I'm not particularly a big fan of James Joyce's actual literary works, however, I've always enjoyed his letters to his wife, Nora Barnacle. From flogging to fart sniffing, Joyce was into it all: http://arlindo-correia.com/joyce.html http://theamericanreader.com/december-13-1909-james-joyce-to-nora-barnacle-joyce/ And if you want the cliff notes, you can skip to some of the dirtest parts here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexnaidus/the-dirtiest-excerpts-from-james-joyces-letters?utm_term=.mm9nZew0b3#.yeQ2l07Bv3 I am greatly amused that he refers to her as "Fuck Bird."

I first became aware of the literature of Georges Bataille six or seven years ago, from a translator I knew. As a fan of French Literature, I took to him right away (and especially enjoyed his pervy scenes. ) Bataille's text "The Story of the Eye" can up in another thread, so I figured I would post a link to where you can read a number of his works: http://supervert.com/elibrary/georges_bataille/

"Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a god for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a god, and we all know that they are not as tender as all that. You have already seen me cry. Now you must learn to relish my tears." Story of O, Pauline Reage, 1958
