The Recently Deflowered Girl is a 1965 etiquette book for those awkward moments you hadn't planned for, written by Edward Gorey under the name Hyacinthe Phyppe, an expert in such matters. In each "deflowerment" situation, the proper thing to do apparently is to provide a witty comeback. The entire scanned book is online with Gorey illustrations. This is SFW, unless you have a child nearby who knows what the archaic word "deflowerment" means. Link -Thanks, luke!

The first entry did not involve rape. ("He asked her")
Secondly, the entire book is about awkward and strange sexual situations under often deceitful circumstances. It's a satire of Victorian sensibilities that were simultaneously prudish and misogynistic.
But I guess it went over your heads.
I love the final tagline for the first Chinese one...
The Chinese ones were a little stereotypical, but they were parodies of that mindset. The Chinese detective was Charlie Chan. Yes, they could have chosen Hercule Poirot as a the French detective, but using a Chinese detective seems to make the book actually more inclusive.
The second one was NOT rape. The woman tries to blame the lichee nuts for her own sexual curiosity.
Ally, deflowerment by complete strangers in public places is the only way to go.
Am I right am I right?
burgundy, the readers of the 1960's? It would be unusual and maybe a little shocking, but not drop-dead shocking.
No fair, I wanted to get in on the argument XP
