Oh, my! I used to love vintage erotica. I read an anonymous erotic biography written in late 1800 London, but I can't remember the title of it to save my life. I do remember it was just shocking. Revealed SO much about society's view of lower class women at the time.
Well, there's the 11 volume sexual memoir of "Walter" called "My Secret Life" from the late c19.... I've not read it, but _The Other Victorians_ quotes enough of it that I feel like I have.
