It seems that the 1970s porno mag Screw used to assess porno movies on a four-erect-penises rating scale.
Adapting that scale to the novel here in question, I would easily bestow it four big hard ones. This, so far, is the only book I've read that kept me tumescent the entire way; literary Viagra of the first order.
If this is too much information then get back to the junior leagues, o' timid ones.
"Despite the fact that my sexual exercises are ordinarily as reserved and conservative as my language, my moral scruples do not go so far as to prevent me from fucking a mother on top of her daughter and then deflowering the same daughter on top of her mother."
Just to give you an idea of what's afoot...
This is 174 pages of constant ultra-hardcore sexual, debauched one-upsmanship, or, more accurately one-upswomanship. The frenzy leads up to, ultimately, a bit of an anti-climax. But until then it's the hottest book you'll ever read. Question is: Can you take it?
This old French erotic novel (written 1910; published underground in 1926) roars out of the gate with a teen girl wanting posterior pleasure from her 20-year-old male neighbor (the girl, her sisters and mother have just moved into the next apartment). The attitudes toward sex are positive and gleeful, though also tinged with a sadness, as you will see. Before it ends, almost every variation of depravity is explored in dual and gang-bang configurations dealing with one of the most potent of male fantasies, the taking of a mother and her daughters simultaneously.
The writing is not avant-garde or offputting, just to-the-point, explicit and unashamedly nasty. It is, if I've not yet made it abundantly clear, the dirtiest book I've ever read.
Fair warning, don't read this if you don't have access to a facility and/or person in which to alleviate the pressure. I'm serious. This is so relentlessly dirty that it actually makes me giddy with laughter. The action is nonstop and the conversations -- which are downright hilarious in how everything is so plainly spelled out -- are just plain hot. This stuff is super taboo, very transgressive, pretty much nothing is off limits here. It's a volatile stew and it gets my juices going to the point of squirming. The perve muse delivereth...
A mother who is masterful in the art of sex is training her daughters in same said skills and giving herself and all of them over to the lucky main dude of the story. It's a fairly ridiculous conceit, pure male fantasy porn, but it's done so frankly and enthusiastically; it sort of puts contemporary erotica to shame, so to speak.
The sadness of the story comes through, despite what I said earlier. Each of the women -- all of whom really have the same voice, perhaps since they all share the same kind of life, or perhaps because Louys is not a good enough writer to distinguish personality -- is relating the harrowing depraved back stories of how they became whores, how each was first exposed to each nasty act. There's more an acceptance by the daughters and the mother of their whorish inheritance than true joy. All the happiness they have is concentrated in their clitoris, and usually they enjoy it best when self administered. As for the rest, it's simply a job, or perhaps a lifestyle that is fated rather than chosen. It's so silly at times that it's sublime, and the undercurrent of sadness is there. Even so, it's also a celebration of what is often known as depravity. I can't deny it, though, it sounds like being with these siblings would be a blast, even though it would be impossible to keep up with them.
Susan Sontag proclaimed this one of the few erotic novels deserving real literary status.
So, there, it has some snob cred, people.

Trois Filles, Une Cup
If you filmed this book it would get you life imprisonment or, in some countries, beheaded. I plead not guilty. I figured that something written in 1910 was safe. Furthermore, I posit that this booby trap was actually written by Susan Sontag in the late 50s.
After a while the book goes from hardcore to dullcore. The word cornhole appears 140 times in as many pages. How many people can sit through a full-length porno feature film from beginning to end? I would like to claim that I DNF, but that's not entirely true.

Un libro para quemarse en los infiernos. Un libro para ir a la cárcel, para ser censurado, cancelado, borrado, destrozado. Una lectura no apta para moralistas ni para enfermos, ni para esas personas que están a un pasito de la locura. Una lectura que según su propio autor, es más recomendable para las mujeres que para sus maridos. Una lectura ¿incómoda?, ¿entretenida?, ¿interesante?, ¿ridícula?, ¿peligrosa?, ¿inmoral?, ¿prohibida?, ¿detestable?, ¿horrenda?, ¿transgresora? Juzgue por usted mismo. Pierre Louÿs, escritor francés nacido en 1870, fue “un pagano en el fin del siglo”, (de Villena, sf), amigo íntimo de André Gide, toda su obra es “un intento de hallar un mundo idílico y feliz, dominado por la sensualidad y la belleza” (de Villena, sf, pág. 66). Halló en la antigua Grecia la celebración del cuerpo y de sus pasiones, sin los prejuicios de la moral judeo-cristiana, adoptó el paganismo y se dedicó a reconstruir de manera literaria esa Grecia clásica, sensual y poética en textos cargados de polémica y erotismo como “La Canción de Bilitis” (1894) o “Afrodita” (1896) que, desafiaron las convenciones de la época y “ensalzaron el amor lésbico sin remilgos ni tapujos, frente a la sexualidad intermitente y cruel del macho” (González Oozco, 2014). Pierre Louÿs alcanzó la fama, y la ¿inmortalidad?, gracias a estas dos obras, sus más conocidas, traducidas y editadas. Menos conocida resulta esta novela: “Madame y sus 3 hijas” o “Las tres hijas de su madre”, editada de manera póstuma en 1926, que le valió el beneplácito de los surrealistas, por su libertad moral, y el desprecio de los lectores contemporáneos, por sus apologías. Veamos (asustémonos) por algunos de sus escabrosos detalles.
“Las tres hijas de su madre” es una novela pornográfica que resalta por la descripción, detallada y elegante, de encuentros sexuales de niñas y adolescentes. En París, a inicios del Siglo XX en, un narrador protagonista, de veinte años de edad, se ve seducido por Mauricette, de catorce. La encantadora aniña abrirá sus puertas traseras, puesto que las delanteras no han sido jamás abiertas, para recibir al narrador que incrédulo, aceptará, casi a regañadientes la propuesta de la pequeña: convertirse en el objeto de placer de su madre y sus hermanas. En los sucesivos episodios, el narrador comenta sus aventuras sexuales con la madre, Teresa de 33 años, y las hermanas: Charlotte de 19 y Lili de 10. Teresa es la gran protagonista de la historia, meretriz y proxeneta, confiesa ser peor que las putas, o mejor que ellas más bien, porque no se somete al deseo de los hombres, ella brinda los suyos, los pervierte, los domina. A la par que los personajes tienen los más aberrantes e imaginativos encuentros sexuales, Teresa rememora su niñez y su formación como prostituta, le cuenta al narrador y a los lectores, cómo quedó embarazada de cada una de sus hijas y cómo las introdujo en el camino del vicio hasta convertirlas en unas verdaderas “hijas de su madre”. Los vicios que tienen las pequeñas podrían incomodar a cualquier lector, sus prácticas sexuales van más allá del sexo o la pornografía convencional, semejan un catálogo de la parte más podrida e inmunda de la deep web. Pese a que la situación es absurda (y harto repetitiva), la manera refinada de narrar de Pierre Louÿs en contrapunto con la utilización de un léxico vulgar le permita crear situaciones en donde cada encuentro sexual, lejos de una violación o un acto macabro, casi se parece a un juego, a un sucio divertimento corporal, a una obra de teatro en donde las niñas disfrutan al convertirse en mujeres, las más viciosas.
El componente principal de la obra, a más de la perversión, es la exaltación del arrebato de la juventud, de esos cuerpos fogosos que recuperan la erección al instante, o aprenden orgullosos a engullir sin importar la forma o el tamaño. Una juventud que corresponde a la obra del autor, pues sus mejores trabajos se hallan en su etapa inicial: “El Pierre Louÿs posterior a 1906 fue un hombre más atormentado, más denso, y, desde luego, menos nítido que el pagano luminoso de su obra cenital (de Villena, sf). Podría ser que esta obra sea un intento, un esbozo por recuperar, desde la literatura, el encanto de una juventud que decaía, de un ideal griego que se ensució, que enturbió su vida, que provocó que el antiguo pagano deje de escribir. Por supuesto, Pierre Louÿs insiste en el carácter moralizador de su relato, brindando una serie de consejos para los desfloramientos precoces (parecidos a los consejos que nos deja en su “Manual de urbanidad para jovencitas”):
“Pero, una vez más, no lo comprenderán ni los moralistas, quienes me condenarán por haber sodomizado a una niña, ni los locos, quienes no sabrían entregarse a este tipo de distracciones sin abofetear, azotar y golpear a la niña y sin que esta llore y grite como un cerdito degollado […] Las jóvenes me comprenderán mejor y eso me consuela, ya que es evidente que este libro será leído con más frecuencia por las mujeres que por sus maridos […]
Lógicamente, esta historia y estos consejos tienen poco de moralizante desde el punto de vista espiritual o religioso, o de lo políticamente correcto de estos días. Todo lo contrario, sus retazos son abyectos trozos de un horripilante rompecabezas que nadie debería completar. Pierre Louÿs adopta un tono idílico para adornar actos espantosos, actos que solo pueden ser adornados desde la literatura, desde unos textos que descubrieron su moral, una cercana al mundo antiguo, en donde todo valía mientras sea bello. Y todo vale en la literatura, verdadero terreno de la libertad. No censuremos a Pierre Louÿs de estanterías, bibliotecas y librerías, dejemos esta moral tan descarriada en donde pertenece, en una página con polvo y en los ojos extraviados de un cómplice lector.

Todo o texto parece obcecado por cenas de sexo explícitas, com absoluta preferência por situações sado-masoquistas, algumas das quais absolutamente nojentas.

Review finish and complete 🌻
This book is extremely sexual, and thats why i started to read it, because haha smut sex wow, but this is so traumatizing and horrible, in a level that I refuse to donate this book as I usually do with the books that I dont like, because I don't want anyone to read this.
In this book teenagers that are 14 and children of 8 and 10, make sex and orgys with adults, and the orgys are with they re mom and old guys and they prostitute since they re 5 years old with guys and girls and they fuck they re mom together, etc
The story is about 3 children that want to seduce they re neighbor and the neighbor is a guy that fucks children, like 8 years old and etc, and he fucks this 3 children of 14,10 and 8, and the mom and all of them make orgys
The sex is detailed and explicit
Its so discusting how this story was no plot twist, its not even a history, there is no secundary story happening, its just 266 pages of sex, just that, and no story
And the main character admits he is a pedophile and he likes to fuck minors and children and he usually does that
The author is just sick minded, the book is just a excuse to say that he is a pedophile, I understand dark storys, dark things and etc, Stephen King for example, I GET HORROR AND SICK MINDED THINGS but there is no story or plot twist, nothing is happening besides sex, is just straight up pedophilia STRAIGHT UP PEDOPHILIA
And wait this book is inspired by a real thing? That's even worse
Everyone that likes this is sus af i don't get the people that give this higher than 2 stars, u guys are sus af
I just read it cause it's 29 of June and I didn't read anything yet and I want to read at least 1 book per month and this one is quick and I don't have to pay attention cause it's literally just sex the whole book so it's a easy read to complete my goal of 1 book a month at minimum and I knew it was sex I didn't knew it was sick like this
And okay forgetting that this book is pedophilia, it's so boring it's sex during the 266 whole pages
It also haves zoophilia LIKE A LOT OF ZOOPHILIA and scat
And it also romanticizes beating on women in a non sexual ways it says that women like to be beaten up and if u punch a women it means you love her
It doesn't have a story, a plot twist, something happening, nothing, it's just sex with 14 year olds and violence and zoophilia
Don't waste your time reading this, because even if u are sick minded and u think that this is normal, it's boring, cause there is no story it's just sex, every page is sex, every each one of them
Also i get that this is a old book like 1980 or so, but idc, I'm never reading from this author again and i don't trust anyone that likes this author
"Omg u are so sensitive I love dark humor and dark things haha"
It's not humor, it's not even a story, it's just straight up child porn
People that are praising the author on his other book the guide for girls idk, it makes me so sick that people don't know that the pedophilia that he writes it's not a dark joke at all
I'm just going to lose this book and forget about it I want to forget everything that I just read cause it's horrible and sick minded

I read this book in its Spanish version some years ago, shortly after discovering Pierre Louÿs and his extremely smart and funny Manuel De Civilité Pour Les Petites Filles à L'usage Des Maisons D'éducation.
As many other open-minded readers from our time, I guess, I was also openly shocked by almost every page of it. I didn't find it arousing at all, but I did find it mostly fascinating, sometimes too strong, other times kind of sweet and innocent, all of it depending on the point of view and the level of relativism applied...
Today a good friend asked me about one erotic novel to read, and my mind came to this book, not as "one of the best erotic novels" but as "one labeled-as-erotic novel that could shock any reader up to some high levels"...

Hollow and Monotonous
In summary, it's a story about young girls groomed into being prostitutes deliberately conditioned into self-loathing and sex addiction by their pedophilic mother who rapes and tortures them, and gives her daughters out to other people for her own satisfaction. And everything is for *her* satisfaction; the men and women the children are given to (including the protagonist) are props. The real culprit is the mother in what she permits/arranges with others and what she does to them herself
The perspectives are from various unreliable narrators who excuse the mother for her actions. Which I suppose is truth in fiction, since it is common for children to defend abusive mothers and make excuses for them even when the mothers are complete pieces of trash
Not that this story aims for realism though. It is only smut, and very unrealistic at that, to the point where it's not shocking because of how exaggerated it all is. A bunch of accounts of women, men, girls, boys, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, animals regardless of age, relation, species randomly having sex with and raping each other. Mostly the mother raping the daughters. There's no depth to it besides that, and it becomes tedious by the hundredth account of the woman getting off to making her children give her cunnilingus
As for the characters, I could feel some sympathy for the daughters, especially Charlotte. The protagonist was just some moron who would screw any female and he offered no interesting insight even as the first-person narrator. The mother's character was just as shallow. It seemed she was meant to be sympathetic to some extent, but she was just a typical pervert who used those she had power over for her sexual inclinations. Even with her backstory and her sometimes being beaten and whipped by the johns, I still could feel no understanding towards her. I feel she didn't suffer as much as she should have. Though that's likely driven by my hatred towards people who think mothers have the right to groom their children however they want
Regardless, the biggest issue is that there really wasn't much storyline or character development. Just some dude's mother-daughter-sister incest fantasy

Though that's likely driven by my hatred towards people who think mothers have the right to groom their children however they want
Regardless, the biggest issue is that there really wasn't much storyline or character development. Just some dude's mother-daughter-sister incest fantasy

Si tratta del classico 'romanzo proibito' che sfidava la censura dei secoli scorsi. L'autore, un vago seguace di De Sade, trovandosi a sviluppare un tema borderline con l'inferno e ritenendo ormai evidentemente di non aver nulla da perdere, ci caccia dentro un po' di tutto: incesto, coprofagia, pedofilia, zoofilia ninfomania e chi più ne ha più che metta. È un 'romanzo erotico'? Non direi. Nella costante sfida provocatoria che percorre le sue pagine è assente l'eros, in qualunque sua sfumatura. Anzi, è proprio il concetto di 'sfumatura' ad essere estraneo all'autore.

Apparently, I first read in March 2010. No, that can't be right. This is when I gave it all these stars here... Actually I used to own a copy, maybe in 2008, but then I started lending it to friends, to friends' sisters, to their girlfriends. I kinda miss it.

A dirty, dirty, dirty book. Not for those who are into some light erotica. This is some perverse stuff. NOT RECOMMENDED for light weights.

Had to read it for a University Course - one of the most disturbing books I've ever read!

Bien moins érotique que son Aphrodite. Décevant.

Um livro antigo, erótico mas com um nível de devassidão sem qualquer pudor com vernáculo associado. Algo pesado, não é para qualquer um. É um livro bastante forte na linguagem.

Alors, j'avoue que je ne sais pas trop comment commenter ce que je viens de lire. Pris au premier degré, le tout est révoltant : pédophilie ( on assiste quand même à une relation entre une gamine de 10 ans et un adulte de 20 ans), zoophilie, inceste, coprophilie... Tout y passe. Alors, oui le livre est étrange, les femmes sont tellement folles de sexe et dévoyées que cela en devient grotesque. Du coup, je fais le choix de le prendre au second degré comme une sorte de bouffonnerie...Les dialogues de théâtre sont assez drôles, effectivement Lili a de la répartie, Teresa mérite assurément le titre de pire mère du monde et j'ai apprécié Charlotte, pauvre fille complètement pervertie et rendue folle par son éducation ...
Ce que j'aime : la pauvre Charlotte, l'humour des dialogues, la plume de l'auteur qui écrit bien
Ce que j'aime moins : le tout est révoltant pris au premier degré
En bref : Un roman dérangeant qui n'est pas à mettre entre toutes les mains et à prendre au second degré
Ma note
6/10

Chapitre III
Ne pas juger le passé avec la morale d’aujourd’hui ...
Le pédo, ça me dégoute. Hier, aujourd'hui, demain.
Chapitre III
Les bras autour du cou, elle me dit très vite, sur un ton d’excuse et de souci :
« J’ai dix ans. J’ai pas de poils. Est-ce que vous aimez ça ?
— Tu ne le diras pas à ta mère ?
— Non. Tenez. Regardez. J’ai pas de pantalon. C’est maman qui me l’a retiré pour pas qu’il y ait des taches de foutre.
— Mais c’est joli comme tout, ce que tu me montres là.
— J’enlève pas ma robe, dites ? Je me retrousse ?
— Oh ! le retroussé est immoral. Je n’aime les petites filles que toutes nues.
— C’est que…, fit-elle avec la franchise de sa nature…, ce que j’ai de mieux, c’est ma moniche et mon petit cul. Le reste est d’un moche !
— Je suis sûr que tout le reste est gentil.
— Vous allez voir. Et vous qui venez de coucher avec maman, quand vous regarderez mon corps de poulet, faudra que je vous travaille pendant un quart d’heure pour vous faire bander.
Ne pas juger le passé avec la morale d’aujourd’hui ...
Le pédo, ça me dégoute. Hier, aujourd'hui, demain.

J’ai hésité à ne mettre aucune étoile tant ce roman me laissait circonspecte. Il faut dire que je l’ai abordé depuis l’angle de l’histoire en pensant voir dans cette mère et ces filles, les filles de Heredia.
En réalité, le roman est une série de scènes pornographiques (rien n’étant suggéré, je ne le qualifierai pas d’érotique) décrites le plus crûment possible, entrecoupés de dialogues qui racontent l’histoire de comment ces trois filles (10, 14 et 20 ans) et leur mère (36 ans) sont devenues des putains.
En fin de compte, ces quatre personnages féminins apparaissent comme une seul et même femme à différents stades de sa vie.
Le plus intéressant est peut-être le rappel, incessant, du fait que ces femmes ne trouvent leur plaisir que dans leur clitoris. En ce sens, Louys est avant-garde.
J’avoue, pour ma part, avoir trouvé ce festival d’inceste, de pedophilie, de scatologie et de scènes de cul un poil indigeste !

The next logical extension after you've read Bataille's Story of the Eye. It shatters all limits, and is at times amusing, whilst also containing moments of pathos as the children's trauma is realised. Lauded by Sontag as an erotic masterpiece, and among Burroughs's top ten books, if you're seeking novelty, a transgression of conventionality, or an entertainingly ludic erotica, then try this one out, though it's not for those easily offended by e.g. incestuous perversities.
This OOP edition from Creation Books also includes a short sapphic text entitled The Erotic Adventures of Toinon, which takes place at a girls' boarding school.

- [x] TROIS FILLES DE LEUR MÈRE (exception, je n’ai pas pu finir ce livre tant il est horrible. Pour un « conseil lecture » on ne m’avait pas dit pourtant que c’était une horreur de pedophilie, et de proxenetisme. L’immonde écrivain que beaucoup aime a dire « artiste » nous parle avec fierté de la manière dont il se fait sucer et dont il sodomise des petites filles. Soyons clairs, ce n’est pas être subversif, ce n’est pas être un marginal intellectuel que d’apprécier l’horreur. Je suis terrifiée quand je vois que ce torchon reçoit autant de bon commentaire. Encore un écrivain « érotique » bien qu’il soit clairement pornographique à éviter.

I read this because Susan Sontag said it was one of the few works of pornography that could be considered literature. I expected this to mean it was very successful as pornography, much like a work of science fiction that's called literature is typically just very accomplished science fiction. The opposite was true, this was the least arousing novel I have ever read, though I can still see what Sontag meant. It's an exploration of sex as an all-encompassing obsession, and the result is, as I should have expected, thoroughly revolting.

I’m giving this three stars because I have no idea what else to do. I recently found a comment I’d made about this book when I was roughly 150 pages in, in which I said it was endlessly fascinating but not arousing. Whatever the case, at some point I got the vast majority of the book before putting it down for several months. I came back and finished it today, reading the last few chapters, and they were, quite frankly, not good. If I had to guess, I’d say it fell off about three quarters of the way through. I’m simply confused now.

It troubles me what can be desired of women and children, even so in the imagination of men. It is most cruel to make what has been made of a mother. Anyone wanting to enjoy at such degradation does not possess a soul.

I've read a few books of "erotica" before, but this was the first one that felt like it was written by an actual pervert. Yuck. This was a horrible book.

Entretenida pero deja de serlo cuando divaga mucho en los tabúes sexuales haciéndola poco creíble sin embargo una lectura distinta con un paradigma absoluto de placer sin ningún tapujo.
