Reply to comment by DasherPack in TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack

Yep, wow. Victorian literary porn.

Best title: "SUB-UMBRA, OR SPORT AMONG THE SHE-NOODLES"

She-noodles. I still don't know what that means.

Didn't know I was missing out on it by skipping it
