Warning: Graphic Language is in this blog, if you get offended easily I strongly suggest that you don't read!!
This time this entry is going to be more than just a blog, it's going to border on book review. I, like millions of other women out there, finally read the Fifty Shades Trilogy and am now obsessed with these books. How do I know that millions of others are reading it too you ask? These books have held the top four sales spots for book sales for the past few months. Maybe even longer, I really don't know for sure. All I know is that these books are amazing and I think every woman on the planet needs to indulge herself and read them!!!
I honestly don't remember where I heard about Fifty Shades but I was ultimately interested when I heard that it started out as a fan fiction based off of the characters of Twilight. ( If you have been following and reading this blog I have randomly dropped hints that I am a Twilight fanatic as well.) So I, like any other person, googled this information and found the fan fiction in question. Now, for those of you who have no clue what fan fiction is, I will enlighten you. Fan Fiction are stories that fans of books or movies have created to either put their own twist on the same story, take the story further than the book/movie did or use the same characters as the original but make the story their own. This is what E.L. James did with the Fifty Shades Trilogy. She took the characters from Twilight and wrote them into her own story. When she decided that she wanted more than just a post on a web site she changed a few things, the characters names and BOOM!! Fifty Shades Trilogy is born!! Halleluiah!!!!!! Mommy Porn is born!!!! After reading the fan fiction aptly named Master of the Universe, I had to read the books.....the obsession was born.
The whole story stars out with a young college girl, Anastasia Steele, who gets stuck doing an interview with a handsome, young business mogul, Christian Grey, as a favor to her flu ridden roomate. Anastasia is immediately taken with Christian but denies her feelings until she is asked to coffee by Christian at a photo shoot she arranged so there would be photos to go with the interview that was going to be published in the college paper. At this point the lurid yet delicious affair between Christian and Anastasia begins leaving women everywhere wanting their own Christian Grey.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! If you haven't read the books yet and don't want to know what happens until you do I suggest that you close this page out now.....For those of you still with me....Time to get freaky!!!! What makes the affair and eventual relationship between Christian and Ana so delicious and keeps us wanting more is the forbidden nature of it. Christian is waaayyyy into BDSM. If you don't know what that is think whips, paddles and handcuffs mixed with awesome sex. There is more to it of course but well, you get the idea. Then a shocking truth is revealed, Ana is a virgin. This a truth that readers and Christian weren't expecting, but being the sexy and irresistible man that he turns out to be he remedies that situation with Ana's full consent. This is all after he reveals his intentions, makes her sign an NDA, and shows her what is affectionately referred to as the "red room of pain." As Ana looks around this room she promptly thinks "it feels like I’ve time-traveled back to the sixteenth century and the Spanish Inquisition." I will leave out the details of what she saw in this room but what was seen scared her and turned her on all at the same time. And so the sexy, torturous love affair between the submissive and her dominant begins, leaving all of us exploring the possibility that we want to maybe try out the "red room of pain." The sex scenes are plentiful with every woman wishing that they had sex 10 times a day and their boyfriends/husbands wondering where the sudden jump in their partners libido is coming from but not complaining because, well they're guys and sex occupies their minds ALL THE TIME. This wonderfully sexy novels do have a story line to them, everything from Ana overcoming a couple of Christians previous partners to an obsessive ex-boss that tries to kill them both. In the end, Ana finally gets her happily ever after.....Married to Christian and at the very end pregnant with her second child. Swoon!!!!!!!
I loved every second of these books and don't recommend reading them unless you have a boyfriend, husband or even a fuck buddy. They will turn you on and you will want to have sex. If you read them and don't have one of those three humans I have mentioned above well you know what other options you have, either go without and deal with the feelings of desire and sexiness or take the route that every man takes and rub one out!!! (Although that doesn't always help either. ) This book is gonna make you want to as Christian Grey said to Ana " I don't make love...I fuck...hard." Trust me, I did. My libido was on overdrive in the four days that I was reading these books. My husband didn't complain. (obviously, what man would while they have a woman so crazed with desire that they have the urge to fuck him every which way from sunday.) E.L James did a fantastic job reaching into every woman's brain and pulling out those innermost, forbidden fantasies that none of us will ever really do and putting it on paper for us to read about. Men have their Playboys and Hustler and Porn, we have Christian Grey in unbuttoned, ripped jeans with a riding crop!!!! Face it ladies, as strong willed and independent as we think we are we all wanted Christian to dominate us at some point and time, and would have let him do ANYTHING he wanted.
So in closing, READ THESE BOOKS!!! Get lost for a few hours in the sexy world that E.L. James created for us and if needed get to know yourself a little better!!! Until next time..........
