With shades, women are acting as if this is the first time erotica has every been written.

more accurately it's due to the popularity.
women practically have no sense of thinking for themselves.
almost every decision they make and every opinion they have is weighed against everyone else's.
So now that there is porn they can feel guiltless about reading, they're jumping all over it.
You can take my word for it, I took a psych class in college.

My female read all three in the series in about three days.

Mfw she's horny as shit and practically stays on my dick during that time. I'll take it. Definitely worth ordering if you're married.

Anonymous Thu Jul 12 02:19:33 2012 No.2801460

I'm reading it now actually. Little more than 1/3 way through and I had to stop because it's just not going anywhere. The prose is boring as fuck, ya'll know that, but the plot just feels mundane and isn't going anywhere. There's no peril or excitement whatsoever. It's just the sex which gets slightly more extreme at a snails pace, and yet it doesn't go so far out that it gets strange or interesting. I guess if you're a prudish, boring housewife 20 year old chastised girl who's never heard of S/M you'd find something that might get your juices flowing, but for anyone else it's just nothing.

I'd like to think that at least half of those billions and billions of sales were to people who were interested but thought it sucked as well. I bought it after all...

Technically it is correct, she has and will influence future publishing enormously.

You wouldn't hate reality so much if you ignored trash like Time. Afterall this site placed moot as number one.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jul 12 03:17:15 2012 No.2801530 The worst part is that us of the BDSM community hate it. It isn't an accurate representation of BDSM at all. Also, people are showing up at BDSM play nights with one pair of fuzzy handcuffs and saying that they're "experienced masters"..

Anonymous Thu Jul 12 03:19:16 2012 No.2801533

Maybe Shades' success has to do with availability.

This piece of trash must have found a ridiculous amount of house wives and sexless girls that just didn't have any literary smut before it came along.

How it's 'socially acceptable' plays a role as well, I'm sure.

Actually, I bet that would be funny to watch.

See some poor, hapless woman struggling to cope with the reality of what BDSM actually is as black-clad slave-master combos do nasty things around her in the dark.

I hope this is happening somewhere in the world right now.
