Summary

The Victorians may have attempted to show the world they were upright, strict and full of virtue but much of this thinking has been subverted by their erotic and pornographic writing.  With a vast Empire to organise and rule Victorians authors also had a wealth of new locations in which to have their characters fornicate in their written erotic adventures.  These purveyors of erotic literature were no slouches when it came to getting their materials into the hands and minds of others.  They used one of the great tools of the day; the literary magazine.  Engagingly in the great tradition of literary magazines who serialised many wonderful books the Victorians had their own pornographic magazine which ran for eighteen monthly issues from July 1879 to December 1880.  That seems to be quite some enterprise when you consider just the business side of printing and distribution of it whilst one presumes the law was casting its beady eyes at you.  On the literary side it managed to print six serialised novels with Sub-Umbra or Sport Among The She-Noodles being one of them as well as many short stories and a whole host of other minutiae including ballads, poems, limericks, jokes, witticisms, puns, ditties all in textures from refined to coarse.  This book's full title is the protagonist's reference to his female cousins and their friend.  It should be added that one of the cousins suggests that they were noodles for not indulging in sexual activity prior to their initiation by their older cousin.  Cousin Walter is 19 and tells the story in the first person of his sexual adventures with his cousin Frank, his three younger female cousins and their teenage friend during a stay at their country residence.   Loss of virginity and orgies are order of the day in these hugely risque Victorian revelations.

    Warning: Explicit Content. "The Hotwife Learns, Her Husband Squirms" Series. Joey Carlson loves his wife, Brianna to the moon and back. Sure, he thinks she’s stunningly beautiful in every way. But equally important is that she lives by the same old-fashioned and deeply conservative codes of ethics and decency as he. And Joey greatly respects that. 
      
    Well, all that decency comes to a screeching halt when, one day at work, they are called to a staff meeting by Pierre Cartier, CEO of the French-based lingerie manufacturer Chatte International. The topic of this meeting? Sexual harassment. 
      
    Since this phenomenon has been on the rise lately, Mr. Cartier has decided to ‘demonstrate’ various examples of sexual harassment so that the dirty-minded managers will know what behaviors to avoid and the female workers will know if and when their boss has crossed the line. And how does he plan to demonstrate? By calling a starstruck Brianna to the front of the room, offering her a hefty bonus in exchange for her cooperation, and having her play the part of his secretary! Joey is outraged and appalled—not only because Mr. Cartier would even suggest such a thing, but because Brianna actually goes along with it! 
      
    He is shocked that his sweet, innocent, and modest wife is willing to take part in such a travesty. But apparently, she is so flattered that such a handsome, refined, and masculine man as Mr. Cartier would choose her, and she is in such awe of him that she is apparently willing to participate. 
      
    Not that she enjoys it. The things her boss proceeds to do are beyond lewd and humiliating. And yet, as the situation unfolds, she is growing increasingly aroused by everything her boss is doing to her in the name of employee education. Yet, as outraged as Joey is, he’s finding himself growing at least as aroused as her. He can’t help it. Yes, he’s appalled. Yes, he’s jealous beyond comprehension!
