The Shunga Tales - Paperback

by Larry Knipfing (Author)

A young American learns more about sex than he expected from an unlikely teacher-a woman old enough to be his grandmother! But the woman has a plan to seduce Max by stimulating his mind with a night of erotic art and amazing stories of sexual escapades. And Max is ripe for the fall! Max, a young American man tired of feeling neglected by his girlfriend, attends a party and meets a stranger who gives him a private showing of her unique collection of erotic ukiyo-e art. Murasaki is a rich Japanese woman in her 70's who has spent her life collecting expensive, sexy art pieces. In fact, unbeknownst to Max, she's an artist of erotica herself. When the two meet, Murasaki sees an opportunity to take on a new "student," and perhaps, a new lover as well. But her approach is different; experienced in the art of seduction, Murasaki sets out to capture Max's mind first because she knows his body will follow. And Max? He's hoping to get one of her paintings out of the deal. Between the art, Murasaki's intriguing aura, and Dai-Dai, a beautiful young woman who teases him with sexy tales, Max's senses are tantalized, leaving him ripe for Murasaki's plan to seduce him in every way. The whole experience exposes Max to a new world of sex, eroticism, and lovemaking-a world from which he doesn't want to escape. The seduction of Max is complete.
