I can't say much of it was very "erotic" but as a cultural piece, an indication of what was acceptable 100+ years ago, it's quite interesting. By the end it gets more than repetitive and the last couple of "conquests" were drawn out and uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Not a book for anyone other than the really curious or perverted. (
