Dark Sex
Perverted? Or just creative?
For a long time we at Erotic Review Books thought that fetishistic sex was not for us. That sex was best left 'plain and simple'. But gradually we have come to appreciate the huge variety in the many different (and fascinating) sexual proclivities of others. Though we might draw the line at physically taking part in some of these obsessive acts, we find them enormously stimulating to daydream about.
DARK SEX represents the finest collection of 20th Century fetish photography ever assembled. Mostly recording sexual deviation of huge diversity from before the last war, it once more contradicts, with knobs on, Larkin's view that sex was only invented in 1963.
This is not something I'm ashamed of: vicarious thrills, though cheap, are often the best! DARK SEX is a book that explores some of our murkiest sexual obsessions, and I must admit, it has been a revelation. Bondage. Domination. Whipping. Caning. Spanking. 'Teacher-pupil'. Enemas and douches. Urination. Fetish wear such as rubber or leather. The veneration of the female bottom and other body parts. DARK SEX explores them all.
No cleft left unexplored
The images in DARK SEX are from a unique private collection, part of which is now published for the very first time. Many of these photographs have never been seen before. The DuPret Collection of vintage and modern fetish photography has been amassed over years and represents the culmination of seeking out some of the rarest and finest of the genre.
Photographs by masters - lovingly collected. And that's not all...
Some of the photographers are well-known and acknowledged as masters in their field: Ostra, Biederer, Grunworth and Richard. Others have remained anonymous, for fear of prosecution in their time. John and Linda DuPret have written an informed and entertaining foreword to this book which is without doubt one of the most authoritative on the subject. But there's more to come. Much, much more...

The Illustrated Book of Corporal Punishment
The sight of so many images of delectable, vulnerable bottoms (even out-thrust breasts) meekly offered up for chastisement, seems to bring out the whip-wielding dom in anyone. However, while most of us are content with fantasy, pure and simple, this book reflects some of the real experiences of author and illustrator Lynn Paula Russell: who better than she - and many others dedicated to the gentle art of chastisement - to take us to those dark, hidden places in our sexual imagination?
From £2.50 |
The Illustrated Book of Bottoms
