Since there is a lot of hoopla over "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "The story of O" has anyone read "The way of a man with a maid?" written circa 1908.
If so what are you thoughts on it.
I read this book about eight years ago and I still have it in my personal library. I just looked it up on Wiki and they keep repeating the word and a torture chamber. If I recall, Jack persuades his girls to have sex with him, even though they at first protest they generally relax and let Jack have his way.
First time I read it I was surprised to see an anal scene when Jack trys to calm either Alice or Fanny by saying "It's okay, you have had larger things come out of there."
Really liked "O" when I read it, led to many Os. Persuasion is great, is not
I believe Jack persuade his lady Alice and from then on Alice persuades her maid Fanny and so on and so forth.
I have also just downloaded it and will comment when I'm done. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I loved The Story of O.

I've just read a little bit on Amazon and I think I'll be investing in my very own copy so that I can give it as much time as I need to and really get into it. It seems very interesting.
I read this book many, many years ago. It was one of my first encounters with erotica. It's dark, twisted, kinky. And I've never forgotten it.
I finished this book and I have to say as a whole the book is not something I would recommend to others. I am not into certain parts of this book to which cannot be discussed. For the time period it was written and the over all story of how Jack was able to bring certain things out in each woman he "persuaded" to see things his way was very interesting to me. Much more reluctance then anything else except for his conquest over Molly. I can now say I've read it, but it is not something I would read again.
Like much else in Victorian porn, and others long before (see Casanova; Saml. Pepys diary, Tom Jones, etc.), the main concept was a man's sexual conquests. Yeah, yeah, you were all major studs, blah blah. Lik compilations of porn video scenes, it gets tedious and boring after a few episodes if that's all there is to it. "Then I had his wife, then I had two sisters, then I had a nun, then I cuckolded an old man, then I.." Yadda, yadda. Just how exciting can it be that Prince Charming carouses among the serving wenches and can have his "pick" of any of them? The same is true of Jack and his maids.
I have read this book a while ago and remember people it not only contains Bondage and Dominance but also S & M so I would caution read at your own risk
