You know those happy gushy pregnancy memoirs where the women has the glow of childbirth beaming through her? ‘Exploiting My Baby’ by Teresa Strasser is not one of those memoirs.
To prove it, Strasser stopped by THE TALK to discuss losing 60 pounds, & watching bad porn with the hubby to get in the mood. All while staying in the FCC guidelines!
Holy host Holly Robinson Peete gets totes freaked out over all the porn talk, but Sharon jumps right in there. True to form, Julie Chen sits to the right…. like a porcelain doll.
Julie: At 28 was fertility an issue?
Teresa: I worked in news, and I had done a story on a scientific study about adult movies. That said watching adult movies made men more virile. Something about watching another guy…. and it made their sperm..
Sharon: ANOTHER GUY!?
Teresa: Yes!
Sharon: I’m confused. I’m very confused.
Teresa: I’m trying to be careful here. I’m never going to be asked back on the show! Something about watching adult movies, watching another man, makes something competitive happen in your body.
Sharon: It makes the sperm stronger so it gets RIGHT THERE!
‘Exploiting My Baby’ is an achingly honest memoir about the motherhood Teresa begins experiencing at age thirty-eight. With a biting sense of humor and heart, she portrays the tribulations that come with each trimester, from nausea, weight gain, and bladder infections to dealing with those other kinds of pregnant women. I have never been pregnant so I never thought I’d finish a pregnancy book from cover to cover. Now I know what that dark line is women get down their BELLY!
