On
CBS Sunday Morning, the weekly news show which usually
features stories on movers and shakers behind the news, Bill Geist trotted out
to do his bit on the
Fifty Shades of Grey βMommy Pornβ phenomenon. It wasnβt a
complete disaster, but it did feature a 76-year-old grandmother, or the Queen of
Porn as her daughter styled her, erotic romance writer. In less than seven
years, Desiree Holt has churned out more than 35 books of erotic fiction, almost
all of them for Elloraβs Cave. And she does her research by playing with Mattel
dolls which she demonstrated in a heavily edited manner for Geist. Iβm really
not sure why the use of a Ken doll and two Barbie dolls sticks with me, but it
does. What young girl doesnβt play with Barbie dolls? But to use them for
testing out sex acts? Iβm afraid that image is not going to go away anytime
soon, particularly her breaking two of her dolls and stating they should be more
flexibleβthis all in a piece on βMommy Pornβ no less.
Erotic fiction is hot right now.
Due to the fact that all age groups are due to watch CBS news, although I am not one of them, I don't feel that books or any medium of this kind should be discussed during that time of day. It's a more adult topic, and since normal parents would discuss these topics with their kids, it could fall on the wrong ears. As for your sentence about the Barbie dolls breaking, I haven't been around Barbie dolls for a l-o-n-g time now, but when I was younger, they had dolls with limbs that bent in every direction. I haven't had a chance to read her books yet, but what was her problem?? Lol Anyway, I had no idea of her age, and that makes my thoughts go in other directions that I won't put in my comments. Lol I would like to read her books, however, and see what the big deal is about her books!!
