    Its more acceptable to read erotic novels than it is to watch porn and masturbate along with it.

    Its for stupid oul wans who want a bit of excitement.

    I got halfway through and gave up

    50 shades of grey?
    OH! I think I got that one a wee bit wrong.
    I thought it was the new Dulux Paint, neutral tones catalogue.
    I won’t be showing my face in B&Q for a while, I can tell you. DOHH!

    It is an awful book.
    It is badly written.
    It is about an abusive relationship.

    Clit Lit is nothing new, Black Lace books has been running for 20 years and been on sale in Easons for the last 15. Idiots are buying the book, idiots who can't use google to find good smutty stories.

    Ok, who wants to start '50 pages of Boards'. It would involve a newbie to boards posting in personal issues, move to sex and sexuality with a bit of zombie survival for the kinky stuff.

    It's also fan fiction from a Twilight obsessed women. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303734204577464411825970488.html

    She pretty much wrote awful sex scenes between the mopey one and the sparkly one from Twilight, then changes the setting.
