The fact that Alyssa enjoys or wants to be a sexual slave would worry me, only because I want her to have the freedom to choose her life rather than have it forced on her.

It ought to be more like Smashwords, where once we set the adult filter to off, it stays off and shows us the books.

If you look at TV and books today vs. the 1950s when couples on TV had to sleep in twin beds, and one of them always had to keep at least one foot on the floor, you can see how much TV standards and practices have relaxed.
