The Blueprint of Longing: A Collection of Forgotten Smuts is a visceral inventory of everything Kylie Jensen usually keeps hidden. For decades, Jensen has been both a watcher and a participant in the deep underbelly of the global adult industry, and this volume brings together the raw fragments she left behind. It is a “collage of perversion,” compiled from private notebooks, travel diaries, and scraps of paper salvaged from adult film sets and magazine offices from Scandinavia to America.
Within these pages lie the skeletal remains of her most provocative ideas: unfinished erotic novels, synopses for films too intense to be made, and the “naughty thoughts” that fueled her career. From her experiments in the hardcore trade to the “Commuter Smuts” written on night buses and trains, this collection offers an unfiltered look into the creative process of a woman obsessed with the pulse.
This is not a polished narrative, but a raw descent into a life lived for the friction. It is an intimate, unapologetic uncovering of Kylie’s personal secrets—the lost paragraphs, experimental notes, and sketches of desire that reveal the heat of the first impulse. This is the unedited, unrefined truth of the flesh.
