Sobre este áudio
This book is intened for adults only, as it contains explicit descriptions of sexual activities and uses "bawdy" language.
My Grandmother's Tale first appeared as a serialized novelette in several issues of The Pearl, an underground magazine of erotica that appeared during the Victorian age. The Victorian age was one of sexual repression, were sex was frowned upon for anything but bearing children and even then, it was to be enjoyed, "as little as possible".
Of course, repression always leads to pushback, and that's evident in the many erotic books and magazines that appeared during this era. They were wildly popular, of course, even though often written anonymously for fear of reprisal.
One big difference in Victorian erotic writing, compared to such writing today, is that the characters are often lighthearted and guilt free. There is no angst, no qualms of conscience, no regret, and no jealousy. The people in the story are absolutely free of inhibitions and see no problem with that. In fact, they think it's wonderful! They love sex, in all its variety and often with as many partners as possible. This, of course, was the absolute antithesis of official Victorian society, which tried to portray itself as upright, strict, and full of virtue. That was, no doubt, the point. The stories are not meant to be realistic. They are meant to be stimulating and unrestrained. The authors are basically thumbing their noses at Victorian repression by writing scenarios that show what the the opposite of sexual repression would look like.
In this story, a grandmother, May, reflects on her sexual awaking at a young age, and details her many sexual trysts over the years, in explicit and often humorous descriptions. She then has some of her friends relate their experiences.
