Laura ... Sexy. Enigmatic. Randy. Insatiable. Welcome to her house of sexual experiments - and of spanking. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian England had its own adult entertainment industry - countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers - in more ways than one. The anonymously written "Laura" is sometimes credited to the pseudonym James Jennings, the actual author behind this book may have been Patrick Henden.
