Résumé

Gamiani ou, Une Nuit d'Excès, was the 1st really important work to come from the 19th century French presses. It's still one of the most erotically explicit works to come from any French press. Its author is supposed to have been Alfred de Musset (1810-57) & the eponymous heroine a portrait of his lover, George Sand. A young man observes her & a young girl, obligingly named Fanny, engaged in their lesbian bed. Having watched them & provoked by their gay abandonment, he reveals himself, joins them & they spend the night alternately sharing their intimate histories & their bodies in orgies of almost religious intensity. Unsurprisingly religious, as the stories they tell include the rape of one in a monastery & the nearly fatal debauchment of another in a convent, as well as encounters with a number of animals; a ménagerie à trois, as it were. Their night of excess is both explicitly aural & explicitly oral, & ends in Countess Gamiani's gasps: "I am dying in an agony of pleasure, an agony of suffering. I can't stand it any more. Simultaneously the four of us achieved the most wonderful sensations, climaxing together & each of us experiencing an intense orgasm. What ardent enjoyment of taste to my palate! What delicious, intoxicating overflow in my entrails! Can you conceive these excesses? Just think of it! To suck in one's mouth all of a man's love juice & strength, to drink it down impatiently, to swallow it in waves of foam both warm & bitter, & at the same time to feel a double jet of flame enter your body by its two lower orifices at once. It's a triple pleasure, impossible to describe adequately."
