is our 19th century businessman talking like a 17th century pirate? Avast?
Why? Victorians were well known for their love of roleplay in matters of sex. Anyway, Pirates are cool..
Sir! I commend your skill at capturing the Victorian vernacular. Truly a delight to savour such a winsome story so well-related. I was reminded of 'Fanny Hill' of which no doubt you are aware.
Again my congratulations to you!
An excellent effort in Victorian erotica...I commend you!
Many thanks.
To nitpick: Some of the style of speech was victorian but a lot was from earlier eras.
You used 'disinterested' to mean 'uninterested'. They don't mean the same thing. A wife cannot be disinterested in sex with her husband although she may be uninterested.
Yeah, I know. Some of it was positively anglo saxon at times. On the other point, personally, I thought disinterested sounded more interesting than uninterested. Come to think of it I probably invented a couple of words in the whole series because they sounded "right" in my head - is bloomered a word?!. I just had a little fun playing around with stuff which was the main reason for doing it in the first place.
Such a fun story. Sure the language was a bit awkward at times but that was part of what made it fun. Thanks for having the courage to try something a little different.
