My Secret Life

Subtitle: The Sex Diary of a Victorian Gentlemen Described as "pornographic writing of the most explicit and lascivious kind", My Secret Life was banned for decades in both Britain and the USA as pure porn. Only about 20 sets of My Secret Life were originally published around 1880, possibly in Amsterdam. Each set of eleven volumes cost around £50/ $100, the equivalent of £4000 / $8000 in today’s money. Sets were owned by Harold Lloyd, the American silent film comedian and producer, and George Mountbatten, the great-grandson of Queen Victoria. This edition of My Secret Life, is the first compendium of all eleven volumes. Uncensored and unexpurgated, it is also a remarkable social commentary of the times.
