[WARNING 18+/NSFW] 50 Shades of Gay

Learn_To_Know wrote: @steamboat28

I understand the fifty shades of grey series is a trilogy and not just 50 pages (your post said you only got through that much). What message is it sending in those first 50 pages?

Do you know if it's the same message by the end of the last book?

As I said in my disclaimer, I couldn't stomach more than the first 50 pages of the book. However, I know a lot of "vanilla" girls who read it and subsequently gushed about it FOR WEEKS, and a boatload of people in the BDSM community that wanted it to be a good representation of their sub(*snort*)culture because of the attention it was getting and thusly decided to read it as well. Based on these two completely opposing opinions giving me the same information (though one loved and one loathed), I think I made the right decision in putting it down.

Lol Steam.

I read the whole thing. Many chapters were read aloud in the company of flat mates and red wine, in our best Mills and Boons voices.

The plot is somewhat insulting.

Rich man with attitude problem is tamed by young virgin, who in turn is permitted to blossom into a more womanly version of herself through the trials of loving him.... and in the end, they get married and have babies and live happily ever after (yes, actually)

Its every bad romance novel ever written... but with a LOT more sex.


I think I'll keep my opinions on WHY it was so successful to myself, else i will be found by the feminists and lynched!! :woohoo: :silly:

Brenna, does it have anything to do with a rabbit and rechargeable batteries?

Sorry, that slipped. :evil:

I think people should read "The Story of O" - Ann Desclos

Or " Philosophy in the Bedroom" - Marquis De Sade

Rather than 50 Shades of Boredom.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! OH!!! MY SIDES HURT........okay back to normal......LOL....

Truthfully I have read both series, disliked both of them. Long story of why I read both of them, but truthfully some of the absolute worst story lines and character development I have ever seen. What scares me is that so many people use these two books as a gauge for relationships.

I found that video when spending too long of a time in a video chatroom full of satanists. To all I shared it with, your welcome


Asides from that I thought the grey part was about like morality, like finding the line. I thought the author was a massive troll and was looking at how far she could go in terms of greyness before the publish told her to chill.

Nah it's sex

I feel like we should specify what kind of tip.
