Venus in Furs ch.2 (Patreon)

The long awaited second installment! I have procrastinated this so long because of all the names but I finally just powered through it. Remember this is a book written in the 1800's but a white guy so some terms/statements are not things anyone would say to this day. That being said since this is where we get the term "Masochist" I felt it was important to read and a great place to start with erotic book club.

Includes: The Goddess Venus, stories told from experience, lots of dead old man and philosophy, honestly you will feel like you walked into a philosophy class and someone is trying to sound deep, the bible, BDSM, dreams, painting, art, me mangling words
