ABC OF PERVERSIONS

This book is a must-read for everyone who wonders whether his or her fantasies are absurd or perverse, or who wants to do or dream something different for a change. It’s also an eye-opener, revealing rare and obscure fantasies the reader is unlikely to have previously encountered.



DE SADE
