During a dinner conversation, we somehow talked about writing a book and publishing it, and how people’s ego will be severely damaged if the book did not sell well. So I suggested writing a soft porn book instead, as sex always sells.
Back in the late 1960’s, a newspaper journalist wanted to prove that standards of literary and artistic taste were decreasing rapidly in the US. In order to prove his point, he had others writing a chapter each for a book, there will be no plot, no character development, no verbal skill. Instead there will be lots of kinky sex scenes. The book was named ‘Naked Came the Stranger‘. It was a bestseller.

Which just proves my point, sex sells.
