TWO FLAPPERS IN PARIS

New York: Grove Press, 1986. Half cloth in dust jacket. Very good. 121pp. A classic work of erotic fiction. Set in 1920s France, Two Flappers follows the adventures of two girls on their way to boarding school in Paris. When a suave diplomat treats them to a visit to his favourite brothel, restrained by a bizarre and ingenious piece of furniture, they are introduced to the 'Whipping Room', and the painful pleasures of martinet and birch. Eager to learn, the libidinous trio are instructed, by one of the bordello's most experienced adepts, in every kind of sexual position. "She dropped the birch, took up the martinet and, with gentle and carefully directed strokes, began to whip her between the legs.The velvet-covered thongs, following the deep valley, struck, or rather caressed, the soft treasures which I have described. The effect was really astonishing. Evelyn stiffened the whole of her body in a supreme spasm. With nervous contractions she agitated her thighs and bottom, while a deep sob of pleasure issued from her lips and was repeated again and again. Nora pressed close up to me and I passed my arm round her waist and gently fondled the magnificent rotundities which I was looking forward to being able to admire in a few moments." An erotic classic.
