 The English answer to this was "Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" (later abridged and renamed "Fanny Hill") written in 1748 by John Cleland.While the text satirised the literary conventions and fashionable manners of 18th century England, it was more scandalous for depicting a woman, the narrator, enjoying and even reveling in sexual acts with no dire moral or physical consequences.The text is hardly explicit as Cleland wrote the entire book using euphemisms for sex acts and body parts, employing 50 different ones just for the term penis.
