"' What a picture! ' She shivered, making her breasts quiver, and I realized that this confession, far from horrifying her, was feeding her lust. You'll send the devil back into our flesh.' "
Considered one of the truly great French writers of the nineteenth century, famed poet and novelist Alfred de Musset once decided (as great French writers are wont to do) to try his hand at erotic fiction. The glorious result was Gamiani, a classic tale of sensual pleasure and sexual excess. Reputedly inspired by the debauched history of Musset's former lover-the irrepressible George Sand-it is the classic erotic story of one man, two women . . . and two incomparable nights of uninhibited sexual adventure.

Gamiani ou, Une Nuit d'Excès, was the 1st really important work to come from the 19th century French presses. It's still one of the most erotically explicit works to come from any French press. Its author is supposed to have been Alfred de Musset (1810-57) & the eponymous heroine a portrait of his lover, George Sand. A young man observes her & a young girl, obligingly named Fanny, engaged in their lesbian bed. Having watched them & provoked by their gay abandonment, he reveals himself, joins them & they spend the night alternately sharing their intimate histories & their bodies in orgies of almost religious intensity. Unsurprisingly religious, as the stories they tell include the rape of one in a monastery & the nearly fatal debauchment of another in a convent, as well as encounters with a number of animals; a ménagerie à trois, as it were. Their night of excess is both explicitly aural & explicitly oral, & ends in Countess Gamiani's gasps: "I am dying in an agony of pleasure, an agony of suffering. I can't stand it any more. Simultaneously the four of us achieved the most wonderful sensations, climaxing together & each of us experiencing an intense orgasm. What ardent enjoyment of taste to my palate! What delicious, intoxicating overflow in my entrails! Can you conceive these excesses? Just think of it! To suck in one's mouth all of a man's love juice & strength, to drink it down impatiently, to swallow it in waves of foam both warm & bitter, & at the same time to feel a double jet of flame enter your body by its two lower orifices at once. It's a triple pleasure, impossible to describe adequately."

Pour écrire l’histoire de sa vie, il faut d’abord avoir vécu ; aussi n’est-ce pas la mienne que j’écris. Mais de même qu’un blessé atteint de la gangrène s’en va dans un amphithéâtre se faire couper un membre pourri ; et le professeur qui l’ampute, couvrant d’un linge blanc le membre séparé du corps, le fait circuler de mains en mains par tout l’amphithéâtre, pour que les élèves l’examinent ; de même, lorsqu’un certain temps de l’existence d’un homme, et, pour ainsi dire, un des membres de sa vie, a été blessé et gangrené par une maladie morale, il peut couper cette portion de lui-même, la retrancher du reste de sa vie, et la faire circuler sur la place publique, afin que les gens du même âge palpent et jugent la maladie. Ainsi, ayant été atteint, dans la première fleur de la jeunesse, d’une maladie morale abominable, je raconte ce qui m’est arrivé pendant trois ans. Si j’étais seul malade, je n’en dirais rien ; mais comme il y en a beaucoup d’autres que moi qui souffrent du même mal, j’écris pour ceux-là, sans trop savoir s’ils y feront attention ; car dans le cas où personne n’y prendrait garde, j’aurai encore retiré ce fruit de mes paroles de m’être mieux guéri moi-même, et comme le renard pris au piège, j’aurai rongé mon pied captif...
