Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned for obscenity in the United States in 1929. In 1930, US Senator Bronson Cutting proposed an amendment to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which was being debated, to end the practice of having US Customs censor allegedly obscene imported books. Senator Reed Smoot vigorously opposed such an amendment and threatened to read indecent passages of imported books publicly in front of the Senate. Although he never followed through, he included Lady Chatterley's Lover as an example of an obscene book that must not reach domestic audiences and declared, "I've not taken ten minutes on Lady Chatterley's Lover, outside of looking at its opening pages. It is most damnable! It is written by a man with a diseased mind and a soul so black that he would obscure even the darkness of hell!"[31

It has the vaguest description of anal sex that obviously set off the heart palpitations of the puritans

I listened to this audiobook during work over a decade ago and all I remember is the groundskeeper saying "You have the nicest nicest arse" and the narrator's voice saying it lives rent free in my brain all the time.

I can’t listen to audiobooks that have sex in them, or books that describe how sexy someone is. I truly don’t know how other people do it. I’ve listened to books where people kiss, or make out, and even that is too much. I cringe every time.

[mrscantelope]

Now that I think about it, this was the first and last time I did! Maybe because once "nicest nicest arse" got lodged in to my brain I knew I didn't need anything else in there

Your subconscious decided you had been scarred enough 😂

Jack O'Connell is weirdly hot.

JACK O’CONNELL?

Will have to support I have no choice!!!!!

[footballfina]

Jack!! In an ideal world Marvel would’ve already given him the Wolverine contract, but I’ll take this

I did enjoy the Holliday Grainger / Richard Madden interpretation but this looks good as well~

[fernandocolunga]

Oh my god he’d be an excellent wolverine why isn’t this a thing

I loved the Holiday and Richard one tbh. They had great chemistry.
