To the department of historical smut, which informs us that this week, Google Books uploaded a singularly scandalous title—the 1680 translation of a French sex guide, titled in English The School of Venus, or The Ladies Delight, Reduced into Rules of Practice. Sounds pretty classy, right? Oh boy.
The book, which you may as well read in its entirety, takes the form of dialogues between a young maiden and her more experienced cousin. Alongside many pornographic diagrams to help you get the mechanics right, the two discuss heterosexuality in all its multifaceted glory. Among other things, they discuss why intercourse is better than getting fingerbanged.
A typical exchange: “But when the Prick is down, can a Wench make it stand again?” “Very easily,” comes the answer. “‘tis but gently rubbing it in her hand, if thou didst know the virtue of a Wenches hand, and how capable ‘tis of giving pleasure to a man, thou wouldest not wonder at it.” That clears that up! So go on, get reading. There’s much to learn within these pages, including strange idiom “Mans Yard.”
