Product Information

French-born Brigitte began her adult career in the mid-1970s, appearing in a large catalogue of well-produced European erotic movies – reasonable budgets, convincing sets/costumes/props, and halfway decent actors made many of these into “real” movies that just happened to portray lots of sex. In our (biased) opinions, these generally blow any contemporary porn out of the water both in quality and eroticism, but that's a topic for another place ;) Anaïs Nin was largely ignored until the 1960s.

(from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, vol. I, 1966) Anaïs Nin excites male readers and incites female readers ... and she comes against life with a vital artistry and boldness' becomes a mechanistic obsession. It becomes a bore. You have taught us more than anyone I know how wrong it is not to mix it with emotion, hunger, desire, lust, whims, caprices, personal ties, deeper relationships that change its color, flavor, rhythms, intensities.

She got up and brought a long mirror towards the window. She stood it on the floor against a chair. Then she sat down in front of it on the rug and, facing it, slowly opened her legs. The sight was enchanting. The skin was flawless, the vulva, roseate and full. She thought it was like the gum plant leaf with its secret milk that the pressure of the finger could bring out, the odorous moisture that came like the moisture of the sea shells. So was Venus born of the sea with this little kernel of salty honey in her, which only caresses could bring out of the hidden recesses of her body.” The most haunting woman is the one we cannot find in the crowded café when we are looking for her, the one that we must hunt for, and seek out through the disguises of her stories.” French-born novelist, passionate eroticist and short story writer, who gained international fame with her journals.

[6] Although at times she scorned her erotica, and feared for their impact on her literary reputation, [7] they have subsequently been seen by sex-positive feminists as pioneering work. [8] Short stories [ edit ] You do not know what you are missing by your micro-scopic examination of sexual activity to the exclusion of aspects which are the fuel that ignites it. Intellectual, imaginative, romantic, emotional. This is what gives sex its surprising textures, its subtle transformations, its aphrodisiac elements. You are shrinking your world of sensations. You are withering it, starving it, draining its blood. Noël Riley Fitch, Anaïs: The Erotic Life of Anaïs Nin (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1993) ISBN 0-316-28428-9Delta of Venus Summary".
