The best-selling Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy of explicitly erotic books has already been credited with reviving ailing marriages and now an expert predicts they could cause a baby boom.
Professor Ellis Cashmore, an expert in culture at Staffordshire University, predicts a spike in the number of newborns in Britain next year as a result of the books, which have been dubbed “mummy porn”.
He said: “With the millions of copies it has sold – it makes complete sense to assume that in nine months’ time we are going see a baby boom.”
The first book in the trilogy by author EL James has sold 10 million copies globally, outselling Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books. – Daily Mail
