The Erotic Adventures of a Victorian Doctor: Desires of a Lady
Doctor Damian Thatch is a London physician whose unique version of clitoral massage immediately cures his patients of their hysteria. The masochistic Lady Bridgette, however, desires more. But a proper Victorian lady may not have any interest in sex, and even thinking about an orgasm would be completely unacceptable. Her solution is to convince her trusted physician to “become the administrator of her immorality.”
She confesses to Damian her wish to engage in “activities that a man may only obtain from the likes of a prostitute,” but that her social standing prohibits her from doing so. She then initiates an erotic demonstration of what she has in mind, following which he eagerly agrees to help her.
Subsequent encounters then uncover Damian’s tendency towards sadism. Not only is his arousal enhanced by dominating Lady Bridgette, but delivering pleasure to her through spanking greatly intensifies his subsequent release.
When Lady Bridgette comes to understand that intensified pain also intensifies her pleasure, Damian becomes free to do with her as he wishes.This is an adult only work of fictional Victorian erotica involving bondage, domination, sadism, masochism (BDSM) and humiliation.

Words For Parting: Victorian Poetry On Death and Mourning
Love and grief and the two most private, and at the same time the most universal of all human emotions. It is for love that we remember the dead: love of their spirits, love of their vibrancy, love of the good deeds which they did and which live on after them. The poems in this collection were all written by grieving hearts who have now themselves passed over into that great mystery. We can not truly know what death is, yet we know it will come to all of us. In ancient times when a friend told the philosopher Socrates that his judges had sentenced him to death he responded, “And has not Nature passed the same sentence on them?”
Inasmuch as there can ever be any comfort for those left behind, part of it lies in knowing that death is a reflection of life. When it comes we cry, then we take our first faltering steps towards understanding. In time we become accustomed to this manifold enigma which nature has given us, and then ultimately we look towards the future with hope.
If this little book of poems may be of some help to those in sorrow by reminding them they are not alone, then it will have done its work.Read more
