DIRTY BITS FOR GIRLS

From zipless action in "Fear of Flying" to jolly romps with Jilly Cooper; from transgressions with a priest in "The Thorn Birds" to mischief with Mellors; from a gentle first encounter with Ralph in "Forever" to anything and everything but gentle in "The Story of O." Even Keats, Chaucer, and Shakespeare are up to no good. These are the stories that taught us about sex, volumes pilfered from our parents' bookshelves, favorites passed from girl to girl, hidden in desks, whispered and wondered about.
