subtitled The Recollections of a Mary-Ann, with Short Essays on Sodomy and Tribadism. A series of sexual vignettes based on the life (or imagination) of Jack Saul, a cross-dressing sex worker.

Authorship of the book is contested between at least three figures: the original Jack Saul, James Campbell Reddie (an erotica writer and bibliographer who often contributed to Lazenby), and Simeon Solomon (a Pre-Raphaelite and illustrator of Swineburne's unpublished erotica).
