L'Ecoles des Filles ou la Philosophie des dames is an erotic book by an unknown author, published initially in Paris in 1655, in which two cousins discuss sexual issues.
In the spring of 1655 the Parisian printer Louis Piot agreed to print and publish 300 copies of the L'Escoles des Filles (The Girls' Schools), of which 50 were on high quality paper. The editors were Jean and L'Ange Michel Millot. On 9 August, the fugitive Millot was burned in effigy together with confiscated books. Of the non-confiscated copies of the first edition of the work none remain.
The first still extant editions were Dutch pirated printings of 1667 and 1668.
Contents
In the summary that precedes the two dialogues of the main part, the circumstances of the action are briefly described.
Robinet, son of a merchant, is in love with a young girl named Fanchon, which he himself because of her naivety is not able to approach.
So he convinced Fanchon's older cousin Susanne to enlighten her by a confidential conversation and also to kindle her lust.
In the course of their conversation Susanne and Fanchon talk about a variety of topics, such as the age of marriage, the male and female sexual organs and sexual intercourse. At the end of the first dialogue Fanchon declares herself willing to be deflowered by Robinet.
The second dialogue takes place a few days later. Questioned by Susannne, Fanchon provides a detailed report of her first intercourse with Robinet. The two women speak of other issues, including sexual positions, flagellation, penis size, contraception and marriage.
