I've made no secret of my love of the work of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. I'll be first in line for The Libertine, I have copies both expurgated and unexpurgated of most of his poetry.

So is it too much to ask for this?

THE world's first known piece of printed pornography, described as the 'quintessence of debauchery', is expected to reach up to $84,000 when it is auctioned next month.

Sodom, penned in the mid-1670s, has been attributed to John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester and is described by auction house Sotheby's as a "closet drama rather than for the stage" with pornography "in almost every line".


Dear Santa,

I want to be such a naughty girl. If you were to give me this...
