Introduction
With the publication of "The Sexocrats", the young author who is a member of the English landed gentry was reviled on all sides as "one of the most immoral traitors to his class since Oscar Wilde". This daring expose of perverse sex practices indulged in by the upper classes and nobility all over Europe shocked the critics. This censors' ban both in England and France attempted to stop the sale of the book, but it nevertheless had a wide and notorious underground circulation.
Some of the sexual aberrations described in the unusual characters encountered in the story can perhaps be clarified by these statements by the psychoanalyst, Dr. A. Berndorff:
"Lady Helen informed me that she often had sexual relations with two women during the same period of time. Her so-called 'twosomes' with women never lasted more than a month or so. She informed me that for some reason she never trusted blondes and could never have an orgasm with one. She would go to the cinema with two girls and go into the rest room with one and bring her to a climax by orally manipulating her vagina. Then returning to her seat, she would manually masturbate the other girl until she too had a climax. Upon returning home, she would submit to oral anal and vaginal stimulation by both girls simultaneously and this would induce her orgasm.
"She was also going out with Lord M., a prominent member of the government married to someone else. She stated that she had intercourse with him the second night they met and that it was a normal couplation. Afterwards she submitted to anal insertion of Lord M.'s penis. She asserted that this proved his homosexual tendencies and that anal intercourse was unpleasant for her. Of course, this was just an excuse since she preferred the love of her own sex.
"It is interesting to note that subsequently in her psychoanalyis Lady M. admitted that she would let her female lovers insert dildoes into her anus if they wished....."
These actual excerpts from the case-histories of a famous European analyst, Dr. A. Berndorff, prove that real life facts of sexual perversion are even more startling than fiction. In any event "The Sexocrats" is bound to broaden the reader's knowledge of current sex phenomena among Europe's upper classes considerably.
Continental Classics presents this dramatic story in its complete and unexpurgated form. This book is recommended only for the graduate student or the mature adult reader because of the nature of it theme.
