Getting Wet with a Victorian Lady

This book is really not set in a girls boarding school, but rather recounts the sexual awakening and adventures of a young Opera Diva in the late Victorian period. After witnessing a young couple and later her own parents making love, the girl begins her voyage of sexual discovery with several partners including her governess. She also develops a fetish for going into water fully clothed, getting an erotic thrill from the experence and indulges in the practice several times in the book, most notably at a raucous party at a country estate where the guests take the plunge dressed in their sleepwear. In between the aquatic antics, the Diva also engages in sometimes bizzare sexual activities with persons of both sexes. Being a big fan of women in wet clothing, I would have like to seen more scenes of the heroine taking a dip in her clothes, and maybe a mass all female orgy in a pool or lake told in detail, but I still found this to be an entertaining and stimulating book.

A delicious tale .....

A Classic of Victorian Erotica

Anyone who is a fan of classic Victorian Erotica should have a copy of this book in their library! It tells the first person tale of a young woman's voyage of sexual discovery after witnessing a newly married couple making love in the gardens of the heroines family estate. The heroine has many sexual adventures through the book with members of both sexes starting with her Governess, and discovers that going into water fully clothed produces a sexual arousal. Written in the mid 1890's the book is rather explicit, even by today's standards, describing many of the heroine's sexual encounters in great detail. This is one book that shows that our Great Granddads and Grandma's were not as prim and proper as we were lead to believe!
