Fifty Shades of Lady Porn - pt 2!

Time to party with non bland characters in a really engaging and thoughtful story!


Just kidding - it's back to throwing shade at Shades.

Fifty Shades of Lady Porn

Ok. So there has been a lot of discussion about Fifty Shades of Grey recently, obviously, cause the movie just opened. People are giving it devious motivations such as normalising abusive relationships - I think it's lady porn so I give it a pass because in my opinion, no one should be modelling life long relationships on porn. Porn is a fantasy you visit, and then leave. I assumed this was a power/control fantasy that people could slip in and out of.

However I never read it, so felt a little out of place arguing on it. Now I didn't read it, because I thought it would be boring.

See, I LOVE SEX. I love sex, I'm not ashamed about it. I love my body, I love being naked, I love watching sex and porn, reading sex and porn, writing sex and porn. I especially like having sex, and trying new things wherever I happen to be.

So I avoided Fifty Shades because, well, I assume it is for people who aren't me.  I think female characters who are excessively innocent are indeed boring.  They're just not for me. They don't have to be.

BUT, I wanted to see if this book was touting itself as more than just lady porn (lady porn to me is romance to the reader whether it be good or bad romance + sex scenes + certain mary sue-ish qualities to the female character. If you're interested, I think male porn gets to the point quicker and is super graphic) and if people had a reason to think that this book could be taken seriously enough for fully grown, able minded women to misconstrue the relationship depicted for a "normal" relationship.

I thought while I read it, I might as well recap it, because... well I thought it might be funny.

So here we go, stream of conscious Fifty Shades of Grey...
