instead Don Juan's mastery of the arts of passion liberates the women he beds. Through his connections with Don Pedro, he is made an 'hidalgo', an honorary nobleman, and is therefore protected from the wrath of the Inquisition by the King, but his position is precarious. Then Don Juan embarks on the most perilous adventure of all - he falls in love, and finds that not only his reputation but also his life is in danger.

"The Multi-Orgasmic Couple" is an intimate, and not humourless, book for all couples who want to expand their lovemaking for greater physical pleasure and emotional fulfillment. Based on the Taoist approach, it reveals how couples can achieve numerous sexual peaks together and cultivate a long-term smouldering passion. The book is illustrated throughout - with soft and appealing rather than "medical" images. The guide include: the pool of pleasure - women's desire, any woman can increase her pleasure by learning to circulate sexual energy and make the whole body orgasmic; fireworks - multiple orgasms for men; pleasuring each other - discovering the deep harmony between male and female; and "before you call the sex therapist" - a healthy approach to problems with sex.

Set against a backdrop of discovery and decadence, the story follows Juan Tenorio, abandoned as a baby and raised by nuns. Initially aspiring to be a priest, his life takes a turn when he falls in love with a sister, leading to his departure from the Church. Recruited by the Marquis de la Mota, Juan transforms into a notorious libertine and seducer. However, his life spirals into danger as he clashes with the Empire's most powerful figure and faces the wrath of the Inquisitor, who seeks to eradicate immorality and heresy.
