I've been considering buying this book. I came here to read and find out other's impressions of the book also. Thankyou for posting your thoughts of it, I will buy it tomorrow so I may see for myself. It sounds wonderful, not so much the eroticism of the writing, but in its portrayal of the persons having, enjoying, wanting and pursueing the sex.

Catullus typo was an editor faux-pas. It's been changed.

The _Greek_ poet Catullus?
Is that some kind of code?

"Uno ictu ad medullas pervenire videbatur. Tum se detraxit, et in sinu quaerens pulviscum invenit qui vocatur thalami voluptas et fascinum redolens, et in ore ranae posuit."
If you are smart-assed enough not to provide translations of Latin porn in your article (particularly when this passage seems to involve something as intersting as getting a blow-job from a frog), you are absolutely obliged to get basic facts of classical literature right. It is embarrassingly ignorant in this context to refer to Catullus as a Greek poet.

There is a new translation of Golden Lotus with the Latin sections rendered into English. My professor told me that during his undergrad years his friends often asked him to translate. There are some delightful parts that slipped through the original translator's victorian sensibilities however, such as when one women is fucked over so completely by her lover that "the whites of her eyes were turned red."
