Whore dialogues

[3][4] Later works in the same genre include La Retorica delle Puttane (The Rhetoric of Whores) (1642) by Ferrante Pallavicino;[5][6] L'École des Filles (The school for girls) (1655), attributed to Michel Millot and Jean L'Ange.

[11] Donald Thomas has translated L'École des filles, as The School of Venus, (1972), described on its back cover as "both an uninhibited manual of sexual technique and an erotic masterpiece of the first order".

[14] Chorier's Dialogues of Luisa Sigea goes a bit further than its predecessors in this genre and has the older female giving practical instruction of a lesbian nature to the younger woman plus recommending the spiritual and erotic benefits of a flogging from willing members of the holy orders.

[16] The School of Women first appeared as a work in Latin entitled Aloisiae Sigaeae, Toletanae, Satyra sotadica de arcanis Amoris et Veneris.

This manuscript claimed that it was originally written in Spanish by Luisa Sigea de Velasco, an erudite poet and maid of honor at the court of Lisbon and was then translated into Latin by Johannes Meursius.
