She gave me ‘the look’. I think she expected me to whip off my clothes and start dancing round the nearest pole-like object.

Needless to say I didn’t, but I was oh so tempted…

Plus the cheesy ass CGI covers on many of them make many clinch covers look positively respectable.

I am amazed at what seems to be the limitless market for erotica among women. For decades, I had been responding to snide comments about romance novels being popular because women read them for the sex scenes with the simple truth that a lot of them didn’t have explicit sex, but these days ….. I gotta wonder.

If porn drives the Web, then surely erotica drives e-books.
