50 Shades Of Grey - Who's Bought Their Partner This?
Discussion
Surprised there isn't a thread for this.
"Mummy Porn" book 50 Shades Of Grey is now the fastest selling book in UK history out-selling even Harry Potter in its hey-day.

Written by a woman for women its basically an S&M novel for the girls.
I suspect many a bloke had given this as a present to his partner in the hopes of some added action that night

From what I've been told the gistof it is: Virgin girly goes for a job with Mr Grey who gets her to enter into a contract that includes a 'she's to do anything he wants' clause.
Cue lots of S&M on almost every page after about 5 chapters or so.
Sounds not too different from the film 'The Secretary'Cue lots of S&M on almost every page after about 5 chapters or so.

So what actually happens in it then?
Have you not been reading the thread - its been explained twice.How long before somebody else pops up to ask that? I give it 5 pages...max.

Doesn't really give the full outline or any details? Or have I missed that post?
...no, that really is the premise in a nutshell. Any more 'details' and we'd basically be re-typing the book.NSFW Extract from book:
“You want it, you got it, baby,” he mutters, producing a foil packet from his pants pocket while he unzips his pants. Oh Mr. Boy Scout. He rolls the condom over his erection and gazes down at me. “I sure hope you’re ready,” he breathes, a salacious smile across his face. And in a moment, he’s filling me, holding my wrists tightly by my side, and thrusting into me deeply. I groan… oh yes.
“Christ, Ana. You’re so ready,” he whispers in veneration.

Crikey this thread has been seriously hijacked.
A thread about women and filth, on PH, and your expectations were Still, as you say, what should I have expected

As you say joshing aside, if this book prompts a divorce then I suspect there is more wrong with the marriage then just boring sex, though it could give them the "out" they are looking for. On the up side, I suspect sales in Whips, chains, cuffs, scarf's, rubber and lube is all about to go up. This book could lift us out of recession
Thats actually an interesting point...I wonder if (say) Ann Summers has noticed an upsurge in its sales of 'toys' to female shoppers since the book started to take off.g3org3y said:
Only risqué for people who have never surfed the internet for porn. I suspect the average male would be disappointed by its softcoreness.
Thats the whole point though - its a book BY a woman FOR women . Hence the title of this thread.Women don't usually surf the net looking for hardcore porn, they're (generally) altogether softer creatures than us hairy-arsed blokes and long may it remain so.
I for one don't want a partner with the sensibilities of your average bricklayer.
This book has clearly struck a chord with the female of the species having what a lot of them would regard as just the right level of courseness to not offend but rather stimulate.
I think the excerpt I posted earlier demonstrates the fine line being trodden by the author keeping just this side of acceptance to a female audience.
A bloke would have written that excerpt in an entirely different/more hardhitting way.

I couldnt wait to read this on holibobs so started this evening. About half way through and can't put it down.
Every woman needs a bit of Mr Grey in their life. Despite the reviews of it being poorly written, I believe it raises very relevant issues about sexual relationships and also the care of oneself when you give yourself to someone else. Very thought provoking.

You what?
Of course they do, the large majority of my female friends quite happily discuss it with me. They may have slightly different tastes in what they watch but they still go for some good solid filth.

Quite diverse but only about 20 in number.
Including:
Essex girls, teachers, doctors, nurses, marketing girls, barmaids and a professor.
English, German, Dutch and South African with one Yank and an Aussie thrown in.
Just one fat chick for good measure
Am I doing it wrong mate?
