Aug 26 2004 Lolita sex book to outsell Harry By Jeremy Charles A SHOCKING book about the lustful experiences of a 15-year-old girl goes on sale in Britain today. Melissa Panarello's graphic story of how she lost her virginity, had an orgy with five men, then sex with a married man, a transvestite and a lesbian has caused outrage. But the book has sold 1.5million copies worldwide - knocking Harry Potter off the top of the best-seller list in her native Italy. Pope John Paul II even warned youngsters about the book in case it made them promiscuous. But Melissa, who lives in Rome and is now a millionaire at 18, said: 'Of course my book is pornographic - but it's not negative pornography. 'Pornography is part of our civilisation, yet we are told to take it as vulgar and dirty. But sex is a central part of our lives. 'I'm glad my book has caused controversy because it gets people talking and it brings sex out into the open.' Some critics have suggested the book, titled One Hundred Strokes Of The Brush Before Bed, is more imagination than reality. But Melissa said: 'Just because Italian society says it's not normal for 15-year-old girls to have sex doesn't mean that it didn't happen.' Melissa is also due to appear on a Channel Five programme called Sex, Sexy in October and her book is due to be turned into a film. |
