The School of Women , by Nicolas Chorier (AD 1612-1692), is an erotic novel written and published in the mid to late 17 th century France.

The School of Women , by Nicolas Chorier (AD 1612-1692), is an erotic novel written and published in the mid to late 17 th century France. It has a convoluted history, much of it made up: Luisa Sigea, a female Spanish poet, had purportedly written the original in Spanish ( Sotadic Satire on the Mysteries of Love and Venus ); later Johannes Meursius, a Dutch classicist, purportedly translated it into Latin ( Eleganti??? Latini Sermonis... ). From there, it made its way into French and then English, multiple times. This translation in English, from the French, contains the first 5 of 7 dialogs between two young women protagonists, Tullie and her younger companion, Octavie. The plot is simple: Tullie, the more experienced of the two women, has been asked by Octavie s mother to instruct her daughter on how best to satisfy her future husband in bed . Unsurprisingly, the dialogs themselves take place in bed. It s a coming of age story of sorts for Octavie, and a paean to tribadism as well as to the hetero sexual love between a man and his wife. Very graphic in nature, - if written today, it might have had a subtitle of "How to please your man in bed, while practicing on a woman." Highly erotic - it is definitely not a book for children, and may not be a book for some adults even.
