Speaking of tame...I used to read Harlequin romances when i was a teenager. I heard they had some free online ones for a bit, so i downloaded one. Whew! Ummm, the word pornographic comes to mind....my mom would have had a heart attack if they had been written then like they are now! But that's okay, no mom around now

Not the actual act, nor its literary depiction, but the way it was represented in mass-market fiction. The "godfather of the airport novel"  if not the creator of the bonkbuster  changed the face of post-war popular fiction with steamy tales such as <I>The Betsy</I>, <I>The Lonely Lady</I>, <I>The Pirate</I> and his 1961 classic, <I>The Carpetbaggers</I>.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/culture-of-love/the-man-who-invented-sex-938521.html"><P class="font-null">
In 1948, Robbins' first novel, <I>Never Love a Stranger</I>, was one of the 
  books seized by the Philadelphia vice squad and prosecuted on grounds of "immorality 
  and obscenity". Contemporary readers were titillated by its overripe 
  language its use of phrases such as "muff diver" as well as its 
  frank, and quite brutal, portrayal of sex. Reviewers were shocked by its 
  content one said the novel was nothing but "vice, vulgarity, obscenity, 
  murder and fornication".
