THE FERFUCKINGMATA

― pr00de, where's my car? (pr00de), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

Fanny Hill is rather quaintly amusing.

― Aimless (Aimless), Friday, 16 September 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Gravity's Rainbow is packed to the gills with sex scenes. I can't say yet that it's a favorite though.

― Jaq (Jaq), Friday, 16 September 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha I was actually thinking about The Fermata when I started this thread. So dirty!

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

I also have Fanny Hill on my bookshelf but have not read it.

Plateforme - Houellebecq

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

"The Mad Man".

Well, perhaps not really. Nor "Hogg". I haven't read, what's it called, "Equinox" yet.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 16 September 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Platform is L'etranger crossed with Penthouse Letters.

― Ray (Ray), Friday, 16 September 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

I've just started his latest and it looks like it might be similarly saucy.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 16 September 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

Pretty much every sex scene I've read has been stupid.

Most memorable: Endless Love where they meet up in the hotel and the girl takes out her tampon and puts it UNDER THE BED??? EWWWW

and the two wake up the next day covered in blood.

That Scarlet and the Whatsit whose premise was OMG Victorians having DIRTY SEX!!!! was bad bad bad

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 16 September 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

the messed up chick who surreptiously eats some fugu poison before fucking the narrator in The Havana Room

WTF???

(this man bought my grandma's house!)

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 16 September 2005 22:08 (twenty years ago)

I read Wifey the other day. It's pretty dirty, but it's funny because most of the sex is supposed to be lousy sex.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 16 September 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

American Psycho and Glamorama. The threesome in Glamorama's even better than the 3some in ver Fermata.

― I Oppose All Rock and Roll (noodle vague), Saturday, 17 September 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

The awfulness of Crimson Petal seconded. Especially the way the main male character kept saying "cockstand". NOT SEXY.

one month passes...

Under the Roofs Of Paris by Henry Miller.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

I can't claim to be an expert on filth, but do have a soft spot for Georges Bataille.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 08:41 (twenty years ago)

just when I decided all taboos had been violated and the shock of the new was old hat I read Dennis Cooper's Try. It stakes out new filth territory and not in a pleasurable way either. Affecting even devastating but totally gross.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

can I say ulysses?

― Fred (Fred), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

Hogg. Why did I not think of fucking Hogg before?

― the pr00de abides (pr00de), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Hogg, baby. Hogg.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

I used to be a Delany completist, but I skimmed through Hogg in a Borders one day and couldn't bring myself to buy it. (And I've got The Mad Man and Equinox, which aren't that much less extreme.) That sort of broke the Delany spell with me... I still haven't gotten Atlantis: Three Tales yet, and have sort of stopped looking for his more obscure nonfiction. So yeah, Hogg is the top of the heap as far as I know.

― William Paper Scissors (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 19 October 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Hogg is certainly filthier than The Mad Man, although Hogg is more blood and TMM is more raunch. I have never even seen a copy of Equinox.

Heavenly Breakfast, on the other hand, is only a little filthy, as is 1984.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 20 October 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Equinox ive seen, at about 400 candian. Hogg i havent (& want to)

― anthony, Thursday, 20 October 2005 11:51 (twenty years ago)

Equinox ive seen, at about 400 candian.

Jesus H! There are 10 copies for sale at Amazon, top price US$ 52.50.

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

I still sometimes see Hogg new in shops, selling for its cover price.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

The Surrender by Toni Bentley is obviously full of sex, but it's surprisingly unfilthy for a paean to sodomy. Not that it's unsexy, but it's not written to arouse, exactly. It's more ruminative. Even evangelical.
