The metaphor of the harem in erotic fiction
The metaphor of the harem, for instance, was a particularly rich male power fantasy in its endless supply of exotic, submissive women to fulfill the limitless pornographic pleasures imaginable.Many a pornographic novel played upon this — The Lustful Turk (1828), Scenes in the Seraglio (c. 1860), and A Night in a Moorish Harem (c. 1906) being but a few examples of the exotic's lasting hold on the British imagination. --Modernism, Mass Culture, and the Aesthetics of Obscenity (2000) - Allison Pease
