The Truth About "Monster Porn" (NWS)

The Truth About "Monster Porn" (NWS) | Herstory | Scoop.it

These sexy stories employ mythical creatures — everything from vampires, demons, zombies, and other monsters to centaurs, mermaids, leprechauns, and aliens — as sex partners. And apparently this upsets people enough for them to censor such stories. But why?
