The story is ... not exactly erotica. Erotic situations, more. I have fond
memories of getting really pissed off when I read it as a teenager. (I have
no idea why my parents had it on the shelves, and I don't think they even
noticed I was reading it.) The narrator is the last of the group of
schoolgirls who set up a brothel (aimed at the schoolboys across the way)
to service a customer, but just as I was anticipating actually getting to
read a sex scene, the author pulls a fast one -- her client is a childhood
friend and they both find the idea of actually being intimate too
embarrassing to attempt.
Such the cheat!
I can totally see a British theater toning the content down just enough to
get it by any censors, while still keeping it scandalous enough to be
successful by infamy.
