It was a friend's birthday at work today yesterday, and someone bought her the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

I came this close to just blurting out "Oh god, the bad Twilight fanfic porn makes the baby Jesus cry..." before I remembered I was in work and just smiled and backed away.

A few of us went to lunch yesterday. One of my co-workers commented that his partner has read all three and he is enjoying the results. He then said she hadn't heard of a butt plug so it appears to me that the non-fandomed may be using them as a sex manual. Another colleague said it was probably a shame there wasn't more than three of them at which point "It's not like there isn't plenty on the internet" popped out of my mouth leading to 3 pairs of eyes swivelling in my direction.

I'm torn between lol'ing and wincing at the thought of using that book as a sex manual. Some of the excerpts I've read... no, just no.

I'm sure I saw a review on Amazon when i was trying to work out why everyone was so excited about it that said it was abusive (in a relationship sense, not to everyone's intelligence... although if you've read some excerpts, maybe both). Hopefully they'll pass over those bits. Oh good grief! I really did not need to wonder if my co-worker has a whip lying around the house. I am amused that there is now one that is titled 'Barbara Cartland meets Twilight'.
