1. I only looked at the pictures

since I was cognitively challenged.

[azurnoir]

2. does Myra Breckenridge count?

I was about 10 or 11 oh and Moll Flanders around the same time

[In_The_Wind]

5. Our young minds were curious. Those were good books.

If I wasn't supposed to read it, I did.

[nomorenomore08]

3. I was probably around that same age when I found a rather graphic historical romance novel

(set in Ancient Rome IIRC) my mother had been reading. I only read a few pages, but the passage I'd stumbled across was a bit of a shock to me.

[Teamster Jeff]

4. Portnoy's Complaint

Not quite porn but I was pretty young and it shocked me

[In_The_Wind]

6. I remember reading that when I was a teenager. It shocked me too.

[panader0]

7. Candy by Terry Southern

[In_The_Wind]

9. I read that one.

[Paladin]

27. "Candy" swept through my 9th grade class like a contagion.

Lots of warnings and one-day suspensions given out.

[pipi_k]

11. My first too....

"Daddy, it's YOU!!!???"


I was 13 or 14 I think

[SCantiGOP]

61. remember the movie of Candy?

Richard Burton had a small but memorable part.

[solara]

23. Candy was my first too!

I remember reading Candy in a dressing room at the theatre where I worked as an apprentice while an actor, much older than I, ( I was probably 15 or 16 at the time and he was certainly in his 60s) stopped by for a moment and watched me with a strange sort of bemused look on his face as I read. I was pretty sure that he would not know what the book was about since he was so old and all, so I kept reading, feeling a bit self satisfied and probably slightly arrogant as well.

Looking back at it, I am pretty sure he not only knew about the book but had a pretty fair idea of what I was experiencing while I was reading it.

[valerief]

64. That was my first, too. nt

[BainsBane]

8. Myra Breckenridge

I was home sick with strep throat and picked it off the shelf to read. I was in 7th or 8th grade. It was quite an eye opener.

[In_The_Wind]

10. I always enjoyed my sick days at home alone.

My stepmother's bookcase held so many interesting secrets.

[cliffordu]

12. The adventurers.....I think.

Third grade so I was eight. Got it out of my grade school library on the advice of my third grade teacher who's breasts I stared at relentlessly for the entire year.

Man, I can still see that cleavage. She gave me a hug once in a while......

[Tom_Foolery]

13. The Happy Hooker by Xaviera Hollander...

I was about 16.

[In_The_Wind]

39. One Friday afternoon, Xaviera Hollander gave a speech at Kingsboro College ...

when I was a student there in '72 or maybe she was there in '73. You would never have guesses what her profession was just by looking at her.

[RiffRandell]

47. Me too.

I was about 12...found it in my Mom's closet.

[Xyzse]

14. I must have been 8 or 9

I don't remember the name of the book. It was paperback smut not worth mentioning.

Still, it was primarily about a Jewish American woman who headed back to work in Israel. She gets involved with a semi-balding jewish guy, but her main attraction is with a Palestinian.

I don't know the book's name any more, but it was far better written and sexier than Shades of Grey any day.

[bluedigger]

15. The Harrad Experiment.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Harrad-Experiment-Robert-Rimmer/dp/0879756233

I was probably about 13. Shortly thereafter I discovered that there was pornography with pictures. I doubt that I read another pornographic book again.

[MicaelS]

16. Hell I was 11, and I read a REAL porn...

"Novel", I found in a trash can. Not this artsy-fartsy stuff. IIRC, it was a Liverpool Library Press book, but can't remember the title. Something about boys at a private school, and the school nurse.

[LadyHawkAZ]

17. Hollywood Wives

I was 11.

[HarveyDarkey]

18. Story of O

[In_The_Wind]

19. One of my favorites!

[SomethingFishy]

20. The Jury was unanimous...

let this post stand. I can't believe someone alerted on it..

[In_The_Wind]

25. Another juror member sent me a PM with the full alert and comments of each juror.

Perhaps the person sending the alert hasn't read the classics.

Thank you.

[SomethingFishy]

31. Mine was the "pull that stick out of your ass" comment

[In_The_Wind]

36. Thank you ~ Juror #1

Well done

[olddots]

22. Lady Chatterley's lover

first book I read ----never been the same .

[antiquie]

24. Three Men and Diana.

It was a romance novel written in 1933, but at age 11, I was amazed.

[hrmjustin]

26. I can't remember the name but I was 18 when I did.

[rurallib]

28. Sears Catalog, women's underwear section

and the National Geographic stories on equatorial Africa

[antiquie]

30. Finally,

The Honest Man.

[Tom Ripley]

29. Hardcore pornography? 9."Lad Mad" was the title

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. It wasn't exactly pornographic...but my mom was surprised.

I was babysitting for a neighbor, and found this book in her bookcase. "A House Is Not A Home." The neighbor was amused and said it was OK with her if I read it. So I did.

It was a non-fiction book about a whore house...

I don't really remember much about it!

Lady Chatterley's Lover and Candy came along when I was in college, I think. I was riveted!

[In_The_Wind]

41. I led a very sheltered early childhood.

I didn't know porn existed while I lived with my Aunt.

When I was 17, my second stepmother confiscated my collection of books on Sigmund Freud.
I was working on a paper for my senior english class.

She thought his works were too sexual.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. She should NOT have done that to you...

I'm so sorry....

[In_The_Wind]

45. Today, I feel sorry for her. Obviously she was sick inside.

Thanks Peggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. YW...

[Locut0s]

50. Stepmother confiscates books on Freud...

That couldn't have written itself now could it. Talk about Freudian issues. lol

[In_The_Wind]

53. Like so many women in my past ... it was/is jealousy.

BTW ~ She was only 11 years older than me. Oh and ... my father was her fifth husband.

[LWolf]

33. I can't remember the title.

I was an early "latch-key" kid, and a voracious reader. I wasn't allowed to leave the house when I got home from school until my mom got home.

At some point, maybe about 11 yo, I'd run through everything I had to read and started browsing her shelves. I found some book about some swedish or dutch woman who traveled around having sex with every man, and some women, that attracted her attention. I don't remember the title, the author, or the protagonist's name, but I can remember a few of the sex scenes, lol.

When I got done with that one, I picked Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask off her shelf. By the time I was 12 I'd had quite an education. She never knew.

I also read Lady Chatterly, later on in my teens. It was mild in comparison.

[IcyPeas]

34. The Pearl - by Anonymous

it was considered erotic Victoriana, but it was pretty porn-y to me. Fantastic stuff.

[In_The_Wind]

37. My step-mom's bookshelf also contained The Pearl, which I read.

In the early 60s it was steamy stuff for a teenager.

[Paladin]

52. Yeah, I acquired a paperback of that one when I was a teen.

Impressive book, when I was at a very impressionable age.

[trof]

35. Peyton Place

Racy for the time but pretty soft now (no pun intended).
The book went from hand to hand in high school.
The 'good' pages were dogeared.

[In_The_Wind]

43. My second stepmother burned my copy.

I just bought another one.
Oh and a copy of Return to Peyton Place.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

38. Not sure if it was the first but

it was one of them- The Autobiography of a Flea.

[In_The_Wind]

58. I'll have to google that one.

[img][/img]

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

59. It circulated the barracks

a couple of times!

[In_The_Wind]

60. Wow! That was quite a bit more than I expected. And it's so old, from the 1800s.

Indeed

*** warning ~ not for prudes ***

[nolabear]

40. I literally found The Story of O in a ditch when I was about fourteen.

Let me tell you, the scales fell from my eyes...

[In_The_Wind]

42. Hahaha!

It's a very good thing we were smart enough to realize that Stephen had it all wrong.

[Kaleva]

48. The Old Testament

Can't recall the age.

[NickB79]

54. Ding ding ding! My thoughts exactly!

Lots of X-rated discussions going on in Leviticus.

Don't fuck your livestock or your sister.

[In_The_Wind]

56. Why would the bible have to tell people that?

Incest and bestiality are unthinkable (to me anyway) wrongs.

[Locut0s]

49. Fanny Hill : Memoirs of A Woman of Pleasure...

Actually no the first was undoubtedly online fan erotic fiction that I can't remember now. This is just the only one that I can remember the name of And actually I only read a chapter or two to see what the fuss was about

[Chan790]

51. I don't recall which was first, I remember which was best.

It was the literature fair project I wrote in HS for I Will Fear No Evil by Robert Heinlein that got me suspended for 3 days. The teacher, having read only the more mainstream Heinlein was not aware when I chose it what the subject matter was or exactly how filthy the book was. I was and chose it because LF projects were going to be presented on Parent's Night and I had some socio-political point about obscenity and erotica in art and culture I was going to make to the parents of my Catholic school peers. The narcissism and false-omniscience of 15 year olds in retrospect is galling.

Getting suspended for writing a book report on a filthy book is like vacation. I spent the time reading Fear of Flying and Portnoy's Complaint.

[In_The_Wind]

55. Those were all good/interesting books.

Why are people so interested in censoring what we think?

[nomorenomore08]

57. I read 'Portnoy' about 10 years ago (at age 18/19). Brilliant, hilarious book.

I've also read 'The Breast' (essentially a 'Metamorphosis' parody) which was "meh" and 'The Human Stain' which was fucking great. I need to read more Roth - 'American Pastoral' has been on my "to-read" list for quite a while.

[Still Blue in PDX]

62. Perfumed and Powdered

I think I was around 10 or 11.

My best friend and I accompanied my dad to the dump, where we looked around for treasures. We found some bongo drums and a box of books that had the covers torn off, and "Perfumed and Powdered" was amongst them. It had a couple of words in it that I did not find defined in my handy dandy Thorndyke Barnhardt High School Dictionary, which I will not repeat here as this is my work computer and they might send up red flags.

[bluesbassman]

63. Not sure, but it was a hardcover for sure. Easier to hold with one hand.
