K a Merikan

The Art of Mutual Pleasure (M/M regency) K a Merikan

--- The path to debauchery is strewn with good intentions. --- Benjamin Snowley is trapped in a most distressing predicament. He's been feeling poorly and after having recently recovered from influenza, he knows that the fault for his declining health lies in a vice he wouldn't dare mention in polite conversation. Onanism, self-pollution, masturbation. All names for the same sinful affliction. For Benjamin, it all started back at school, where he first encountered the immoral Frederick Cory. Ever since then, the man has been plaguing Benjamin's dreams and causing most unnatural urges. Now is the time for all the infatuation nonsense to stop. With the help of an unorthodox doctor and an indecent proposition to a young stablehand, Benjamin will rid himself of the vile addiction. But can the experimental treatment be enough to make him forget his feelings for Frederick?
