I think it would have been much sexier if she used the "hoo-hah" instead.

Whatever happen to the "fun words" like kootchie and FlavourTown?
No word is an anti-boner like VAGINA. Way to turn the Awesome Blossom into science class.

Her "sex" allows her to ascend from a lowly intern to head of a major publishing company in about two weeks.

They call the female sex organ her "sex" That just sounds so dumb to me. Discuss. Can we discuss why you are reading a chick book? ;D

This thread alone makes the book's existence worth it, not that I'll ever actually buy it or sit and read the whole thing. This thread doesn't make the books existence worth it. THIS does: (language, obviously)

If Stephanie Meyer and EL James collaborate and insert Fifty Shades' sex scenes into Twilight, they could make even more money.

The most troubling thing about the inner goddess is that she cheers enthusiastically for every violent and psychopathic thing that Christian Grey does. By the end of the novel, you realise that Ana Steele's inner goddess is probably some sort of alternate personality disorder. One that encourages masochism. The book is a fictional case study for psychology 204. The most basic stereotypical behaviors for someone with daddy issues(Anna), seeking validation from the world, a man steps in to fill the void. She becomes dependent on him because of her inexperience and the hyper speed at which she garners it. She does so because she does not want to lose his love the way she was scarred she would lose the love of her father when her folks divorced. Grey is a whole freaking psychology semester unto himself, but enough easily digestible bullet points are given by the author, for his behavior toward Anna, to become predictable. The entire last arc can be predicted almost down the dialog. I tried reading the second book, but its early predictability made me disinterested. For what it's worth I am looking forward to the movie adaptation, but only to see how they cover for and replace the sex. It should be damn near unrecognizable in the middle. But hey movie goers, as long as you get "the essence" of the source material right? I hate Kristen Stewart but in this case I cannot think of an actress more ready made for this part. The dude? No idea

No idea Christian Bale. The character of Christian Grey is 50% Edward Cullen and 50% Patrick Bateman. They'll cast Mila Kunis for Ana Steele.

{Spoiler}It's obvious that the first draft of Fifty Shades of Grey (after the Twilight references had been removed for legal purposes) was nothing more than sex scenes and e-mails, and the publishers clearly told the author that she had to include a few token elements that superficially at least could be considered a "plot".
This explains why seemingly random events occur from time to time in this novel series, such as the scary stalker, the older dominatrix, the best friend/brother relationship, the rapey publishing company boss villain, the helicopter crash, the pregnancy etc....
You can almost see where the manuscript has been returned to EL James with "ADD SOMETHING HERE" written in red ink.
