I can't say the Story Of O ever did anything for me. I saw the film in France in the seventies but didn't realise it was the Story Of O until I saw the film again on late night TV only last year. I never read the story until a couple of years ago. Maybe I came to it too late and time has rendered it too polite and reserved. Certainly compared to writing you find on this site the Story Of O is a walk in the park! It's obviously an icon but its attraction is still lost on me.
