In addition to photographs of me bare there have been photographs of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everybody. I additionally wrote about my sexual fantasies and shared my standpoint about sexuality in an ironic manner.

“Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball. You’re welcome bitches …….🤡”
Madonna then shared a 1992 interview clip from 60 Minutes Australia through which she is seen defending her option to publish bare photographs of herself.
“What did you get out of it?” Madonna requested the host when he requested if there was a message within the e-book. “I got afraid,” he admitted.

“You have so,” she went on to recommend. “You’ve never read Playboy magazine, or Penthouse, or anything like that?”
“Yes,” the host answered, “but it was different with you. The picture of you astride the mirror, masturbating – I thought that was horrible. It just strikes me as horrible.”
“I think people’s reaction to specific situations in the book was much more a reflection of that person than me,” Madonna added.
