[http://www.criminalwisdom.com/hysterical-literature-the-orgasm-as-art/](http://www.criminalwisdom.com/hysterical-literature-the-orgasm-as-art/) Literature and orgasm, what a combination! Women reading from their favorite works of fiction while being pleasured underneath the table…now that’s unexpectedly erotic. ---

I would be too distracted to finish, both the book and myself. What a strange concept. ---

I think a NSFW tag for this thread would be apropos. ---

They’re faking it. They can’t read. ---

Proof of my nerdiness: I wish the literature were better. But yeah, NSFW is probably a good idea. ---

That vibrator is really quiet. ---

Added the NSFW warning to the thread title and put the link in a spoiler box to make it comply with our two-click rule. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Added the NSFW warning to the thread title and put the link in a spoiler box to make it comply with our two-click rule. Interesting, I thought about the 2-click rule, but there’s not anything NSFW on the page unless you actually watch the videos… ---

…or read Stoya’s remarks. Or Google her and find she is not an amateur, except maybe at reading aloud, though she has experience speaking lines. Or… _ahem_ Truly an inspirational student of both literature and the kind of art supposedly kept in [the Vatican Library.](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/63/does-the-vatican-have-the-worlds-largest-pornography-collection) Not that I was investigating in anything but a chaste manner as an appreciator of both art and literature, of course. ---

Listening to them with headphones, I can hear the “helper”. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Proof of my nerdiness: I wish the literature were better.. Yes, I was disappointed that the climax of Joyce’s _Ulyssess_ was unrepresented. Brett Easton Ellis was the most appealling author for me, there - and I mostly came away from _American Pyscho_ with the impression that it was the dullest and most pointless thing I’ve forced myself to get through. I mean, it might be compared to Joyce, because it makes use of a barrage of lists and other stream-of-consciousness gimmicks that don’t drive the narrative in any way, but Mr. Ellis didn’t distract us from any of that by confusing it with anything that might be interpreted as clever or interesting. Appropriate material, though - seeing as it is so much wank. ---

> [@Larry\_Mudd](#): > > Yes, I was disappointed that the climax of Joyce’s _Ulyssess_ was unrepresented. That was my first thought, but if acted well it doesn’t need a vibrator. Saw a young actress (Lolita Davidovich?) perform Molly Bloom’s soliloquy on I think it was Mike Douglas and it was definitely NSFW or daytime TV. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Proof of my nerdiness: I wish the literature were better. > > But yeah, NSFW is probably a good idea. Now I’d really like to hear the one woman read _A Clockwork Orange_ without having an orgasm. I had forgotten how good a writer Burgess is. ---

If you can, seek out _[James Joyce’s Women](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089364/reference)_ with Fionnula Flanagan. Her performance of Molly Bloom is powerfully erotic. ---
