Introduction
The young American writer, Jim Morrison, first published his remarkable expose of the sexual perversions rampant in big business in England, as it was considered too censorable to be printed in this country. Sales of the book were very good the first two weeks it was in the London bookstores and then it was banned by the English censors. The book had a good "underground" circulation however, and it soon became a collectors item in the field of modern erotica.
Some of the motivations of the main characters and their unusual sexual relationships may be better understood from the following data from the case history files of the famous analyst, Dr. O. Berndorff:
"My husband always claimed I was frigid," Frieda M. an attractive young married woman claimed, "but I knew that the opposite was true. If anything, I felt I was oversexed, but for some reason I could not respond physically to him. As he was having intercourse with me and his rigid penis entered my vagina, he would become extremely excited. He would work his big organ in and out of my vagina, moaning with pleasure as he finally ejaculated his sperm in me. I could only just lay there and take it, since I felt no response.
"The only time I ever enjoyed sex with him was when he would perform cunnilingus on me. If his hot tongue only barely licked my vaginal lips and clitoris for a few moments, I would immediately 'come' with a very intense orgasm. I also would 'come' if he thrust his penis in my rectum, as I frequently asked him to do. As he ejaculated his sperm in my anus, I would also have an orgasm.
"However, my greatest sexual thrill would come when I saw a woman friend naked in the toilet or her bedroom. I would masturbate after seeing a nude female friend as soon as I was alone, and would experience a most thrilling orgasm."
This novel should prove enlightening and instructive to the reader's psychological understanding. Continental Classics presents the original unexpurgated version from this point of view. It is recommended only for the graduate student or the mature adult reader.
