| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/29/2012 3:36:44 PM | I wonder if anyone who enjoyed this book ever reads anything else at all[ HA! I just had a conversation with a woman and that's what she said. She's 27 *almost* She'd never heard of the books, but has lived the "lifestyle" since age 19. She wondered this very thing. And then? She opined she'd like to see a few "vanilla" women live this for a week. I have to agree. Playing (as they are in the book) is vastly different than the books......than living under a contract 24/7/365. JMO  | |

| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/29/2012 5:41:16 PM | I would like to point these ladies to The Marketplace series by Laura Antoniou and then see what they think. 
CafePress has a great t-shirt that says, "If the Marketplace were real, I wouldn't be here." | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/29/2012 6:18:24 PM | | I finished the series & I think most women would LOVE a Christian Gray in their lives, in their arms & in their bed.. I think it would be a turn on to read it with a lover. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/29/2012 6:31:22 PM | | See if you can find a copy of "the story of O" I was in my 20's when I read it & I thought it was hot stuff. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/29/2012 8:13:44 PM | ^^^ It's still in print, available on Amazon and often at your local B&N.
I think it would be a turn on to read it (50 Shades) with a lover.
We'd be laughing too hard at the inept writing and the dumbazz plot. I'd rather spend the time using all the dungeon equipment and the toys in my bag, and using them the right way. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/30/2012 2:56:31 AM | I read all three of the books online and this is why I'm glad I don't care about having a serious girlfriend. If this is what women want in a guy, then there are A LOT of women out there who need therapy.
So glad I know the truth about women. Too bad they look so damn good though lol. | |

| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 6:06:30 AM | | my friends all say the trilogy sucks, though i wish i could be in the upcoming movie | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 8:28:20 AM | I am done the first book and starting the second........really hot!!! I dont think so.
I also am looking for a Christian Grey. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 6:18:19 PM | This book is really disturbing to me.
A guy putting you on a diet is hot? EW. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 8:28:32 PM | Is this book really any different that the numerous cheesy romance novels out there? Haven't read it.....and don't plan to.......just wondering! | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 8:31:29 PM | | It's much darker, Micki. It's also very sexist, anti female, and perverted. If this is what most women want nowadays, our society is doomed! | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 8:35:45 PM | It just all seems so unrealistic to me.......from what I hear peeps saying about it..... I have to wonder if women really want a man like that ??
I sure as hell don't. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 8:39:22 PM | Funny, my wife is reading it right now.
She says it's a super easy read, so my first grade reading level should be able to handle it... | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 9:34:01 PM | | its all about Hype ,Plus He is a billionaire; that says it all | |

Some women have fantasies about control and unbridled passion. That's the part that confuses me... my disconnect is when to figure out when its something women want to move to roleplay and when they have a fantasy that they just want to keep a fantasy...
The easiest way to deal with it is TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOUR PARTNER. Geez a lot of the stuff in those books that keeps the passion and tension driving for the readers, is that they NEVER get around to being completely open about how they feel. You hear thoughts they say out loud in the narrative of the story, but they are NOT saying it to each other. As far as I know, mind reading has not been invented yet, so in real life, we do trial-and-error until we get it right -- or get kicked out. Talking before, during, and after - and about - sex makes a huge difference in a relationship. | |

| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 7/31/2012 11:33:06 PM | | That's O.K. ...I'm working on a book us men can relate to titled fifty shades of pink. | |

| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 8/1/2012 7:26:13 AM | | Suggested reading... The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice under the pseudonym of A. N. Roquelaure... | |

I read this about 10 years ago.........much much better than the 50 series......that is abit tame, its just a romance story....... | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 8/5/2012 10:39:51 AM | | I have female friend saying the same thing about the book. Women like fantasies. Unfortunately, as I keep telling her, you have to open the door for a CHRISTIAN GREY to visit you. | |
|
| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 8/5/2012 5:47:53 PM | | I just finished reading the third one.....all I can say is that this book makes a woman more willing to try "new things" | |

| 50 Shades of Grey Posted: 8/6/2012 6:59:10 PM | | My boss told me that his wife really liked the books, I'm going to start reading them very soon. | |
