Victorians often have a reputation for being pretty uptight when it comes to their sexuality. However, they also had lustful desires, just like we do now. From gay to straight sex, you can argue they weren’t that different from us in real life. But the way they went about it in public wasn’t exactly liberal and open-minded like today.
Our article aims to explore the world of Victorian England and its shady underground of sexual activities. Moreover, we’re going to talk about 19th-century pornography, erotic literature, and all other things worth your time. From Oscar Wilde to Aubrey Beardsley, we’ll cover all the juicy details. So, let’s jump straight into it. Shall we?
The Victorian age was a pretty weird time if you compare it to the world we live in today. And yes, that’s quite normal since so much time has passed between now and then. Either way, lots of people still find it fascinating in so many ways. Some primary reasons for such fascination are cultural views on sex and the overall human body.
Most mental and physical illnesses that they couldn’t explain medically would make people associate them with masturbation. Yup, they would link spanking your salami with all sorts of nasty diseases and mental disorders. Still, there was an element of hypocrisy in their views. People who would preach about morals would indulge in all sorts of perverse and kinky acts.
However, they didn’t ban sex by any means. And how could they, after all? Still, they would regulate sexuality yet allow artists to explore and exploit it. Therefore, 19th-century art is the best way to examine society’s views and ideas of male and female sexual identities and overall gender roles.
Since sex was such a big taboo, the situation would allow an underground promiscuous world to flourish. Also, many authors were subversive while writing their novels, including sex in between the lines. From Oscar Wild’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” to Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” sexual connotations were everywhere.
For all their high-minded principles, the Victorians had the same sexual desires as us. It’s simply a part of human nature, and no law or discrimination can change it. Hence, they would enjoy sexual activities just like we do nowadays. From gay to hetero, there were all sorts of things going on at the time.
By the late 19th century, homosexuality became a counterculture of sorts. People would view it as a form of decadent Ancient Greek lifestyle. Aubrey Beardsley’s drawings are the best examples of this, showing all kinds of gay activities between Victorian males. People still consider his work to be Victorian-era pornography.
However, male action wasn’t the only provoking thing that people would enjoy in 19th century Britain. Female homosexuality was a big part of that era as well. Namely, the most famous lesbians were Anne Lister, and poet Katherine Bradley and her niece Edith. Furthermore, female independence was also a big thing among some women of that time. See more history of Victorians here.
Classical art is no stranger to depicting naked women and men. However, the Victorians took it to a new level. Beginning with drawings and paintings, they took the new art form of photography in a naughty direction. Of course, this led to some of the first examples of Victorian pornography.
Later on, they would invent techniques that would allow a person to see pictures in 3D. Sure, it wasn’t as high-end as modern tech, but it gave them a chance to experience sex in a brand-new way. Some would argue that it’s the same as when the internet broke into the mainstream, and people immediately began to search for porn online. But that only goes to show how big of a role sex plays in our lives.
Not even a society like Victorian Britain could contain the human desire for sex and primal needs. Sure, they might have ruled half the world, but they couldn’t cage the force of nature that is human sexuality. The only thing they did was invite an elephant into the room. Making something taboo means that people will only crave it more.
No one can’t fight and win against the human spirit. Many try, but they all eventually end down on their knees. Hence, we want to point out how there’s no need to fight this losing battle at all. Moreover, there’s nothing to fight against.
Sex is a part of who we are. It doesn’t matter if you see it as a way of reproduction or a way of enjoying your body. It’s not something bad or shameful — it’s only normal. Hence, don’t hesitate to do what you feel like when you’re with your partner or alone.
Enjoy life; enjoy sex. Whether you’re gay, straight, bi, cis, or trans, it all works fine in our eyes. The only real thing to keep in mind is safety and consent. Sex is only great when there’s no actual danger to it and when all partners agree to participate.
Unfortunately, it seems like we’re not that far from the 19th century. Rape, sexual abuse, and homophobia still exist. Only, we’re talking about it more openly these days. We guess that’s something to be proud of if anything. Nevertheless, enjoy your body, sexuality, and don’t try to keep your desires in chains as some did before because you won’t win.

The Pneumatics of Hero of Alexandria
The Victorian period, saw an unprecedented output of erotic fiction, often written by 'hacks'. Some works, however, borrowed from established literary models, such as Dickens. It also featured a curious form of social stratification . Even in the throes of orgasm, the social distinctions between master and servant (including form of address) were scrupulously observed. Significant elements of sado-masochism were present in some examples, perhaps reflecting the influence of the English public school , where flagellation was routinely used as a punishment. These clandestine works were often anonymous or written under a pseudonym, and sometimes undated, thus definite information about them often proves elusive.
English erotic novels from this period include The Lustful Turk (1828); The Romance of Lust (1873); The Convent School, or Early Experiences of A Young Flagellant (1876) by Rosa Coote [pseud.]; The Mysteries of Verbena House , or, Miss Bellasis Birched for Thieving (1882) by Etonensis [pseud.], actually by George Augustus Sala and James Campbell Reddie ; The Autobiography of a Flea (1887); Venus in India (1889) by 'Captain Charles Devereaux'; Flossie, a Venus of Fifteen: By one who knew this Charming Goddess and worshipped at her shrine (1897) and My Lustful Adventures by 'Ramrod'.
The centre of the trade in such material in England at this period was Holywell Street, off the Strand, London. An important publisher of erotic material in the early 19th century was George Cannon (1789–1854), followed in mid-century by William Dugdale (1800–1868) and John Camden Hotten (1832–1873).
 An important and entertaining conspectus and evaluation of 19th century (pre-1885) and earlier underground erotica, from the author's own private archive, is provided by Victorian writer Henry Spencer Ashbee in his bibliographical trilogy Index Librorum Prohibitorum (1877), Centuria Librorum Absconditorum (1879) and Catena Librorum Tacendorum (1885). His plot summaries of the works he discusses in these privately printed volumes are themselves a contribution to the genre. Originally of very limited circulation, changing attitudes have led to his work now being widely available.
 Notable European works of erotica at this time were Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess (1833) by Frenchman Alfred de Musset and Venus in Furs (1870) by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. The latter erotic novella brought the attention of the world to the phenomenon of masochism, named after the author.
 Towards the end of the century, a more "cultured" form of erotica began to appear by such as the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne who pursued themes of paganism, lesbianism and sado-masochism in such works as Lesbia Brandon and in contributions to The Whippingham Papers (1888) edited by St George Stock, author of The Romance of Chastisement (1866). This was associated with the Decadent movement, in particular, with Aubrey Beardsley and the Yellow Book. But it was also to be found in France, amongst such writers as Pierre Louys, author of Les chansons de Bilitis (1894) (a celebration of lesbianism and sexual awakening).
 Important publishers of erotic fiction at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the twentieth were Leonard Smithers (1861–1907) and Charles Carrington (1867–1921), both of whom were subject to legal injunctions from the British authorities in order to prohibit their trade in such material. Because of this legal harassment the latter conducted his business from Paris. Erotic fiction published by Carrington at this period includes Raped on the Railway: a True Story of a Lady who was first ravished and then flagellated on the Scotch Express (1894) and The Memoirs of Dolly Morton (1899) set on a slave-plantation in the Southern States of America.
 Early 20th century erotic fiction includes such classics of the genre as: Suburban Souls (1901), published by Carrington and possibly written by him also; The Confessions of Nemesis Hunt (issued in three volumes 1902, 1903, 1906), probably by George Reginald Bacchus, printed by Duringe of Paris for Leonard Smithers in London; Josephine Mutzenbacher (1906) by Felix Salten; Sadopaideia (1907) by Anon (possibly Algernon Charles Swinburne); Les Mémoires d'un jeune Don Juan (1907) and the somewhat disturbing Les onze mille verges (1907) by Guillaume Apollinaire; The Way of a Man with a Maid (1908)
It is with some sense of humor that a lot of these anonymous works are now published under the pseudonym 'A Pukka Swiver'.
'Pukka' is an adjective meaning genuine or excellent; the verb 'to swive' was common until Shakespeare where modern English uses 'to fuck'.
Thus 'A Pukka Swiver' is someone who is excellent at fucking. Instead of Superman one might call him a Superfucker.

There is very little that is new under the sun, so it stands to reason that erotic photography flourished in the 19th century as an early passion of the first generation of photographers. From posed studio nudes to the exotic naturalism of nude Africans unselfconsciously attending to the chores of tribal life, much of this vintage eroticism is either Pictorialist or documentarian in nature, and a good many of its photographers remain anonymous. But there is no denying the daring ambition and, often, the elegance of the medium's earliest purveyors of erotica.
At the same time, the camera was an inevitable accomplice in a new era of pornography, and there are anonymous images of men and women sexually cavorting, though the photos that survive tend to be less explicit than we have come to expect.
In this exhibit, many photographs tend toward the studied and serenely Victorian, with female nudes demurely posed. Whether in lingerie or haughtily contextualized in a boudoir, these nudes are early exemplars of the male gaze, displayed as sexual trophies and objectified as the only the camera can. It would not be too long before Picasso’'s modernist paintings would fracture the planes of traditional nudity, but in the meantime 19th-century photographers were breaking ground well enough on their own.
Thus, the likes of Pierre (Auguste) Delbet, Felix Moulin, and Emile Reutlinger staged their nudes as statuesque players in a carefully lit and furnished theater of classical grace and gesture. The erotic purpose of such studio work is apparent, yet the determined artistry of the photographers, who were pushing the bounds of propriety in a new medium, is equally evident.
The quality of many of these images--as compositions of human expressiveness and experiments in suggestive lighting and formal ambition--is high. At their best, these early photographers were seeking to meet such classical inspirations as the Venus de Milo or Michelangelo’s sculpture on equal ground. The irony is that the camera has always had a harder time idealizing the human form, in all its realism and naturalism, than the original plastic arts were able to do before photography joined them. But these early images certainly set a standard for erotic display that endures. We see it in the work of many modern and postmodern photographers who struggle to make more of the human body than a merely sexual object.
