Now who would’ve thought Mommy Porn would lead to all sorts of sexy time ailments?
Between you and me, I’m all about that MILF life. There are very few things hotter than picturing a hot older woman, you know, not grandma hot, not decrepit hot, but sorta like a ‘Silver Fox’ hot.
Maybe I’m just paying attention more, but lately, it seems like I’m running into more and more older ladies who qualify as totally fuckable, and maybe it’s because these women are embracing their sexuality (more like holding onto it with a rusty iron fist, but that’s cool too) and it shows.
Clearly older women are enjoying more active sex lives; one theory I’ve had about it is related to some of the media that’s out there which seem to give these women of a certain age a gentle push saying, “Hey old lady, you still have some blood flowing between them divorced legs…go get you some!” As that may be the case, it’s almost natural that things might get just a little bumpy along the way.
According to a British physician, a recent surge in reported sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) in 
people over the age of 50 could be directly related to the global phenomenon of the wildly successful Fifty Shades of Grey book series. Dr. Charlotte Jones of the British Medical Association’s General Practitioners Committee thinks that series is encouraging women to engage in riskier sex, something problematic in and of itself.
“When it comes to forgetting about safe sex we always think of the vulnerability of young people, but there’s the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ effect where older people are being more explorative, but not necessarily remembering to use a condom,”
In 2012 alone, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that STI rates for people 45-65 nearly tripled in the previous decade here in the U.S. In the U.K., STIs jumped 3 percent for the same age range and 7 percent in those older than 65 from 2011-2012.
To blame the book series, which is referred to by some as “Mommy Porn”, explores themes of bondage and S&M, is a relatively easy target. The series is a juggernaut, selling well over 100 million copies in numerous languages. That it may be the catalyst for spicing up sex lives certainly can’t be denied.
I myself dated a woman who was tits deep into the series, and all I had to show for it was her trying to sneak a purple dildo up my ass, telling me, “It’s OK, I’m still a woman, and you’re still a man.” (I have no idea if something like that happened in the book, but hey, if we’re blaming an increase in diseases on it, I’m sure we can stick just about anything short of murder on it as well.)
No word from author E.L. James, who at the moment is busy rolling around in a pile of money from book sales, and a feature film adaptation, due in theaters on Valentine’s Day 2015. (Oh, the irony.)
