One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed is an erotic memoir by Italian author Melissa Panarello, first published in 2003.
100 colpi di spazzola prima di andare a dormire is a book about Panarello's about her extreme sexual life during her teenage years, which was loosely based on her own experiences. Originally, it was written as a novel but was then altered to fit a diary form. Contrary to popular belief, it was not her actual diary. The book was distributed in forty countries and translated into over thirty languages. Coming from Sicily, one of the most traditional and old-fashioned parts of Italy, Panarello scandalized many as she freely writes about penetration, sperm, and orgasm in a very matter of fact fashion.
