I was a guest on The Passion Zone–the topic was Censoring Desires!

Posted byannabeljosephPosted inNovels

[Hi–just editing this to add the link to our discussion! We had a great talk about censorship and the right of readers to fantasize about whatever they WANT!]

You can listen to the entire show here. CLICK!

I’m sure you all remember Paypal’s attempt to censor erotica, as well as Dr. Drew’s assertion on The Today Show that reading non-con or BDSM erotica had a connection to real life abuse. There is also the annoying insinuation that women who read BDSM, rape-fantasy, or non-consensual fantasy erotica must be abused and/or mentally ill. I could go on and on…

And we will go on and on tomorrow on The Passion Zone, where the topic will be “Censoring Women’s Desires!”

Me, Allie, and Scarlet will talk about the Paypal debacle and the media’s reaction to the hit book Fifty Shades of Grey, as well as the marginalization of certain “unacceptable” female fantasies. The Passion Zone is a call in show–you’ll be able to call in and voice YOUR opinion (but don’t delay. It’s only a thirty minute program.)

Hope you’ll tune in and maybe even be brave enough to join the conversation!

  1. Awesome! I will try to tune in but I always suck at time zones, and also finding time to do anything when the kiddo’s underfoot. I was thrilled (and honestly, shocked) when PayPal relented regarding the censorship business, BUT it’s not over. Just today a case came to light regarding Mastercard censoring books (http://midnightseductionsauthors.blogspot.com/?zx=5cf8d910d5e6e54c) and the foreboding warning that things were about to get much worse (which, unfortunately, I believe).

    AND, also relevant, (not sure if you saw this when I tweeted it, but: A 1949 Psychology Manual on female sexuality. Sounds eerily familiar if you replace “masturbation” with BDSM. http://i.imgur.com/zPqM0.jpg

    So, yeah.

  3. And again living in Europe sucks :((
    Stupid time zones!!!!
    Is there at least a podcast?

    I’d love to hear what was said!

    Love Mrs. Rhaw

  4. Hi Mrs. Rhaw! Yes, there will be a podcast available. I’ll post the link after we do the show. 🙂

  5. What are all those blokes afraid of??? Female sexuality surely must be threatening 🙁
