What’s the Filthiest Book You’ve Ever Read?

So back in the '70s, my mom read a lot (still does, but that's not at issue here), and a lot of what she read wasn't appropriate for my ten year-old eyes. Still, we didn't have a TV, we lived in northern New Hampshire, and there wasn't a lot to do, so I read everything I could find.
And one book scarred me for life: In it, a man was at some sort of orgy and on some sort of mind-altering substance, and was pouring honey onto his appendage while a dog licked it off.
That was the filthiest thing I've ever read. Ugh, shudder, etc.

Laurell K. Hamilton comes to mind. Still doesn't hold a candle to some of the things you come across on the Internet, though.

Anne Rice's Beauty Trilogy. It was a bit hard core for an intro to the genre, may still be a bit hard core 10 years later.

It was just this past year and I'm too afraid to go look up the title again because I only just managed to wipe it out of my head a month or so ago. It was recommended as one of those "if you like this, you'll like that" sort of things when I bought an Annabel Joseph book but this was seriously hardcore BDSM. Terrifyingly hardcore.

Pony play over a weekend w/a lodge full of people "using" the "h" who was the pony & she was literally stabled, she had to clean her master's rear end orally, he used piercings to close her vagina when he wasn't using it. I'm horrifying myself all over again.

Not considered erotic but filled with many disturbing sex scene is American Psycho. I was scarred when the the protagonist Patrick put a starved rat in a tube and stuck it up a drugged up prostitute's hoo haa and watched while the rat ate the woman from the inside. Patrick found his own sexual release that way.

The only time I ran into the bathroom and almost vomited.

I recently read an erotic "romance" that I don't want to name (don't want to give it free advertising) but it contained a graphic rape fantasy. It's one thing to read a "rape" scene in a silly pirate romance but a hero (who works with children in his day job, no less) and who hides in the bushes outside the heroine's home and violently attacks her just turned my stomach. It wasn't something he asked her about beforehand either, and in fact he's later unsure if she even knew it was him. It bothered me for days.

I can't remember the name of it (thank god) but it involved a couple that practiced BDSM slave role playing 24/7 and she was his "dog." Literally she lived like a dog 24/7. Slept in a doggie bed, had sex like a dog, had sex with other people who acted like dogs and real dogs. At 20 years old it scarred me for life. 0_O

Seven Days in Sydney (and I don't mean Australia)

In high school, I once read a book that rated the top ten most erotic books of the time and then proceeded to give the best scene out of each book. The number one scene involved a man sticking his fingers down the throat of the woman until she gagged and threw up into his mouth, which made him throw up into her mouth, which in turn made her throw up into his mouth. . . And round and round they went until they past out. I believe I threw up after reading that.

@JanineD: I read about that book in the Book of Lists, I think, and was so totally grossed out even just reading about it, not the scene itself. Ugh!!

I scarred y'all on twitter with this news, but I read Anne Rice's 'Sleeping Beauty' books when I was 16. That came about because my mom was reading the Lestat series and I'd already borrowed [without her knowledge] her 'Exit To Eden' and 'Cry to Heaven' books to read so I was like "oh I know that author and like her stuff!". IF I'D ONLY KNOWN!!

Before that, I'd read Jean Auel's 'Valley of Horses' & 'Mammoth Hunters' when I was 11 (Thank you, Beverly Hill public library) after reading 'Clan of The Cave Bear' the prior year. Those has some pretty detailed sex scenes though nothing on 'Sleeping Beauty'. ::shudders::

I'm a very open-minded person and I'm not gonna deny that I loves me some smut on occasion. Jayne Rylon's Powertools series is pervtastic goodness. When I'm in the mood for a little mindless book porn, I usually turn to her. Her most recent book in the series Devon's Pair was the filthiest book I've read. Did I like it? Oh. Hell. Yeah.

As I said in another comment (probably on "What to read after Fifty Shades of Grey" article, actually), my first approach to "erotic literature" was with the Marquis de Sade's books. I was 14 at the time but, even if I've read some pretty twisted things since then, I must say that Sade's 120 Days of Sodom is still kind of a filthy book my most standards.
Basically, 4 libertine psychopath men lock themselves into a castle with 42 "victims" (their wives + young kidnapped boys and girls) and proceed to torture them following the stories told by 4 brothel keepers. The torture acts get worse and worse throughout the book and end basically in murdering every victim, one way or another. Of course, it's typical Sade style : well written, sometimes funny, most of the time disgusting, always clever. I loved it, though I was glad that the book remained unfinished, I really dread to think what more could have been done to the victims, brr. Pasolini's film adaptation wasn't as good as the book (libertine philosophy being replaced by political considerations).

I used to read a books from a publisher called Blue Moon Books. Most of them dealt with "pony play," S&M, and BSDM play. The wildest one I read had to do with two teenage girls summering across Europe and who end up getting kidnapped by a shiek (or something like that) in a weird slave girl/harem. I can't remember any of the specifics but I do believe they might have been some red hot chilli peppers in the hoo hah. *shiver*

I somehow ended up reading a book from Smashwords by Jay Mershon. Bad.

Does Jackie Collins' Hollywood Husbands count? I found that somewhere when I was 10 and...o.O

Other than that, Anne Rice wrote some delicious smut under the names Anne Rampling and A.N. Roquelaure.

I believe the Hot Blood series would have to count for me -- way out of my comfort zone and I have read some really trashy, steamy, graphic, etc., things in my life . . .

In my young teens I read the book version of The Omen.
It was actually the 3rd movie, when he is all grown up.
Taking into consideration who he was supposed to be the book
probably wasn't that bad but at that time in life I found the scene
where he sodomized her very disturbing ... i still think about it
at odd moments.....

@Lafka: Yeah, the Marquis wrote the most disturbing stuff I've ever read, and I used to read those icky nasty porn books that booksellers kept behind the counter.

de Sade's books were just disgusting. The sexual activities depicted were pretty awful, but it's the philosophy expressed in the thoughtful, contemplative breaks in the torture routine that squicked me.

I read Juliette, and I somehow read most of Justine. 120 Days Of Sodom just turned me right off; I did my read-in-reverse thing, and after reading the last few pages, just walked away and never went back to the Marquis.

Well I believe hands down the book Wildcard by Lora Leigh! I mean talk about hard core porn! But the characters were soooo wonderful, and I mean sure it was vivid and wild se scenes, but I loved the book!

I am scarred just from reading some of these recaps. Clean him from behind with her tongue?! Throw up in each other's mouths?! OMG.

For me, the Beauty series by Anne Rice, which I loved. But it's not for everyone.

@ Rose In RoseBear _ I actually like the Marquis de Sade's books. I mean, he was obviously twisted, but he's also a great philosopher _ his opinions on freedom or religious matters, for instance, are quite fascinating, whether you share them or not. Besides his clandestine books (such as 120 days, Justine...), he also wrote very interesting "official books", sometimes erotic but not as pornographic as the said clandestine books.
The sex scenes he wrote, oh yes, definitely disgusting and freakish. He got imprisonned for that, for more than 25 years. His books are certainly not for the faint heart, nor for impressionable minds. When you read his books, you certainly understand why he gave his name to a sexual perversion. So far, even the most "hardcore" BDSM romance or not books I've read _ including Anne Rice's Beauty trilogy, or Annabel Joseph and Anneke Jacob's books (which involve pony play, piercings, total power exchange, and so on), don't come anywhere close to Sade's in terms of perversion. Ick.

Good smutty, smutt-smutt? Allex K. Bell- My Initiation or My First Time, fair writing, zero plot, sex sex sex(please note that they are m/m/m/m/m/m). Or for something with a plot, Sin by Sharon Page.

Chayton's Twins from The Six Master's Island series by Candance Smith, squicked me out. Kidnapping, rape, permanent body modification(involuntary), it still makes me nauseous.

the "Wolf Tales" series, by Kate Douglas gets pretty filthy. I don't enjoy books that simply go from sex scene to sex scene. I like some good plot with my filth.

For some reason my post didn't go through. :(

Anyway, what I said was that Victorian Era "romance" novels are the filthiest things I've ever read. Zoophilia (of all sorts), pedophilia (of all sorts), incest (of all sorts), m/m (+ and all variations of), f/f (+ and all variations of), BDSM (of all kinds), fecalphilia, urolagnia... and anything else you can imagine! They're mostly written by upper class brits, though there are some by americans (all can usually be found under the pen-name "Anonymous"). And a lot of them care available for free download -- often from the National Archives!

MFrampton hi do you remember the title of the book or author you listed I also can recall reading this book but for the life of me can't remember the title. Thanks

During the late 60's and in the 1970's adult book stores sprung up all over the USA. As a young adult I would visit these establishments and normally I would leave with a purchase of at least one so called "one handed novel" these books had slick provocative covers depicting the subject matter of the book which covered all sex activities from A to Z. I still visit these stores from time to time but the adult novel book area of the stores have dwindled to almost nothing.Now days most older books of this type are sold as collector items and demand high prices.

@Leelee, I wish I did! I wouldn't advise googling for it--the results might be way worse than the book.
I did think it might be titled Majorca? Does that ring a bell at all?
