Fifty Shades of Grey caused quite the stir. The impact of this book has been widely talked about. Over dinner parties, men have been heard to murmur hesitantly and under their breath "maybe I should pick up this book at some point". Some men have uttered "I wondered why she got so bossy in bed all of a sudden?!". Women laugh coyly in the moment and then have a lot to say privately with their female friends. What are these colourful reactions telling us?
Most people have either seen or heard of the Friends TV show episode on the 7 erogenous zones for women and Fifty Shades of Grey touches on similar territory. Women have pretty universally talked about the desire/need for more attention, lead up to and time spent on creating sexual intimacy. Fifty Shades of Grey has clearly brought the topic to the fore once again. For those who have experienced this popular culture phenomenon, what does the conversation mean to us and our relationships? Men may want to discard the book as silly trash and women may secretly hope/wish their men would read it, in the hopes of igniting fresh passion and excitement. Either way, it may be a lark for couples to read the book together. You never know, the material may provide a comfortable way of discussing likes and dislikes, maybe offer something new and low risk to try. Maybe live a little, Lol;)
