Salacious? These Network people apparently don't know what the term means...
It is unbelievable...Matt Lauer who had traps set in his office to imprison women whom he wanted to fuck used to go on the air and practically giggle when someone would allude to what goes on on a... -giggle- Honeymoon. These correspondents call this stuff that you might easily find in any sex ed course for junior high students, salacious and - gasp! - TAWDRY.
I'm reminded of the moment in the film The Devil's Advocate wherein the character played by Keanu Reaves asks the potential witness who claims she had been having an affair with someone, "Is he circumcised?" She just stops because she can't answer the question because she was lying about the affair. I saw that film in a crowded theater and not one person gasped or passed out having had the vapors when he uttered that very dramatic line. It's not salacious or "dirty". Its sexuality within the norms which are fairly broad.
I can supply a reading list of truly salacious material for these morons who are pearl-clutching - meanwhile a good percentage of them have been banging their way around the network and elsewhere and probably into all kinds of truly salacious behavior. I would caution you not to let your mind wander too far, however.

about these issues. After a particularly long and irritating day some time back, I have to admit to having told a patient to "grow up" when they turned into a giggling idiotic teenager seemingly unable to discuss such matters when the resultant health impacts were literally right in front of me. (AND they did at least attempt to discuss as an adult at that point).
Some people never grow up...
I remember after Stormy's first day of testimony, Mika Brzezinski was reduced to an apoplectic mess whining about "why she had to be so explicit" (she clearly wasn't) and "how could the prosecutors have had her on the stand and why did they let her go on" about this. She was just seconds away from reflexively defending Trump as a result, when Lisa Ruben (the legal analyst) VERY CALMLY interjected that she hadn't felt the testimony to be explicit at all but (paraphrased) rather unpleasant to hear, unseemly, and maybe a bit overwhelming to think the former POTUS would behave in this manner. Well, that shut Mika RIGHT up and she had to admit that it was not explicit sexual conduct described that she had been reacting to. But, damn... Where's the fainting couch when these supposed adult tv hosts so badly need one.
