one of my biggest worries is the amount of women who are raving about it , will it make those men with dominant tendencies jsut do more thinking its all ok cos of the hype? excuse themselves saying well its what women want?

I am not a prude and role play for instance in any bodys world is fine but beng controlled and dominated in general life is not in my opinion….

some say its a love story………well for women who liive with domination/controlling any love is better than none maybe?

of course, there are those that do like it i dont take that away from them but thinkk about it ladies , your man comes home , asks you if you have been out, you forget you popped to the shop earlier for a pint of milk or ciggies or whatever…….. you answer no…..he finds out later u did go out………..result? punishment.

its excapism for some maybe this book and i dont take that away from the author her sales team have done an excellent job of course and enjoy the book if you are reading thats just my 10 penneth worth .

I had a simular conversation with my mate about this.

If you take porn for example. Its so easy to just gogle and find tones of porn. Men watch a lot of porn and see an immage on screen and think that its real life.
If you watch soaps, you can automaticly regester in your mind that although its simular to real life, its not actually real.
Men dont see that with porn. The see the immage as it is and become frustrated when it doesnt happen in real life.

I think the same is happing with this book.
All the girls cant get enough of it. And all the blokes are thinking “great, this will spice up our sex life”.
But in my opinion the difference between men and wemon is that wemon can see the line between reailty and fantisy. Blokes cant.
Wemon reading that book will see a love story.
Men will see it as an invitation to wip the crap out of there other half.
