As promised here are some excerpts from that book on 17th century pornography. The book is titled Unfit For Modest Ears by Roger Thompson. It’s a review and summery of books written in the 17th century. As the title says, this is Unfit For Modest Ears so if your ears and eyes are modest, don’t read the following.
This excerpt talks about Tullia and Octavia which was written around 1680. I’ll be copying from the page.
“Two girls, Tullia, nineteen, married and highly experienced sexually, and her cousin, Octavia, who is only fifteen but about to be married.to Pamphilius”………
“The second Dialogue, ‘Tribadicon’, graduates from mere description into action. Octavia opens the conversation by saying ‘You have often wished to hold me in your arms when your husband Callias was away’. Tullia, who claims that all woman feel some lesbian passions, takes advantage of the opportunity, and excites Octavia by stroking her. As Tullia gets carried away she scratches and pinches her cousin and with ‘Ah! Ah! Ah! I’m dying from pleasure’ has an orgasm while lying on tope of Octavia. In the ensuring calm, she tells Octavia about dildoes. The short third dialogue, ‘Anatomy’, is concerned with the enormous size of Pamphilius’ penis. Tullia explains about male erections and insertion and reassures Octavia, who demands an inspection of Tullia on all fours, and is amazed at her size: a whole man could enter, she says, even one mounted on a horse.” ……….
“…in which Octavia and Pamphilius have got married. ‘Lovemaking’ finds the two girls in bed together naked. Tullia passionately embraces Octavia, and feeling her amorously discovers that her vagina is enormously enlarged. While she stimulates Octavia with her finger she says her whole hand could now go in….”
And the book goes on to describe a few more chapters. Here is a quote from a story called The Wandering Whore about a prostitute named Julietta and a man called Francion.
“Julietta-Come wilt thou do-a-litle, the fitts come on me now. I’ll show you a pair of naked breasts, smooth Buttocks, Lovely and ivory thighes, the best red-lipt C---- in Christendom….
Francion: You would tempt a Saint especially such a one as I am…make my P---- rise with your perfum’d cabinet. I’ll enter its Port with a full spring tyde between thy bums riding safe at Anchor within thy harbour.”……Same story but a horrific tale told by another man.
“He fell to feeling her with freedom in a dark passage; after which she felt him likewise, and, because he was drunk, had much ado to cause an erection, yet did it…holding his P----close by the root she cut it clear and sheer off, leaving his member and the knife together. He took up his P--- and put it in his Fob and went to a Cirugeon to stitch it on, but he just put a quill up the pissing place to keep it open. The gentleman died two days later. The whore was apprehended said that he had given a wench the running of the reins and she returned him for her pains.”
We skip onward to chapter 9 ‘Medical’. A man didn’t have to be shamed if the book was a medical book, lol.
“The diary of John Ward, vicar of Stratford-on-Avon, gives revealing impression of this side of medicine….”
“He was frequently consulted by his parishioners for cures. Some may have been effective; others were hair-raising. One cure for veneral disease in men, for instance, was to sleep as soon and as often as possible with a ‘sound woman.’ Another was protracted galloping on horseback.”….. Another thing from Ward’s diary…
“Dr. Trip cured a woman that has troubled with hysterical fitts this way: he laid her uppon the ground with her face downwards, then took up her coats and gave her three or four slaps on the arse; he did this before much companie.”
And so ends my excerpts from Unfit For Modest Ears. I hope you have enjoyed this educational post what was going on inside the heads of 17th century people. Maybe it will inspire somebody to write about some lovely ladies in that century.
Me - "Quiz time!"
