Lou's Top Fifty of Fifty Shades of Grey

The cultural impact of this trilogy has just started to surface. Movie, product lines, music CDs. In essence it is a love story, Harlequin Romance meets kinky sex. Honestly that doesn't give you the range of nuanced and in depth material EL James has packed into her books. I mean let's be serious I know the world of sexuality and I write books. This was a LOL highly enjoyable read for me, and one I almost didn't do. I thought 'Oh I can avoid reading it, nope couldn't happen. I have two projects and I need to KNOW what's in these books. Devotees expect it. What vanilla can learn from kink. What the BDSM world really is like. What is effective about how Ana and Christian communicate, their range of toys, the eroticism of power exchange play. The sub has all the power. Next week I'll go into depth about the positions and talk with Emily Prior of the Center for Positive Sexuality about the kink, BDSM world. Why people are captivated by it.
