Do I think these chicks really like the idea of being caned and flogged? Probably not. But they love the fantasy of being "taken care of"
being caned and flogged : being "taken care of" :: forcible rape : romance-novel "ravishment"
I refuse to read these books, but I gather they're slightly more explicit Harlequin/Mills & Boon, fueled by the advent of e-readers (no need to go to a bookstore or be seen holding a book with a compromising cover).
isn't that the plot of lady chatterley's lover? he's a gardener iirc
still, stone cold classic plot.
He was a gamekeeper in LCL, but yes, classic since at least Joseph and Potiphar's wife.

what makes me wonder is... are these fantasies (and I can't act like I don't have any that aren't really similar once in a while--err--TMI?) inherent in women, or are they all propagated by romance novels/films/books, etc? Which came first?

He does ask her about her menstrual cycle at one point, if I recall. And yanks out her tampon so he can fuck her. And makes her a doctor appointment so she can get on the pill.
Pretty much she's his big girl kitty cat.
No wonder almost 80% (from what I've seen) of the women on Fetlife have usernames that involve "Kitty" or "Kitten"

this is a short description of the book linked upthread if you don't want to click on it for some weird reason
n The Origins of Sex, Faramerz Dabhoiwala provides a landmark history, one that will revolutionize our understanding of the origins of sexuality in modern Western culture. For millennia, sex had been strictly regulated by the Church, the state, and society, who vigorously and brutally attempted to punish any sex outside of marriage. But by 1800, everything had changed. Drawing on vast research--from canon law to court cases, from novels to pornography, not to mention the diaries and letters of people great and ordinary--Dabhoiwala shows how this dramatic change came about, tracing the interplay of intellectual trends, religious and cultural shifts, and politics and demographics. The Enlightenment led to the presumption that sex was a private matter; that morality could not be imposed; that men, not women, were the more lustful gender. Moreover, the rise of cities eroded community-based moral policing, and religious divisions undermined both church authority and fear of divine punishment. Sex became a central topic in poetry, drama, and fiction; diarists such as Samuel Pepys obsessed over it. In the 1700s, it became possible for a Church of Scotland leader to commend complete sexual liberty for both men and women. Arguing that the sexual revolution that really counted occurred long before the cultural movement of the 1960s, Dabhoiwala offers readers an engaging and wholly original look at the Western world's relationship to sex.

For some reason I'm thinking LL's book there is probably sexier in its intellectual stimulation and reading quality than this 50 Shades crap

I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic of human sexuality in UK/western world. The stuff about prostitution in particular has been especially illuminating imo. Do not expect a full global experience though.

I was on the train the other day and a very annoying loud woman was on the phone to a friend (why some women feel a desperate need to talk to their girlfriends at 8am on the train at great length, every morning, I have no idea but thats an aside...) anyway out of nowhere shes all "oh and OMIGAWD, have you heard about that 50 shades of grey book, OMIGAWD, I hear its like, full on PORN, like, it is FULL ON, I kind of want to read it, you know? Like no really, it is FULL ON".
(this is Aus bogan slang for "it is livelier than your usual Mills and Boon, I assure you").
This left me kind of bemused. Is the fact it has porn at all, some kind of selling point? Like, do these women find this shocking/surprising, like it is a new thing that you can - omigawd - BUY BOOKS WITH REALLY RUDE STUFF IN.

True story. I was in a bookstore near the University of Chicago today (57th Street Books, best bookstore on Earth), and an older African-American lady came into the store and asked for 50 Years of Grey.

The "Fifty Shades" erotic trilogy is expected to hit the 20 million-sales mark in the U.S. this week, making it one of the fastest-selling book series in recent memory.
....
For much of the spring, the trilogy's author, E. L. James, accounted for one in five adult-fiction physical books sold in the U.S., according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks 75% of U.S. book retail sales.

yo do any of you guys feel like you'd want to hook up with e.l. james just to see what it would be likelike, when she tried to send you to 7-11 to get some kool whip and you just straight up lay it down and bring out all sorts of REAL WORLD freaky shit that she's clearly never experienced since she's pushing these "like a bag of sand"-level descriptions of sexyou guys know what i mean?
