Madonna - between Sex and a children's book
We recently learned about an interview Madonna gave ABC when launching her latest children's book. Asked So what moral right do you have, after doing sex, to write a children’s book? she answers "I don't understand the question". It may seem as if the ABC reporter is suggesting that Madonna does not have the moral right to write a children's book if she had sex. That would be terribly misguided, since by that logic no mother with the exception of Virgin Mary could write such books and that's simply dumb. Yet what ABC is really asking is
So what moral right do you have, after doing Sex, to write a children’s book?
Now that makes far more sense. Why? Because the reporter is referring to the book "Sex" which is a coffee table book Madonna published in 1992. It was an incredibly controversial book back then and even today it holds its own. According to the American Library Association, it was the 18th most challenged book in libraries in the 1990s. It features strong adult content and simulated sex acts, such as homosexuality, sadomasochism, perversion of religious imagery and anilingus. The photos in the book are actually frames from a Super 8 mm film shot mostly by Fabien Baron.
Time Warners executives were very worried about how the book could affect Madonna's image and the sales of her albums, so they made her sign an agreement that the book will be free of religious imagery, bestiality and child pornography. She managed to include references to all these topics in her book, after creating her own vanity label, Maverick, to nullify the previously signed contract. To deal with the controversy, she released the song Human Nature, where she says
express yourself, don't repress yourself (...) I'm not sorry. It's human nature. I'm not your bitch. Don't hang your shit on me.
Today, the book can be purchased on eBay or Amazon for around USD200 - the limited and banned Japanese edition is around USD400. The book is also available on several file sharing networks. A quick search on The Pirate Bay, for instance, revealed the availability of 4 torrents, all active at the time of writing:
- Madonna Videos Part 4 (Sex 1992, Pajama Party 1), 4.35 GB
- Various Madonna sex scenes, 161.54 MB
- Madonna Sex / best art erotic photos from a book, 18.8 MB
- (ebook) Madonna - Sex (Full Book), 6.43 MB
If you somehow get a hold of the book, read it and think "what's the big deal?", consider that this was before the Internet became an avenue for porn and deviant sexual acts that have yet to make their way into the DSM. Back then, oral sex was considered risque and ungodly and most people would get their porn on VCR and on cable TV Pay-Per-View. That's why her book caused a major storm and either sold out or was banned (usually both) in most countries. To download torrent files, you might have to download and install the Opera browser first, or follow this guide.
Enjoy!

Daft Punk & the OCD anthem
