Quest’estate it was hot, and no, not only for the passage of the African anticyclone Lucifer over all of Italy, but also for the TV series, by Netflix, which set the nights of millions of people on fire. Yes, we are talking about “Sex/Life”, the story of Billie, wife of Cooper, a model husband and an irreproachable father, and a mother of two children, who would have everything that one desires from life.
But it is known that what is missing is what he craves the most, so he finds himself remembering the good old days of youth, when he was studying psychology and with his friend Sasha frolicking from club to club.
Until you come across Brad, handsome and damned music producer, who makes her capitulate and gives her the best sex of her life. So intense that years later she finds herself writing about it in her hot diary and fantasizing about it, since she doesn’t fight a nail with her husband. Until Cooper reads it and …
Hot scenes of hardcore sex, uncensored filming of private parts (episode 3 is still one of the most watched!), Tension that is cut with a knife: Bridgerton in comparison it’s educande stuff!
For sure, it’s a TV series to watch, which could also heat up your autumn, but if you’ve already seen it, waiting for the second season (Netflix is still deciding if there will be a continuation, but judging by the ending – very open – everything points to yes!), What you can do is read the book from which it was taken: “Sex diary”, written by BB Easton, and published in Italy by Sperling & Kupfer.
Because perhaps what you don’t know is that it’s all inspired by a true story, that of the author, in fact, who lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her husband, Ken, and two children. After the worldwide success of “Sex diary”, she recently quit her job as a school psychologist to devote herself full-time to writing novels about her rebellious past.
The TV series is obviously an adaptation of the book, which in some respects differs from what we have already seen on the small screen. But the story is there. We wanted to investigate the matter with BB Easton, who revealed curiosities, anecdotes, memories of her hot past.
Do you remember the exact moment you started writing “Sex diary”?
“Of course yes. I had recently discovered the joy of romance novels, particularly those with bad girl implications, and it occurred to me that I was practically reading about all my exes. I had been through quite a long “bad girl” phase before becoming wise and marrying a good guy, and my experiences were eerily similar to the books I was reading. I started thinking, “I went out with all these guys. The tattoo artist, the outlaw biker, the street racer… I could write these stories without having to invent anything! ”.
So one night, after I had put the kids to bed and was sitting on the couch, bored to death, while my husband was watching sports on TV, I put my computer on my lap and wrote my first page of a diary. It felt so good it became my new evening routine. I stopped watching tv. To read. To sleep. All I wanted to do was write about those wild and carefree days and relive all the fun I had before the responsibilities, the children, the career came. “
“Sex diary” is based on her story. Was she hoping Ken would take a cue while reading it instead of making a scene?
“I never meant to let him read anything! In my sleepless state I must have accidentally left my computer open on the coffee table, because one night I went downstairs after putting my daughter to bed and heard my laptop slam shut. Ken had a very guilty look, sitting on the sofa, and I said to myself: “Ok, my marriage is over”. I didn’t know what he had read exactly, but I knew that whatever it was, it was probably about one of my ex boyfriends and was probably very hot. But instead of getting angry, Ken came home from work the next day and said, “I hired a babysitter. Let’s go out”. It took me on a real date, and when we got home, some of the things that took place in the bedroom looked eerily similar to what I had written about my ex in my journal. So, of course, I had to keep writing it! ‘
I guess she enjoyed writing “Sex diary”, but was it useful as a psychologist?
“The diary hasn’t been of much help to me as a professional, but being a psychologist was extremely helpful as I was writing it. My psychologist friend and I would like to try to understand how to continue this, to maximize the behavioral impact of this new magical routine ».
Did you find any improvements in your life as a mother and wife after writing “Sex diary”?
“Absolutely yes. My whole life has changed for the better since I found the courage to publish this book. I’ve been able to quit my stressful job, stay home with my kids, and do what makes me happy full time. And my relationship with Ken is better than ever, thanks not only to the diary, but also to his support for my new career as a writer ».
A comment on the TV series inspired by your book?
“I love it! The way they took the basic premise of “Sex diary,” which is a comic and hot memoir, and turned it into this intense, gripping, TV drama was so incredibly creative and well executed. I was on the tip of the sofa the whole time! ‘
Are you longing for that bad girl life? If so, is there anything in particular that you are missing?
“Honestly, I feel I have had the best of both worlds. I love my life right now, but whenever I want to experience some of that thrill of my past life, all I have to do is open my laptop and write about it, from the safe comfort of my happy home. “
What have you learned to appreciate the most about your current life by writing “Sex diary”?
«At the beginning of ‘Sex diary’, I talk about how my husband is 90% perfect for me, but for some strange reason it was the 10% that I lacked – passion and danger – and that kept me awake at night. But at the end of that experience, I realized that the things that were driving me crazy about my husband were actually the qualities that made him perfect for me. “
What was your goal while writing the book?
“To create the craziest and spiciest stories about my ex-boyfriends that I could think of to inspire my husband to become a more passionate partner. But once that experiment ended and I decided to publish it as a book, it was because I wanted to inspire other people to look at their partners through a new lens, maybe add some spice to their long-term relationships and, at least, make them laugh ».
Have you received any messages from the women who have read the book? What did they say?
«Oh yes, so many! I always thought this story was so personal, from the experiences reported, but it turns out that almost everyone finds something in this book that they can refer to. Men too. It was one of the best parts of this adventure: getting messages from readers of all ages and genders, who, despite growing up on a different continent or during a different decade, find something in my book that makes them say, “Oh my God ! Me too!””.
