Naughty Books
Fred Flintstone would have needed big fingers to flick through the earliest books, let alone Naughty Books! Clay tablets formed the first tomes and, needless to say, they weren’t exactly Tolstoy’s War and Peace in length. Thankfully, those clever, forward-thinking Egyptians realised our tender digits were required for more important tasks and discovered the much lighter papyrus.
It’s 3,500 BC and Vishnu’s incarnation Krishna is busy wooing the ladies. Without naughtybitsandbobs.com’s superb selection of Naughty Books (at huge savings on shop prices, incidentally!) or any erotic literature to aid his seduction, the young cad had to make do with his … erm … flute to get his intended in the mood for love.
Krishna’s popularity soon spread to India and a couple of thousand years later the locals had no need for a musical instrument to arouse their partners: they had the Kama Sutra -even today widely viewed as the ultimate Naughty Book! This sex manual was written in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, detailed 64 positions for sexual intercourse, and explored sexual pleasure as a religious quest! Explorer Sir Richard F. Burton stumbled upon the popular book in 1876 and translated it into English. The adventurer said on his return home: “We British never knew of this kind of love-making. Had we known, we would not have ruined the lives of so many British virgins.” Quite, Sir Richard!
The world’s most famous Naughty Book was by no means the first: that honour falls to the Chinese some 500 years earlier. The Romans also pre-dated Indian Erotica with The Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love), poet Ovid’s three-book series written in verse where the theme is the art of seduction. The first two, written for men around 1 BC to AD 1, deal with winning women's hearts and 'keeping the loved one'. The third and last book advised women how to attract men.
Nowadays, attitudes towards sex have changed beyond recognition. D. H. Lawrence’s notorious Naughty Book Lady Chatterley’s Lover took almost three decades to become uncensored after being published in 1929; the graphically illustrated The Joy of Sex was lambasted by all and sundry in 1972 - although to be fair the hairstyles were pretty shocking - and Madonna’s Sex was pilloried twenty years later.
