Reply to comment by Agreeable-Roof7429 in What are the "sensual" acts Lady Chatterley and Mellors get into? by Agreeable-Roof7429

At that time, most sexual stuff in most situations would be considered shameful. There was even some societal taboo about enjoying sex with your spouse.

The characters are not married, that’s bad. And they are from different social classes, that’s bad.

The different classes is really what the author is skewering. Lord Chatterley is invalid and impotent. His employee is earthy and virile.
