Mummy porn

If you mention porn, most people think men. This is true, most porn is watched and read by men, however there is a growing number of women who are reading pornographic novels.  In the past, many read in secret, however with the rise of the ebook, women are now turning to porn in greater numbers.  Still in secret but now they are read pornographic books without anyone knowing what they are reading.

"Sales have always been good," said Tina Haveman, founder of eXtasy books, "but the increase has happened over the last few years because of the new ebook readers that have become available." "Ebooks are cheaper than paperbacks, and easier to buy because of the convenience of the internet," she added, "and people can read them without having to hide them from prying eyes." "You could be a mom, like, sitting in the park on a playday with the moms down the block and you could be reading, like, a real kinky novel and nobody knows," agreed Brenda Knight, associate publisher of Cleis Press. Founded in 1980, Cleis Press bills itself as the largest queer publisher in the United States, and 70 per cent of its erotica sales are digital.

Porn is porn, no matter whether a man or woman is involved. However, a husband may not have any clues that his wife is reading porn because it is hidden away on her ebook reader.  She could simply say she is reading a romance novel and unless he checks he is not likely to know.  Sadly though in this modern society, most husbands probably don't care that their wives are reading sexually erotic fiction.  There are even erotic novels aimed at mums like you and me which is why the term "mummy porn" has been coined.  But it is a temptation that Christian wives need to be fully aware of and avoid.  It is so easy to download a book at any time of the day or night. We all need to be vigilant, especially when we are at our weakest moments.

"Women who gravitate towards erotic romantic fiction do so for a combination of reasons," Wendell added. "It's a positive portrayal of female sexuality, where the woman is celebrated instead of denigrated, and it explores different sexual practices within the safety and privacy of the reader's own imagination."

But this a warning to parents who have teenage daughters who have access to ebook readers.  There is a growing number of pom novels on market aim at young women and as a person who read a number of unsavory romance novels (in book form) when I was growing up . . . it is much easier to hide a book on an ereader than under a bed.  Whilst you think your daughter wouldn't do such a thing, sometimes parents are very surprised to discovered that their daughter can and does do these things. 

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
