In the early 1990s (when I was in junior high), Madonna did the Sex book

in 1992, i thought it was important that a person could walk into barnes & noble and exchange $50 for a book with pictures of half-naked men in it.
but i was a teen. i didn’t have $50. by the the time i’d saved enough, the limited-edition run had sold out.

it came with a CD. also in silvery foil. it had a couple remixes of ‘erotica’ on it, and one by william orbit that was the shit.
playful, and kinky, and beautiful, and utterly scandalous to the eyes of a closeted gay boy who could hardly believe there was anyone else in the world who loved to look at beautiful men like he did-never mind admit it.
punk lesbians and muscle gays. basketball players and leather doms. isabella rossellini dressed as a man. boys wearing heels and corsets. vanilla ice. big daddy kane. pussy, titties, ass, dick.
maybe for the best; if my mother had found it, she’d have built a small pyre for it and forced me to watch it burn.
and i remember what it was like to walk into that b&n on the upper east side of manhattan, slide it off the shelf, and plop it up on the counter by the registers, staring coolly at the cashier-daring him to say something judgy about madonna, about gays, about nudity, about. about anything, really.

I once started an academic paper with a quote from Madonna’s book. Although the reviewer’s comments were generally rather ok cupid Tipps lukewarm, they went out of their way to praise the “terrific opening sentence” and it got accepted.

So, I was at my bondage master’s condo last night when I made some obscure reference to Madonna and he said, “I have the Madonna book,” and then I was all like:
Oh yeah. First of all, you have to be really careful turning pages because of the spiral binding. Second of all, there are a bunch of lyrics from the Erotica album that all these years I thought were so So, I was at my bondage master’s condo last night when I made some obscure reference to Madonna and he said, “I have the Madonna book,” and then I was all like:

Second of all, there are a bunch of lyrics from the Erotica album that all these years I thought were something other than what they were. All these years, instead of “I’ll hit you like a truck,” I thought she was saying, “I’ll eat you like a chocolate.” “Truck” rhymes with “fuck” though, so I guess that makes more sense.
Madonna is my favorite person ever and she is amazing in the photos. The photo of Madonna parasailing naked — GODDESS. The written stuff, not so amazing. Also, why are most of the men clothed? And Vanilla Ice? What’s he doing in the book at all?
