Admittedly, SOL readers are not overly celebrated for their intelligence, and certainly not for their discretion. When I decided to write a story — “The Real Housewives of Sausalito, Mississippi” — where Sex was not only the Main Character, it was the Plot, I anticipated a negative reaction.
And, understandably so. There is little redeeming social value; many of the sexually-active players are selfish and greedy; what storyline there is, is mainly a backdrop, an excuse, for more indecent behavior.
Surprisingly, “Housewives” has a legion of fans who — keep those cards and letters coming in — are clamoring for more. More sex, more depravity, more … more everything.
One can only hope that the readers here are not a representative cross-section of the world’s population. Surely there are some good, decent, moral folks out there. Surely.
