During the sit-down, the late Carleton mentioned he ‘got a fright’ after reading the singer’s book, and she responded by asking him why he was scared of its content.
‘The picture of you astride the mirror, masturbating? I thought that was horrible. It just strikes me as horrible,’ he responded.

Madonna said she was intrigued by the responses to the book’s content.
‘I think that people’s reactions to specific situations in the book was much more a reflection of that person than me,’ she said.
The singer went on to ask Carleton: ‘Are you frightened of a woman that can turn herself on?’
‘A little bit, yes. That’s right. I don’t know why…But I’m here to talk about you, not me,’ Carleton responded.

Madonna also posted a message alongside the video, touching on the outrage she’s received over the span of her decades-long career as the bonafide ‘Queen Of Pop’.
The Grammy Award-winning performer also said she believes that she’s ‘paved the way’ for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Cardi B and pop culture icon Kim Kardashian.
’30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. in addition to photos of me naked there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone,’ she wrote.
‘I think that people’s reactions to specific situations in the book was much more a reflection of that person than me,’ Madonna said
Madonna continued: ‘I also wrote about my sexual fantasies and shared my point of view about sexuality in an ironic way.’
The Borderline singer went on to express that she was the target of criticism from less open-minded individuals.
‘I spent the new few years being interviewed by narrow minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman,’ she recalled.

Madonna then revealed that she ‘was called a w****, a witch a heretic and the devil’ during the period of time.
The hitmaker went on to express that modern entertainers were allowed to be much more open about their sexualities.
‘Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked a** and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball,’ she said.
