Turkish Delight
Want some totally inappropriate TMI?
Am currently reading THE JOURNAL OF DORA DAMAGE by Belinda Starling, a really witty and charming historical-fiction novel in which a bookbinder's wife finds herself having to bind works of pornography to support her family. Anyway, at one stage she's having a conversation with her aristocratic employer, and he gives her a taste of lokum, aka "Turkish Delight".
Then he paused, as if to take in the furious action of my jaws, and smiled languidly. He stroked his chin with his long fingers, leant forward to me and whispered, "Can you guess why the lokum is so fashioned, my dear?" I shook my head again, chewing. "The diamond shape," he whispered, so that Jack would not hear, "may be pressed between the outer lips of a woman's nether orifices by her lover, and then licked out of her. It drives them both mad with delight and desire, or so I am told." I choked, and spluttered white and yellow confection into my hands, as Sir Jocelyn leant back to enjoy my reaction.
