Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

Old timey porn. Thought it'd be right up my alley but there was a lot of shit about "Barons" with boners who try to surreptitiously rub them against unwitting kids. Or young boys in priest school humping their most ladylike classmate without clear permission. I guess since it's written by a lady we're meant to let it slide and file it under art. All women in this tiring collection of short stories have a pulsating, blooming, honey-oozing "sex". Like lots of juices. And quaint BJ descriptions. That was cool I guess. The 40s were different times I guess. They get theirs and I suppose that's empowering. Normally I like horny shit but this was just like reading flowery, steampunk Penthouse letters. Fun for a bit but hard to read as a book. Pull it out during your next salon in your parlor and remind your guests after they get offended that it was written by a female! They will blush at their small minded bigotry! High-fellatin'!
