"Our passions are the principal instruments of our preservation. It is, therefore, an enterprise as vain as it is ridiculous to want to destroy them."
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1748)

Mutual masturbation for International Masturbation Day



Well, there isn't such a thing as mutual masturbation, of course, but these two nineteenth century ladies seem happy enough.  Today it is hot and sunny in the South East of England so I am going over to my particular friend Angela's house for skinny dipping with her and her girlfriend, J.  The plan is that we all then perform for each other, in celebration!

Two women, one in black stockings



Here is a lovely photograph dating from around the end of the nineteenth century or the beginning of the twentieth century.  Anonynous, of course, as was typical for the period, it is a nice enough composition but is made by the pale eyes of the woman on the left looking directly at the camera.  "This is just lovely.' she appears to be thinking, while her companion concentrates on the job in hand.

Ménage à trois from the nineteenth century





My particular friend B send me this amusing photograph of two ladies and a young (he looks younger than the usual sturdy middle aged men you tend to get in these sorts of pictures) gentleman in a nicely composed pile.  This is probably from a French erotic postcard, although latterly it has been used as the cover of a book on German erotica.   Dating these pictures is always problematic and without a very good knowledge of nineteenth century continental millinery it is quite tricky.

The shorter stockings, lingerie, hair styles and less crisp photography would tend to suggest the 1880s or 1890s.  I like the fact that the two ladies are smiling in this one.  One girl happily frigs the man and herself while the other appears to demonstrate pinpoint accuracy in giving him a salty drink.  Of course cameras at the time couldn't capture a lady in mid flow like this, so a little post photographic manipulation would have been needed!

Kissing ladies from the nineteenth century




Here is a delicious picture of two kissing women from the late nineteenth century. They have something of Daisy and Edith, from my erotic story The Lust World, about them! The standing girl is a voluptuous lovely indeed! What a splendid posterior!  I have no exact date for this picture but these striped stockings were very popular in the 1890s.  Almost certainly French.  Gorgeous!
