The Good Parts

[geminigirl]

What was the first book you remember looking for "the good parts" where the good parts were something "dirty" or titillating, or prurient?

If you like, what do you remember about it? How old were you?

I was in grade six, and it was Anne Frank-The Diary of a Young Girl. I believe there were some passages about menstruation which were the first things one of the girls in my class who had already read the book showed us.

Early teens, and either Jaws or Wifey, don't remember which I read first. Before that, though, I discovered a Hustler magazine with a scratch-and-sniff centerfold, and that didn't make me want to know more.

I read Wifey when I was about fifteen or so, and it had some pretty hot sex in it, all things considered. I'd discovered a copy of Judy Blume's "Forever" in my parents' basement when I was about thirteen or fourteen and that was really hot stuff. I'd seen it referenced somewhere else, and a friend had told me about the sex parts, so I had to read them. That was the first book I remember actively masturbating while I read it. Around the same time I got a hold of that, I also managed to score a copy of something by Erica Jong (I think it was probably "Parachutes and Kisses") in the basement, too, which was incredibly hot and included words like clitoris and "red wings". So much of it went overmy head but wow was it hot stuff.

scratch and sniff???

I found it under my sister and brother-in-law's sofa, one day, while cruising for something to read. It smelled like overripe laundry.

I suppose rather different from the real thing then.
