When the strict and hard rules of married life prevented the total expression of free love, the most fashionable couples in Paris did something about it. The Love Sect was the result; an exclusive and intimate society where everyone tossed off their restraint along with their clothes in a frantic and thrill-seeking grope for new, untried pleasures . . . and partners in sex. Passions unleashed, they became insatiable in their quest for the unusual and the bizarre, unaware that they were sowing the seeds of their own, destruction. Now in an unexpurgated English translation, The Love Sect is a vivid and shocking account of unbridled and licentious orgies celebrated in the intolerance and decay of fin de siecle society.
