Dosn't have "The Story of O" though it does have the unexpurgated edition of The Decameron by Boccaccio.

I remember reading a library copy of this in the 1950's. It left the most interesting of the 100 stories untranslated, in the original Italian. It's the tenth story of the third day if you are curious.

The Story of "O", on video, supposed to be true to the book but I've not read the book. Amazon!

The Decameron by Boccaccio, I'll have to look for that one, my oh knows it though.Amazon again.

The Story of O is a BDSM novel, banned in France but not in the UK.

Written by a woman.

Of course! :lol:

Wasn't there a bit in the book that questioned why women fake orgasms?...

Cos they think men actually give a monkeys! :wink:
