"Many would not classify The 120 Days Of Sodom as 'pornography' since the sex is repetitive and not described in great detail. Furthermore, many of the paraphilias involved, such as coprophilia, pedophilia, rape, torture and murder, are (deliberately) those which the majority of people find either unstimulating or repulsive."
I removed (deliberately) as it is of a speculative nature, as likely as it may be.
- I think the second half of the passage doesn't even make sense -- certainly, just because most people would fine those things repulsive does not make it not pornography (if that makes sense): in other words, just because there are people who find sodomy unstimulating does not mean that erotic works involving sodomy isn't pornography. For that matter, just because sex is repetitive, does not mean its pornography (i.e. Penthouse letters?). I'm reworking that passage. Janet13 04:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

- Actually, on second reading, I deleted the entirety of the two sentences because they are speculative and have no sourcing (and, as I mentioned above, the arguments don't actually make sense). Janet13 04:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
C'est dégueulasse, carrément dégoutant... je n'ai meme pas été capable de le lire au complet tellement ce sont les crimes les plus immondes que je n'aie jamais vu de toute ma vie... ce n'est pas du tout excitant et ca ne fait que nous inciter a cette débauche qui manque completement de classe et d'humanisme.
Je ne comprends pas. --Ed Poor
- I know this is old, but I thought I'd exercise my ages-old French by trying to translate -- I'm sure it's not exact, but the gist is:
- It's disgusting, absolutely disgusting.... I couldn't even finish reading about the worst crimes against humanity that I've ever heard of in my life. It's not at all exciting and is not meant to do anything but incite debauchery that will lower the reader's sense of class and humanity. Tokerboy 07:11 Feb 13, 2003 (UTC)
The introduction says first publishing was in 1905, but the History section says 1904. Which is correct?
[edit] Julie not killed
The characters-section section states "The victims who will eventually be killed are: The daughters of the four principal characters, whom they have been sexually abusing for years. "
If I understood correctly: Julie, daughter of le Duc de Blangis survives? (16 survivors: 4 heroes, 4 studs, 4 prostitutes, 3 cooks, Julie?) Pukkie 14:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
