When did 50 Shades come out?

A decade-and-a-half ago....

There’s actually an explosion of written erotica going on. I haven’t delved into it, but it’s a large and growing market.

well that's incredible news!! I hope my favorite genres get replenished soon... I'm out of things to read

When did 50 Shades come out?

Early 2000’s? I read like 2 pages. Fucking awful writing.

I just watched a limited series that had the guy from 50 shades in it, it and he were really good.

The Fall with Gillian Anderson? It's fantastic

As a veteran lifestyler I refuse to read it. I've seen excerpts and what's depicted isn't bdsm, but power-fantasies and abuse. Boycott that shit

Too late to read an entire article, 3am, but bookmarked for tomorrow! thanks

The Tourist……adding The Fall to my list (originally typed The Fapp, almost left it)

No. The circle that’s a degree above absolute zero, the wind never stops howling the chorus of the damned, and nobody ever visits.

Nobody. Not even Satan. Whatever is left there is abandoned and forgotten.

Lupine has different enemies and has different axes to grind than Dante.

Were he much good?

I’m starting to hate you as much as I hate @OrdinaryPerson

I haven’t seen either of those, but I loved Belfast. Was easily my Best Picture Oscar pick that year (2021), untiiiiil I saw CODA, which was deservedly the actual winner.

True.

True.

I think Wolfie kind of enjoys the ripping them apart too.

I mean, I don’t know… just a theory…

 

[UnquietDreams]

If you recall the skit, the guy doing the “wink wink nudge nudge say no more” wasn’t invited either…

Read Shades of Grey instead. Excellent writing and novel world building. Jasper Fforde’s a very clever writer.
PS: Nothing to do with sex - well not much anyway - this is an alt universe fantasy novel.

Maybe that's one of many reasons why our country is so fucked up.

I know, I know... I'll go get the soap...

There are so many other parts of you I'd rather lather than your mouth

And things I would rather put in your mouth than soap ...

 

[UnquietDreams]

Mmh, well, that's where I and my circle of friends fit in.. So I'm comparing this clique of people here in S&S to my friends and close ones.

I wonder if written erotica is a dying art form?? Will Z's not pick up the torch? Do they even read romance novels? When was the last Twilight-ripoff???

E-books are a big market for erotica for women. I have considered cranking out some trashy ones on Amazon.

No. Right here is fine...

Lmao. Yep. We’re just that easily impressed

Women don't view near the amount of porn men do, but they will read the hell out of it, especially if it's on their phone so no one can see what they are reading.
