A View on My Secret Life
I've read My Secret Life, it's a story about an anonymous author and his sexual conquest during the Victorian era. Before reading it, I was googling for books to read, and came upon a list of banned books. I downloaded those books listed under banned for obscenities and came across My Secret Life. I was just curious about the level of obscenity that these books have. I just wanted to know why they are banned. First read was My Secret Life, it was banned because it's too graphic,the sex scenes described were too explicit. It's like viewing porn in your imagination. The vocabularies used were very straightforward i.e. c*nt, c*cks,etc. It's more of like psychology and sexuality in one book, his sexual awakenings,his views,what he feels about the act. At first,it was in a way mind opening,but as you go through along,the book seems like a drag,everything is about his conquest,about how he gets a girl or girls and other sexual acts. I wonder if all his accounts were true even if the book claims that it's non-fiction and an autobiography at that but 1,200 girls and a girl with two vag? oh now c'mon! In that book, sex is sex, people are sexual beings and it's part of human nature,no matter what era you belong to or what social class you're in,as he said it's just c*nts and c*cks all the way. What makes it interesting though is that it is set during the Victorian era where people are highly moral and regard these issues as social taboos, no wonder why this book was banned because subjects about promiscuity,adultery and prostitution were prevalent throughout the book.
