I have been reading reviews of the various translations, and the Richard Pevear gets a lot of praise. One review made me laugh out loud: it described Milady as a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Myra Hindley, with a dash of Margaret Thatcher.
It certainly sounds as if all the steamy bits are there, issybird. (Having read one of the bowdlerised versions in my distant youth, I thought when I read your post "Naughty bits? I didn't know there were any!")
