Has the whole world gone mad? :D


Anyway a friend of mine (female of course) just sent me the trilogy of books for my 50th birthday. 50 Shades, 50 years old. Is she just trying to be funny?

I guess what I'm saying is, since I don't know any guys who've read them, are there any here who have? And are they worth reading or should I pass them along to some woman who hasn't read them yet? (Assuming I can find one)

I'm sortof flabbergasted you would even ask this.

You can only read these books if you have a vagina, if you read them otherwise be assured you will grow one.

Just asking this question puts you in the ambivalent sex category IMO.

But at 50 you can do whatever you want. If you really want a review by a man, ask Sally Rand.

I've not read it - but the wife has. And from what she tells me, it's merely softcore bdsm done by someone who fantasizes what it's probably like...rather than experienced it for themselves.

For those of us already in the alternative lifestyle...the story sounded rather sanitized - like a Reader's Digest interpretation of bdsm/submission.

I don't understand people - do you want to read about having sex or just have it already.

I recently surprised to learn that some of my "non adult friends" are a lot more kinkier than we had expected.... Good for them.

It is not a good read. No matter if you're male or female :)

I read the first one as I like knowing what women are getting off on. The books are really badly written but every woman in the world is reading so why not see what they think is fun in the bedroom when the whips and chains come out?

I was sort of surprised as I am not a fan of pain but it seems most women are not against it.

If you want to read good erotica, don't read 50 Shades. It is shit.

Try anything Violet Blue has edited or written. Some great stuff there.

I actually did read some of it out of curiosity - just to see what all these middle-aged soccer moms were flicking their beans over. It's fucking ridiculous and horribly written. This reclusive billionare, twenty-something "industrialist" - who looks just like Robert Pattison because the story originated as a piece of Twilight fan fiction - who made huge sums of money in the way that women think ?industrialists? make money, which is: they don?t know. So he just owns a bunch of factories where things are made by hand right here in the good old U S of A and a bunch of farms where man and beast alike are treated ethically and humanely. So when he's asked about his massive hoard of non-inherited money bootstrapped from nothing with the sweat of his brow - the man, who is under thirty, speaks of how he ?knows people? and the key is his forty thousand employees, all of whom he has hand-selected and pays what they?re worth and listens to their ideas and blah blah blah - He just takes time out of his billionare day to track down this barely legal cub reporter who interviewed him about his fortune for her school paper and make her his fuckslave.

So he does all kinds of shit to her. He duct tapes her to a chair, blindfolds her, gags her, beats the shit out of her, pulls a tampon out of her cooch and then fucks her period pussy and sprays hot, salty jizz all over her face. Some other shit, too, I just kind of skimmed it.
