Gardening for all Seasons

The 'Gardening for all Seasons' is a euphemistically named manual of sexual techniques widely used within House Quetzal. 
The 'Gardening' is produced in four volumes, each named after a season - so there is a Manual (sometimes Tome) of Spring Gardening, a Manual of Summer Gardening, Autumn Gardening and Winter Gardening, each dealing with a certain group of subjects and techniques.
==Manual of Spring Gardening==
The 'Spring Gardening' deals with tenderness, kissing and cuddling up to and including heavy petting. 
If this sounds like being barely enough material for a flyer, please remember that this includes not only all masturbation techniques and general facts about human (and many alien) bodies, but also chapters as frequently re-read as 'How to sleep comfortably in an n-people pile'.
==Manual of Summer Gardening==
The 'Summer Gardening' deals with penetrative sex of all variaties, including genital, oral, anal, nasal, and so on. It is distinct from the following volumes by its emphasis on sex that is pleasurable for all participants. Much of the book's bulk is made from the chapters dealing with 2+ participant sex.
==Manual of Autumn Gardening==
Unlike the two previous volumes, the 'Autum Gardening' deals with sexual techniques that are not directly pleasurable, but desirable by one or more of the participants, namely all kinds of BDSM, kink and fetish play.
==Manual of Winter Gardening==
In direct continuation of the previous subjects, the 'Winter Gardening' collects all techniques that are pleasurable to only one (or some) participants, namely all true torture, maiming and snuff. 
This volume has given rise to the expression of a slave 'being winterlisted', that is, no longer being expected or desired to survive.
==Public Reception==
At least one copy of the 'Gardening for all Seasons' can be found in every 'proper' Quetzal household, but many other nobles also own editions either for use or as a novelty item. 
In part, this tome is responsible for the house's reputation as sexually perverted - they are no more or less aberrant than members of any other house, only the Quetzal do not give a shit if you notice their kink or not. 
Funny enough, particularly the Autumn Gardening is frequently found solo on many, oh-so-proper former Tô-Genji worlds.
