I am so going to be one of those erotica/romance authors who constantly feels like she has to justify the validity of her genre to people who hold it in contempt. UM SEX HAS LONG BEEN THE BASIS FOR HUMAN EXISTENCE, not sure where you think the state of literature would be if it weren’t for the nasty; not saying non-sexual literature isn’t valid but good lord
Look up an actor. Damn, he’s 31.
Wait, I’m 24. That’s only 7 years difference.

I have a real issue with anyone trying to protect children from their own imaginations. If we cannot acknowledge that a lot of us have a bit of darkness within ourselves, some more than others perhaps, and bring it into the light and examine it and talk about this part of the human condition, then I think we will be living in quite a dangerous climate. I think that’s much more damaging for children.
