I came across a reference to this book in The Guardian and generally trusting the bulk of their judgement I picked it up and read it. It very short at only 100 pages or so. But believe me this is no ordinary book.

It is disgusting, erotic, pornographic, revolting, riveting, taboo ridden, cowboy-style ridden, filthy and well written. Given that it was penned by non other than the famous American poet Jack Gilbert you can well understand the eloquent style.

Now to the content. I guess if you have any real morals you will be upset about this book just as you no doubt are by the multiple murders daily portrayed on TV and things like poverty and hunger in real life. Not to mention the unending wars. And you will no doubt pen a mighty rebuke of this debauched excuse for a book as you no doubt do, daily, about the things mentioned above.

Also, if you were raised any of the sex-phobic religions, you will probably masturbate yourself silly and make a few notes, before condemning this book.

Beyond that, I found it really refreshing. In one scene the daughter explicitly shows her "brother" all the various sexual parts of her body and their names and in doing so she defines which terms are acceptable and which are not and why so. This one scene really nails the underlying psychology of mainstream society when it comes to sex and womens' bodies. Oh and she also explains what to do with all those parts and how to do it correctly so that the woman is pleasured.

There is definitely more sex education in the first couple of chapters than I had in years of schooling and it re-reminded me that the little sex education I had at school never once mentioned pleasure or the clitoris. Can you imagine a treatise on soccer that never once mentioned the feet?

Anyway, if I were you I'd really stay away from filth like this, trust me, I have read it thoroughly. -- Ken-Me-Old-Mate… (meer)

'My Mother Taught Me' is a work of erotic literature which portrays very close family ties, the principal male character being the adoptee of a couple with two teenage daughters, but otherwise it is replete with situations and occurrences which devotees of this taboo will find very amusing. The adopted young man has never seen a female, but here he undergoes a crash course of instruction which accelerates him precipitately to the opposite pole of experience, involving all three female relatives and a highly suggestible maid, not to mention the family pet. He is quickly elevated to a role akin to that of slave master, running the household. The scenes portrayed are highly atmospheric, with much glowing detail. The book comes from the intense fringe end of the erotic spectrum, bordering on sleaze, but it is quite well written and hold the attention well throughout.… (meer)
