Despite the publication date, Amours secrètes d'un gentleman is in fact a clandestine volume produced circa 1955 by celebrated French pornographer Eric Losfeld (1922–1979).
Although not credited as such in the publication, the work is a translation of a British novel, The New Epicurean, or the Delight of Sex (1865) by Charles Sackeville (pseudonym of Edward Sellon, 1816–1866). A French edition first appeared in 1890.
The book follows the picaresque erotic exploits of the eponymous gentleman. Among the chapters is "Les Deux lesbiennes," in which the gentleman enjoys a mutually consensual adventure with a lesbian couple.
