50 Shades Of Grey - Who's Bought Their Partner This?
Discussion
The wife bought all 3 editions from Asda today, and I've hardly heard a peep from her for about 3 hours. Now before anybody makes any smart comments she's laying on the sofa across the room from me, not entertaining herself upstairs 
I just asked if it was any good, and apparently 100 odd pages in and it's just a love story with no filth at all.
To be fair, I'm glad the smut doesn't start too early because im watching the football

Why does the multi-millionaire bit matter? Surely that just implies that you're willing to be used and abused - but only if the money's right.Rich sadist = sophisticated deviant.
Poor sadist = sick pervert.
It's like the eccentric/bats
t crazy phenomenon isn't it? Churchill: “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?”
Lady Astor: “My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…”
Churchill: “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?”
Lady Astor: “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!”
Churchill: “Madam, we have already established that. Now we are just haggling about the price.”

There was a programme on the telly last night featuring a couple where the husband had bought his wife the services of a (gorgeous) male escort for her birthday.
Now that's what I'd call a thoughtful gift.
Indeed. Would a wife ever do such a thing for her husband though?Now that's what I'd call a thoughtful gift.

Intriguing. I can't work out whether this sort of thing is the product of an emotionally stable and assured loving relationship that transcends what are seen as petty jealousies... or the product of a relationship where something good has just died. -Not judging, I honestly don't know the answer.
An interesting question; there's a big difference between a couple sharing an experience/adventure and being in a situation where it is just selfish fulfillment for one of the partners.When you think about it, it's an amazing gift and demonstration of trust to give someone such freedom in the right context.
Saturday evening I was chatting to three friends who had started reading these books, 2 married, one not, the books were cascading down the line and the last in the queue was the singleton. Unanimous verdict, not serious but a fun read!
The two married women said they couldn't ever see there husbands doing any of the stuff in the books and the singleton said her boyfriend was boring in bed. I was pleased to hear that as she's a real kitten, but it seems that money lay at the root of that relationship (he's very wealthy) and perhaps that's the real appeal of these books, the guy in it is fabulously wealthy and a bit kinky.
The books are a sort of escape from the quandary women find themselves in, home building is really strong in most, so wealth over-rules sex and all women can subvert sex for stability especially if it is dull sex in any case.
On a few occasions I have dated recently divorced women who just want to scratch an itch and I have left at 3 or 4 am just to ensure that they can't be accused of having a live in lover, the fear is (perfectly understandable) that they may compromise their position regarding house and bills etc, this stops anything other than a sort of extended f-b relationship. Not complaining, it's just how it is and this book appears to be just a form of safe escapism.
Anyway, back to the not quite so serious side of things, got the 'glad look' from the singleton, so I have some hope in that direction!

She gets a bonus based on sales and profit so please guys, keep buying, lol.
Half-price at £3.99 each or all three for a tenner in a certain supermarket chain currently...50 Shades Of Grey - Amazon
My summary.
It's an apocalyptically bad trilogy of mummy-p0rn books written by an obese housewife based on some naughty-fiction about the characters from twilight.
Unfortunately British women are now only capable of reading 4 books - harry potter, twilight, hunger games, and 50 shades. All I see are women on FB posting "haven't read a book since I left school until now". Are you serious?!?!
Facebook has A LOT to answer for.
This book is the x-factor of literature.
Rant over lol

Oh, Zep. The internet is not a problem for me. My bookmarks would make my mother weep.-Voltaire or Confucius or someone.
Alas, though I have no knowledge of "literary" smut...about the only thing I can get Mrs Ledge to peruse...
Am I the only one that senses a great deal of over hyped, poorly written- by most accounts- soft smut, that is now seem as a 'must read' by virtue of huge publicity and some risque verses? No doubt spreading like wildfire due to the press, facebook and god knows what else, which people think that they must read in order to fit in with the rest of the sheep?
