Autobiography of a Flea 

’The Autobiography of a Flea’ was initally published in 1887, and inspired a film directed by one of the first female pornographic directors from the 1970s. Starring the inimitable John C Holmes, it is recognised as a classic example of the x-rated genre.Can men of the cloth ever escape temptation?A young maiden, Bella, and her boyfriend Charlie consummate their passion under the moonlight, shrouded in petticoats. Little do they know that someone has been watching them – a priest – who blackmails Bella over the sight he has witnessed, enslaving her into a world of sexual subservience.’The Autobiography of a Flea’ is narrated by the smallest voyeur of them all, who uses his size to avenge Bella’s misfortune, revealing the sordid details of a priest’s inner sanctum.
