Peace Corps Porn
Well, I knew that would get your attention!
How ’bout a paperback porn novel entitled Passion Delights by Frances Sibley published in 1985 that has for a jacket cover the rather overwhelming bare breasts of a young PCV woman beckoning you to buy the paperback for $3.50 and find out what really happens to PCV women in Senegal?
The story, as far as I read (and I’ve only read enough to write this blog, I promise!) is about a newly married couple, Doug and Penny, just out of college with degrees in anthropology who are assigned to “Corps-sponsored Mgoro Techical School” and are deeply and newly in love. That is until Penny realizes what is wanting for her in West Africa!
It doesn’t take long. By page 26, Penny is having a hard time ‘adjusting’ to the sight of her naked houseboy, Ojike, and his “omnipresent erections” (I didn’t write this, I just copied it from the text!)
There is more to come, so to speak, for Penny in these 188 pages that appears to take her in sexual slavery.
And as my nephew (Morocco 1981-82) noted when he found the book and sent it to me, thinking that it would be an interesting addition to my collection of “Peace Corps literature, “Let’s just say this novel Passion Delights gave new meaning to ‘…the toughest job you’ll ever love.’”
Now here’s my holiday offer: if anyone is willing to review the novel, I’m ‘up’ to sending you this rare collector’s copy!
Psst Joey…is this for real or has John finally lost it? Hmmm, $3.95?
Sorry! My wife said I can’t review it.
FlacoBob,
All I know is that I can’t even write “health g#ls, ( a term taken directly from one of Charlie Peter’s evaluator’s report on a health eduction program) without being filtered out by the software installed by the ever alert Marian Bell Haily.
I sense a desperate ploy by the Peace Corps Recruiting staff.
I am waiting for Jouppi to weigh in.
Correction:
Marian Haley Beil is the correct name for the wonderful web creator of Peace Corps World Wide.
That’s right up my alley, please!!!
Tơo stiff an assignment for me.
This is John’s dream come true — an article that generates lots of comments!
You surely got our attention, John~!
Now, it is up to YOU to review the porn book, to keep this comment section alive and well long into the future…
John–
You have let free the beast! This blog is about to be overrun by the eastern European “entertainment” cartels. I’m staying tuned!

I’ve always assumed that every PCV signed up in order to fulfill his/her wildest sexual fantasies. This just verifies what I’ve always suspected was true.
I might have guessed that Tony D would want to review it; the dog! So I’m too late to the table and might as well stop salivating.

You are brave Joey…hi Marian! PS: Give it John to review, he had it first…is it on Kindle?
I am happy to report that the Peace Corps porn novel will be reviewed by a young woman who served as a PCV in Bolivia from 2000-02.
I’d like to thank all of you who kindly offered to step up and review the novel. This woman, however, was the first to raise her hand and accept the assignment. (She contacted me shortly after she returned home from Church.)
