LUSTFUL LIT

Daisy’s favourite literary sex scenes…

Janey and Billy in the woods Riders, Jilly Cooper Janey’s desire dictates everything that happens. She wants him, and her lust is what makes Billy (and us) swoon.

Maria and Jennifer experiment together

The Valley

Of The Dolls, Jacqueline Susann

Movie star Jennifer North experiments with a schoolfriend, and this book gave me permission to lead a fantasy life in which I was allowed to fancy everyone.

Prince Abdullah and the goldfish Lace, Shirley Conran I don’t think any one of the millions of readers of Lace really wanted to introduce a goldfish to the bedroom, but the idea is so shocking and exotic that it’s become the stuff of literary legend.

Edie and Eric’s second date Luster, Raven Leilani

Leilani’s genius lies in her ability to write a sex scene with no actual sex. Edie’s sexual appetite is described so deftly that when Eric slides a hand up her dress, it’s hotter than anything that happens in all of the Fifty

Shades books put together.
