note | "Two women are held captive, degraded, and forced to endure unspeakable sexual acts, but through it all find hidden and unrealized strengths of character. The 'theme' novel of the late 1960s propelled the paperback industry to new heights, and saw a growing audience. In the early stages of adult erotic novels, then-taboo topics like homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery, and drugs made up the meat of the market. With the advent of the hippie generation and the general cultural confusion surrounding the Vietnam War, there was a breaking of standard levies in the publishing industry, paving the way for modern pornography. Degradation became a often used premise for books in the adult market, and this volume personifies the limits publisher's would strive to reach, and even surpass, during the mid 1970s and the 1980s. Hardcore, with bondage, lesbian, and group sex themes." (informations from an internet offer) |
