slaves, tell me about 50 Shades of Grey

if anything it's sort of charming how quaint this phenomenon is. ime any kind of kinky sex media, from sade to porn, is not exactly hard to find. it's like the book doesn't really matter, somebody just found the last audience on earth who hadn't even heard of this kind of thing before

xp "Snowqueen's Icedragon" haha oh god

let's stop talking about these books and talk about this instead

ime any kind of kinky sex media, from sade to porn

lol guess how I misread this

This book is ridiculously popular in the airport bookshop where I work. So much so that head office decided porn must sell well so ordered in a whole raft of titles most of which have 'punish' or 'slave' or 'mistress' somewhere in the title. Thing is '50 shades of grey' has a pretty nondescript front cover which people don't seem to mind picking up and bringing to the counter whereas the books they've ordered in have women in bondage gear looking either v distressed or resigned to their fate on the front cover. Not really likely to sell. Oh well.

A truley exquisite piece of music which I would never had come across had it not been for the book, dare I mention it's name. I agree that it's better to stumble into the sublime masterpiece rather than a 2 a penny pop tunes.My Christian is Max Brown aka Edward Seymour in The Tudors also patron of Thomas Tallis.

Can't wait to see how they're gonna turn this into a PG-13 movie

The best thing about Spem in alium is seeing a live performance of it; the piece as written starts out in choir 1 and travels down through choir 8, has a big climax with everyone singing, then restarts in 8 and travels back up through 1. You have this sense of the piece actually leaping from group to group, traveling all around the stage/hall (usually there are groups scattered all around to create this stereophonic effect) like a stately dance.

also, you're being assfucked

I will never be able to figure that movie out. What was the thought process involved to turn that book into a comedy starring Ackroyd and O'Donnell, aka the two people you never want to think about having kinky bondage sex? xxp

also, you're being assfucked

50 or no deal

A little weird putting a followup post from the Excelsior thread back on a source thread but:

occurred to me that the Kindle is what has made this book so big, because who wants to be seen holding a porno book on the subway? but with the kindle you can read your porn in public and no-one knows. except for the person looking over your shoulder (which was me, one day, on BART....I realized later that the book the woman was reading had to have been this. it was pages and pages of someone getting fucked in a bathroom and included the line "put your cock in my mouth". she was a polite looking middle aged mexican lady.)

anyway I'm sure none of this is as good as the anne rice porn books.

I saw someone reading the second bk on the train just this morning, don't think the covers are putting anyone off, really. Or getting anyone off, unfortunately.

The Roquelaure books are first-class for budding dabbling in erotica.

my wife's fb feed has been full of Midwestern moms posting e.g. "reading 50 Shades & my husband is getting sore from all the pounding" so I'm just happy nice people are getting megalaid out of this

This Thomas Tallis fellow makes me want to convert to Catholicism.

On the flight from Auckland to San Francisco I sat next to a woman about my age who was reading 50 Shades of Grey. I was about midway through the new Stephen King and was not at all tired, so basically her and I had this mini-readathon for almost the whole flight - there was never a time when we were both not either reading or sleeping, but mostly reading.

I'd seen the books at every airport during my trip but I didn't know anything about them so now I'm like ...well they can't be written any better than Twilight or she'd have been running off to the bathroom the whole time, lol

Also consider this: Muse inspired S Meyer to write Twilight. and now Snow Patrol/Kings of Leon inspire 50 Shades of Grey.
I think we need some kind of master plan to deal with these poisonous influences.

Are we about due for a terrible sexy pirate book inspired by The Script?

Movie soundtrack to include Kaizer Chiefs?

Louis XIV iirc

Ball gag with a skull and crossbones on it

Strap-on hook

Some of the most disturbing parrot sex in contemporary literature

A Red Room of T-PAIN, where they AutoTune the fuck out of you.

You beat me by 2 seconds, I was about to just post "Sex Parrot"

We need to get a Captain Morgan tie-in deal on this, too.

50 men shit on a dead girl's chest, yo ho yo ho

Perfection.

I kind of want to turn this into a Tallis thread

Can someone explain to me, actually, the phenomenon of women posting about reading this book on facebook? You don't really see guys posting "Ready for a relaxing evening -- a sixer of Sierras in the fridge and Anal Sluts 3 in the DVD player, lol!"

and really, thank god for that

I know, i mean i'm assuming whoever posted upthread about seeing that sort thing on his fb feed was exaggerating, but still it sort of boggles my mind

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120501163509AAQHAVt

i mean, not mentioning reading it, but more the added comments about sex life with their husband

i guess it ties in to the mass popularity/acceptance thing

I don't think it's exaggeration. I have seen TONS of people on Twitter mentioning that they're reading it. Like, every woman I know. (Although one of them tweeted the other day: "#FiftyShadesOfGrey I just finished it. Gotta say it did very little for me. What's up with all the women that go cuh-razy for it? #NotSoSexy.")

xp obvs

You can still read the original online but googling the title (posted upthread) + pdf. just fyi.

my stepmom brought it up at dinner the other night. and my dumbest coworker tried to convince us all to read it.

can anyone confirm or deny that the so-called tampon scene actually appears in the book? my belief in god depends on the answer, thx

He sets a punishing rhythm – in, out, and he reaches around and finds my clitoris, massaging me… oh jeez. I can feel myself quicken.

50 Shades of Grey: The Quickening

are they having sex or making bread

Oh jeez.

I am lolling hard at "oh jeez"

oops, there goes my skirt down under my feet, oh jeez

^^^ lolz

Oh, jeez. Argh.

“That’s right, baby,” he rasps as he grinds into me

Hahaha are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? This woman is now a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE for this?

a few comments down on that thread:

Originally in the fic he threw [the tampon] on the floor. When fans got insanely grossed out, she changed it to the toilet.

i don't know what's worse, throwing a used tampon on the floor or actively reminding the reader that all the sexy action is happening next to a toilet.

"oh jeez. oh gosh golly. oh... goodness! heavens to betsy!"
