good BDSM literature often acts as a theoretical explication of kink and as good smut at the same time, and Experimental Lecture is no different. like the much earlier Georgian era porn novel Manon La Fouetteuse: Or, the Quintessence of Birch Discipline, this dares to imagine a world where women are sexually aware and active, where people know what a clitoris is, where kink is an essentially commonplace practice only barely concealed by the thin chemise of propriety, where whipping and caning is a craft. in Experimental Lecture female characters are powerful sadists and willing submissives as well as the unconsenting victims of sexual torture, meaning that while this might challenge the normie view of feminism it is much more reflective of real life and advanced ideologically than even vanilla pornographic standards today (which porn, bear in mind, involves real people and not fictional characters and so is much more dangerous). all sex demands a critical approach, but I continually find to my great delight that BDSM embraces and expands critical thinking around fucking. i am not a hardcore sadist so some of the sequences did not hit for me but overall I think it was hot and good.
