As a parent, I don't know about Pussy Willow. It would catch my eye instantly, but not how you probably meant it to :). I think the moment I'd see the title I would be... "wtf? is this for real?" -...

I saw the trailers for the movie and it looks like they did a great adaptation, for a change, though until I see the whole movie I can't be sure :).

I for one have read porn on Kindle, and I am glad it exists.
Otherwise I would never have gone into a book-store and bought such a book. I'd never want to be caught reading it by strangers, or...
