Due to its graphic sexual content, the novel created a great deal of controversy. In several countries, it was banned or heavily censored. The free release of ''Lady Chatterley's Lover'' was considered to be an important milestone of the sexual revolution of TheSixties. By today's standards, it's fairly tame, of course.
