The brave young Cavalier made his retreat. The lady’s jewellery, her silver plate, her adornments, the opulence of her home, the young man found most desirable—but not the woman. This woman, whom Defoe lasciviously but fearfully dared to depict offering the attractions and repellents of anal sex, was particularly dangerous territory. The Cavalier preferred the battlefield where he took his pleasures in the loot from the enemy dead, wounded and prisoners: “a bundle of some linen, thirteen or fourteen pieces of plate, and in a small cup three rings, a fine necklace of pearls, and the value of one hundred Rix-dollars in money”. Rather the comparative safety of the anal zone which yielded defined faecal equivalents than risk the hazards and mysteries of a genital world.

Even in his recounting of his erotic dreams Defoe would skirt, not enter, that world. His voyeurism found great satisfaction in conjuring up visions of compliant naked women, but they were women upon whom he would only gaze, always stopping short of dreaming of a cumulative fuck. In his intriguing The Political History of the Devil: As Well Ancient as Modern he tells of a man, obviously himself, tempted by Satan:

I know a person who the Devil so haunted with naked women, fine beautiful ladies in bed with him, and ladies of his acquaintance too, offering their favours to him, and all in his sleep; so that he seldom slept without some such entertainment; the particulars are too gross for my story, but he gave me several long accounts of his Nights Amours, and being a man of virtuous life and good morals it was the greatest surprise imaginable; for you cannot doubt that the cunning Devil made everything he acted to the life with him, and in a manner most wicked; he owned with grief to me, that the very first attempt the Devil made upon him, was with a very beautiful lady of his acquaintance who he had been something freer than ordinary with in their common conversation. This lady he brought to him in a Posture for Wickedness, and wrought up his inclinations so high in his sleep that he, as he thought, actually was about to debauch her, she not at all resisting; but that he waked in the very moment, to his particular satisfaction.
