we had been looking at. He selected two packets, and then coming
back to the easy chair in which I had been sitting, he sat down, and
wished to draw me on his knee.

This, however, I did not allow, but I sat down on the arm of the chair
allowing him to put his arm round my waist. He exhibited some more
illustrations of luscious scenes, many of which were new to me, and I
did not attempt to conceal the effect which was produced upon me, while
I told him, which was the case, that I had never seen anything of the
kind more beautifully designed and executed. I could see that he was
watching the impression made not only on my face but also on another
part of my person, which had now become somewhat prominent. He seemed
satisfied with this, and then opened the other packet, which was a
series of drawings executed by a first-rate artist in the most
admirable style delineating the seduction of a beautiful young boy of
about fifteen by another handsome youth a few years older. Every scene
in the progress was illustrated by an appropriate and admirably drawn
portrait of the two characters, commencing with taking him on his knee
and impressing the first amorous kiss; the laying of his hand upon the
organ of pleasure; the maiden bashfulness of first feeling the naked
weapon grasped by a strange hand; the first starting out of the
beautiful object on the trousers being unloosened; the full development
of all its beauties on their being removed; the drawing his bridle over
the fiery little head of the charger; the playing with the beautiful
little appendices; the opening the thighs to get a glimpse of the seat
of pleasure behind; the turning him round to obtain a full view of the
exquisite hindquarters; the first exposure to his gaze of the second
actor in the scene of pleasure; the making him caress and play with it;
the complete exposure of all their naked charms as their shirts are
drawn over their heads; the close embrace as they strain each other in
their arms; the turning him round to present the altar for the
sacrifice; the entrance; the combat; the extasy; the offering the
recompensing pleasure; the introducing the virgin weapon for the first
time; the ardour of the first enjoyment; the first tribute and the
mutual embrace of thanks as they kissed and caressed each other's
organs of pleasure after the work happily was accomplished. All these
were depicted with a beauty and a truth to nature that forcibly
reminded me of my own
