Forget Hillary's caucus-winning tears: the most disturbing thing we've read lately is the revelation in a new book about the Clintons that Bill is fond of baby talk and sometimes refers to his wife as "Hirree." Okay, so it's the most disturbing thing that Em's read lately--baby talk in the bedroom is one of the few issues we disagree on. Em thinks it's gross and weird and just the thought of baby talk--in or out of the bedroom--makes her squeeze her bumhole tighter than an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. She also thinks that no good sex can come of it.

(Then again, as a Brit she's repulsed by T.M.I. and said of a recent birthing instructional video--featuring real couples giving birth, moving everyone else in the class to tears--that it was like watching someone else's home porn movie.)

Lo, on the other hand, thinks that what you say when no one else is listening is your own damn business. And if that should involve shmoopy nicknames or a little lispy baby talk? What could be more intimate than acting in a way that you never could in public? It's just another way to be naked in front of each other. And in the further privacy of your own bedroom? Well, maybe, in the right circumstances, it could be kind of hot. Kink-lite, perhaps, without the need for any rash-inducing latex get-ups. So...are you on Team Em or Team Lo?
