Sssh.com Featured on ABC's Nightline

BOSTON — Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality website designed and maintained for women by women, was featured last Friday on ABC’s Nightline news program. 

The segment dealt with the so-called ‘Mommy Porn Revolution’ that has apparently been triggered by the publication of 50 Shades of Grey, the erotic novel by E.L. James, a London-based television executive, wife and mother of two.

A Nightline crew traveled to Sssh.com's New England studio to get an up-close-and-personal perspective on the making of an erotic 40-minute featurette for Sssh.com titled "Ellington: A Sssh.com Erotic Fairy Tale."

Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree was featured throughout the Nightline segment in on-camera interviews during which she explained Sssh.com intimate formula for making erotica that women really want to see.

Women’s taste for erotica is nothing new, insisted Rowntree, even if pushing the boundaries of kink remains a tricky business; women still want to see love, intimacy and romance mixed in with their sex scenes.

“What the Sssh.com audience wants to see is a passionate love scene that is filled with chemistry and sensuality," she said. "Female readers want a storyline, like a romance novel come to life.”

Sssh.com is an erotic website that offers film featurettes, original television programming, articles, video tutorials and advice/how-to guides, exclusively for and by women.
