Oh yes, Shakespeare references pop up everywhere,
including in
Desires For Youth, a
1970s porn book by Stan Adams. This book is actually well written, particularly
considering its genre, and it contains a humorous reference to
The Comedy Of Errors. In a story in
which a young man hopes to woo the family’s maid, Adams writes: “
I got to her ass one day when there was no
one in the house but the two of us. At the time I thought it was my big
seduction scene, but now as I look back on it, it was more like a hilarious
comedy of eros” (p. 123). What a surprising play with language!
Desires For Youth
was published in 1976 by Aquarius 7 Publishers, and is part of the Bedroom
Publications series.
