Writing has an unparalleled influence in human history. Through writing, we create a world in our minds and experience our own existence through the characters we create. No wonder our sexuality, writing, and cultural history are so closely intertwined... Or rather, something contains something.

Othello, Othello

Mr. Shakespeare was good at telling stories, but unfortunately, he completely misunderstood the story of Othello and Desdemona. What is less known is that Othello's obsession was "having an affair" - in other words, he willingly encouraged his wife to sleep with other men because it brought him pleasure - and he even encouraged his young wife Desdemona to have "two-back beasts" sex with other men as long as he could watch.

Othello, as a soldier, controlled everything in his life, including his sex life. In the bedroom, he instructed his subordinates on how to behave, which made him feel extremely satisfied. Although Desdemona thought that Othello's insistence on speaking in iambic pentameter during sex was very distracting, she still felt grateful that "God made her into such a man".

Becky Sharp, Vanity Fair

"So, young ladies, be cautious; be mindful of your behavior. Be ashamed to love openly; never pour out all your feelings, or (a better way to put it is), try to feel less." - "Vanity Fair"

For the illegitimate daughter of a French opera singer in the Regency era of London, the chances of climbing the social ladder were extremely slim. Becky Sharp had neither money nor a family nor connections. She used her only assets - intelligence and sex appeal - as weapons. The life of a prostitute during the Regency era was precarious, but it provided opportunities for women like Becky to become wealthy.

Becky Sharp is highly skilled in the art of seduction and domination. For her, sex is not just a form of pleasure, but a power game. Her ability to be flirtatious is also well-known. Becky is naturally a sadist. What she loves most is to make wealthy men submit to her and make them her loyal slaves - of course, the prerequisite is that she can receive the corresponding rewards.

Sherlock Holmes, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

The consulting detective Sherlock Holmes had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He was known for avoiding love and romance in an "irrational" manner. So, where would a dandy of the Victorian era go to seek irresponsible rational sexual behavior? According to the police reports of the 19th century, there were 139 brothels and 526 "disreputable women" in the Marybone area of London. Holmes lived at 221B Baker Street, right in the center of Marybone. The "Swyer Nightlife Guide" was published in the 1830s and 1840s, detailing the places where gentlemen could seek comfort. According to the "Swyer Nightlife Guide", at the Westmore Square corner of Baker Street, there was a place called "The Noisy Place of Miss Blackwell", which "was open all night and provided accommodation for the fallen men in the community". Would Sherlock choose the services offered there? Well, it's basic.
