| Abstract | In Ming and Qing erotic/pornographic stories/novels (such as Sanyan, Enemies Enamoured or Guwangyan) it is not unusual for nuns to feature in the role of sexual guru to wanton women. Skilled at manipulating weaknesses and corrupting women of good families, nuns employed their influence over laywomen to set up illicit affairs and indulge their desire. Laymen lured to convents rarely escape with their lives. Possessing preternatural lust, superior technique, and greater stamina, there was little that ordinary men could do to match them. The arrival of extraordinary men leads inexorably to the nuns' demise. This paper examines variations in the structure of lewd nun tales as they operate within and between texts. In particular I will consider how this leitmotif relates to rubrics of gender, seniority, and what I am provisionally naming 'institutional integrity' as a discursive extension of patriarchy and the patrol of male and female realms. |
