“Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things.”

Two Different Would Be Different Things Modesty Pornography Secrecy

Book:D. H. Lawrence: Late Essays and Articles

“The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. Without secrecy there would be no pornography. But secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. Secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. Modesty is gentle and reserved. Today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. But secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. And the attitude of the grey ones is: Dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.”
