50 Shades of Grey - Thoughts? Opinions?

[Astrid]

Funny how some of you are skipping the sex scenes, I skipped the glider scene No need to read it, too Thomas Crown Affair.

I find some of the sex concepts interesting, which I wont go into as this is not AO

i def think some things should be left to the imagination. for eg...do we really need to know she has her period, and that he pulls the little blue string.... ewww. i was like what the??? really??
and sometimes i actually feel sorry for Ana, and think "just say you're tired!!!". surely that kind of animal urge cannot happen in real life all day,everyday!?
anyway,just started the second book...lol

There is a scene at the the end of the third book that makes me cringe a little. Won't go into it as some of you haven't read the book yet and it will give the story away, but it involves a whip over a stomach with a third person involved.

Really? I didnt think it was that bad tbh, bit of "whatever floats your boat" kind of thing itms. We certainly never eased up with our shenanigans at any stage lol.

Despite the writing, I really enjoyed the series. I didnt like Grey much in the first book, but he grew on me once Ana grew a pair and stood up for herself. The sex scenes didnt really bother me, it felt like I was just reading about people "making love", so poor DP didnt get any extra lucky because most of it was boring

Wasn't so much the act that bothered me, but the way they talked about it afterwards that got to me.
