    I’m listening the “The Nightland” by WH Hodgeson. Don’t know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. 🫤 I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. 🫥🤯😹

    They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out …lol

    " and she did rub me very skillful and gentle for a great hour until I was all refreshed and in verity she was a lovely wise maid. And surely when I was come again …etc etc"

            I’m not a prude, I like smut as much as the next person, it’s just hilarious that no one mentions that this is a sex book in the style of dante

      How very Shakespearean country matters. I’m all in for some good smut, but stuff written circuitously to avoid the censors doesn’t do it at all. No horny hobbits.

        Odd that you would speak of hobbits , the first half of the book be very much like the journey to erebor, very very

      Wow okay, that language turns me off 😂 pretentious and flowery, contrasted with the sexually explicit content? 🤢

        other than the weird daddy mommy issues, the he-man stuff, the helpless delicate female stuff , the bondage stuff and the weird language, and these are only a few chapters so far out of many chapters

        other than that it’s a great story well told

        ( written in 1913 it predates Howard /Conan the Barbarian by 20 years )

        "But I was greatly stiff on my waking … " …lol

        what it makes much funnier for me is that this guy has the same voice and accent as Peter Cook.

          Written as if it was the 17th century. I had a look at it, and it sounds interesting, but the wiki plot summary left all the sexy out 😂 did Hodgson edge the whole way writing this? 😂😂

            the first two chapters were cutesy, then 9 chapters of good science fiction, now two chapters of edging

            I recommend it as an interesting and new experience

            there is another 7 hours of this

              I am starting to question my interpretation of the science fiction chapters
