I can't get away from this book no matter what fuckin way i turn.

So you guys can suffer with it now as well.

Facebook is rampant, work is rampant and the classes i go are rampant of this fuckin book.

Sure, i do sit with the ladies wherever i try to go so i probably should be expecting this...

My girlfriend and her pals were talking about this book when we were out on Saturday night, I understand that it's porn for women and gets them very moist.

Fuck off, and talk about your erotic fiction somewhere else - like the nearest coffee shop while you rim the barista.

The missus was talking about getting it. More luck to her I suppose. And if it warms her up for me? Fucking masterpiece.

More likely she will expect you to last longer than 45 seconds from now on Cerb. :D

The funny thing is that that article has a good point.

Anyone want to guess my missus reaction if I ask her how she feels about some domination?

I want it in writing that it was probably her that killed me if I don't post after today...

I bet if you turned up with a copy of Crack-Whore-Shag-Month-Weekly and started gawping at the well-pummelled flaps at lunchtime the women would be up in arms tho...

To be fair, while you have a point, you should compare these books to "dear penthouse" more then pics of poonanny.

On topic though; damn FH getting so feminine/metro that they fight over shoes and read womens erotic novels :p

I had this exact conversation with my girlfriend last night. I object to the disparity of the situation that its seemingly ok for "ladies' erotic fiction", but women bitch ad nauseum about their boyfriend / husbands porn habit.

IT'S SO DEGRADING TO WOMEN.

To be fair, watching six midgets smash the backdoor of some slag in is pretty degrading to women. Midgets, too, really.

My girlfriend read an extract from this pile of turgid wank and said it "read like Twilight fan-fiction", as it goes she was on the money:

Origin as fan fiction

Fifty Shades of Grey has attracted criticism due to its origin as a fan fiction based on the Twilight novels, with some readers predicting copyright issues due to this connection.[20] Amanda Hayward of The Writer's Coffee Shop responded to these claims by stating that Fifty Shades of Grey "bore very little resemblance to Twilight" and that "Twilight and Fifty Shades Trilogy are worlds apart".[20] In April 2012, E. L. James was listed as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World",[21] with Richard Lawson of The Atlantic Wire criticising her inclusion due to the trilogy's fanfiction beginnings.[22]

Is it fuck.

The reason women say OMGZ! DEGRADINGZ0R!11!1 - is that they feel inadequate next to porn stars. Find me a porn star who thinks it's degrading.

Women find erotic literature as erotic as men find pictures of naked women - because men are more turned-on by visual stimuli, whereas women are more turned-on by the ideas.

Therefore, when you take this difference in the sexes in mind, erotic fiction is to women what jazz mags are to men. No difference.


So - if hardcore porn is degrading to women then erotic fiction is therefore OMGZ! DEGRADING to men because, as the mash hit the nail with (in a roundabout way) "Sexual subjugation is hugely arousing when practised with a devastatingly handsome multi-millionaire who buys you iPads and Audis, less so with someone who picks his toenails during CSI: Miami"...

...i.e. men become reduced to items of fantasy - as women are with normal porn - and we can't measure up to fantasy - which is what women are really bitching about when it comes to porn.

Q.E.D. :)

I mentioned this a while ago in the book thread, Not very well written, with a very weak storyline. It's selling because of the sex, and word of mouth has caused a massive run on book sales.

Only problem with that argument ofcourse is that, especially concerning middle-aged white men, there hasn't been any oppression towards them and rarely in porn is the man put in a submissive position.

Can't remember where i read/heard it about the similar thing in games; "while busty women are an object of sexual fantasy for men in games, the burly 6pack men are a identity fantasy for men.". Doesn't directly apply, but the basis of it not being same rules for men/women is there.

Dun matter though, doesn't matter two f*cks what others think of your personal taste in reading/watching ;)

More worrying did anyone see Theroux's episdoe on the end of the porn industry, I kinda thought it must be happening, but it's quite obvious that it's pretty well over for new productions and all those single girl websites are now just a front for prostitution.

Nothing inherently wrong with those websites as long as the girls are sole traders and not being exploited by anyone, that is the issue though, managers effectively working covertly as pimps for these website girls.

Do you think Louis pays people to be on his docs? I've often wondered how he convinces so many Americans to be on documentaries when they have never heard of him. Working on a documentary over here you would be amazed how cold people are on the phone until you tell them the company you work for and then suddenly they are interested. Maybe he uses the BBC name? Does we work for BBC?

Cerb, they say it's for the BBC and American's fall over to help. The 'brand' still carries alot of weight with the older or more educated American. In this case I imagine it was agents and lawyers they spoke to.
