Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland
3.0
Well, I can see why this was banned for so long - it's explicit even by our standards. These old-timey depictions of sex can be pretty funny, though.
On the other hand, Fanny is only 15-18 during the events of the book, which can be pretty squicky for the modern reader. I'm going to include a trigger warning for 18th-century human trafficking, rape, attempted rape, and dubious consent. But I was surprised by how well it handled BDSM. There was a discussion of boundaries and concern about consent, which is way more than you can say for 50 Shades of Gray.
I found this vintage paperback edition at a thrift store. It's apparently the first legal publication of Fanny Hill in the United States.
