I think I get it. "Pregnant nuns" sounds like the kind of guilty pleasure book my aunt would read with the cover ripped off if she deemed it "too lurid". There's a really popular subgenre for this sort of thing, pregnant nuns, pregnant out of wedlock Amish girls, etc. Sometimes it has nothing to do with sex as the main shocker either, it's just the voyeuristic thrill of reading about these subjects that are "taboo".

A movie can kind of take that secret little thrill away for some people. Now instead of reading about pregnant nuns with the cover ripped off of your otherwise brand-spankin-new book, you're in a theater with a bunch of other ladies who you're positive would reader be reading the book with the cover ripped off too.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for your thoughts. I had to lol at the cover ripped off bit though. My friend's grandmother rips the covers off all her trashy romance novels. I didn't know other people did that too.

Awww, ripping the covers off books makes me sad. :(

I remember making construction paper covers for books I wanted to "protect" when I was little (I loved books and still do) so by the time I was old enough to start sneaking my mom's trashy romance novels people were used to me reading books with plain covers so no one ever suspected anything lol.
