50 shades of grey...

It's so popular and there is a pyramid dedicated to the book in every bookstore; I almost bought a copy because I thought surely something that popular could not be that bad. Then I decided to read some reviews on Amazon to gain some insight into what I was potentially getting myself into....

"I enjoy erotica and heard so much about this book that I had to give it a shot, but I'm five chapters in and just can't take it anymore. This has to be the most appallingly atrocious writing I've ever seen in a major release. The pseudonymous British author sets the action (such as it is) in Washington State... for no reason than that her knowledge of America apparently consists of what she read in "Twilight"... but the entire first-person narrative is filled with Britishisms. How many American college students do you know who talk about "prams," "ringing" someone on the phone, or choosing a "smart rucksack" to take "on holiday"? And the author's geography sounds like she put together a jigsaw puzzle of the Pacific Northwest while drunk and ended up with several pieces in the wrong place.

And oh, the repetition...and the repetition...and the repetition. I'm convinced the author has a computer macro that she hits to insert one of her limited repertoire of facial expressions whenever she needs one. According to my Kindle search function, characters roll their eyes 41 times, Ana bites her lip 35 times, Christian's lips "quirk up" 16 times, Christian "cocks his head to one side" 17 times, characters "purse" their lips 15 times, and characters raise their eyebrows a whopping 50 times. Add to that 80 references to Ana's anthropomorphic "subconscious" (which also rolls its eyes and purses its lips, by the way), 58 references to Ana's "inner goddess," and 92 repetitions of Ana saying some form of "oh crap" (which, depending on the severity of the circumstances, can be intensified to "holy crap," "double crap," or the ultimate "triple crap"). And this is only part one of a trilogy...

lol, no thank you.
 
I suspect part of the book's popularity is because few of its readers have much experience with written erotica to begin with, online or in print. I don't know how many women read Literotica or those fantasies in "that" section of the bookstore, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot smaller than, say, the number of men who surf porn sites daily.
 
I don't trust any book this popular...just like Hunger Games and Twilight, it's anything but original, shitty writing, and often times simply sleazy.

Wild sex is one thing, but people who are looking to be psychologically abused and dominated or people who want to do this have issues. There must be some unresolved issue in their childhoods or past. You can have extremely passionate and fulfilling sexual encounters without this BDSM bullshit. BDSM is violence, and there is no doubt about that. Whether it's done willingly or not, you are sick for wanting to bring violence into your sex life and I've never known anybody stay in that kind of relationship for long. You may enjoy the freak sex, but your day-to-day non sexual experiences are going to be shit.

The stuff only adds to existing emotional scars and does not "release" anything but in fact pushes the envelope wider for total insanity and total lack of trust and fear. And any dude that wants to use violence and sexual abuse on his partner to feel good is not in reality "the self-confident, masculin man" he is now portrayed to be, but a sick, weak, and twisted individual. Same with the woman who seeks this type of stuff. It's not a lifestyle choice at this point, it's a cry for help.

I'll now expect ridiculed as a "repressed Vanilla weakling" for not accepting tying people up and beating them. Kiss my ass, I'm here to take a speak out against this violence and I am stronger than you.

"Some people cannot experience pleasure. They can only experience deep feelings when they are truly painful," said Judy Kuriansky, a sexologist and psychology professor at Columbia University. "Everyone is looking for some sort of sensation. For true masochists that experience becomes distorted and they can only feel something when it hurts."

Kuriansky said masochism is more about power than sex and that events in one's early childhood could prime a person to associate pain with sexual gratification.

Kuriansky said it was rare for a masochist to finally become capable of associating sex with pleasure and love instead of pain and danger.

"There is a triumvirate of guilt, embarrassment and fear of intimacy for these people," she said. "It is rare that all of a sudden they can give up on being interested in pain and suddenly be capable of being loved."

I know, I b craaaaazy lol...but, I'm not saying that it should be outlawed or anything, even if you are dumb enough to kill yourself by asphyxiating in a leather mask or some shit like that.

I'm just tired of the 15 year+ "coming out party" for this shit. Thanks Quentin Taratino for your fabulous "gimp scene" where Ving Rhames gets buttraped by some creepy white dude. I'm tired of people trying to sell this shit as healthy and being something we all secretly want to do. Go back into your "closets" now and chain yourselves up and don't forget the gag. Bye.
 
Oh dear... Whenever I read erotica it's to get off to. I really do enjoy erotica, but as a bookworm for most my life it has to be half-ass decently written.

So why would someone take the time to read a sub par novel with some kinky sex scenes? Is it viewed as less taboo than just straight literotica?

Personal opinion: Erotica is for fapping. Vonnegut is for reading.

I feel like if I'm going to spend my time on a book it should be a good, at least decent, book.
 
I've read and seen some Youtube vids from BDSMers who are highly against this book and the supposed "mainstreaming" of BDSM culture. They criticize the book for have highly unrealistic expectations of sex and bondage and they worry that this will lead women into abusive relationships because they don't have a clue what they are getting into.

That's the way it should be. BDSMers should be allowed to do what they want as long as it is consentual, but it needs to remain underground. This is not kids stuff here.

It's honestly not such a beloved book as it is made out to be. There is an extreme amount of media hype pushing this along. Same with the garbage that was Twilight and Hunger Games.
 
Author E.L. James is not too pretty huh? lol.

what to read after fifty shades of grey

Anything by Nora Roberts is guaranteed to be good. Right now I'm reading His Every Desire by Emma Rose and it's worth a read as well (though it is a bit...descriptive like fifty shades of grey).
