Emulating Christian Grey... wanting to be 'the most interesting man in the world'... into reading?, then you could check out How to be a Bush Pilot by Claudia Dey. Humerous, cheeky style, and you can practise with your SO / SP to see if she agrees 
Fifty Shades....

These books are so horribly written, they are almost painful to read. The whole premise is ridiculous. The ONLY reason they are so popular is because they have sex in them. Big deal........been there, done that. But I guess for the average housewife they are exciting.
I couldn't finish the book!! I understand why its popular, people that don't normally read erotic fiction are bound to get turned on and intrigued by this book, but its not very well written IMHO, and its based of twilight fan fiction, part of me can't get over that! But I did read some of the sex scenes, and they are steamy. But for a hot, well written hard core erotic book, I'd suggest the Story of O! One of my favourites, a previous boss gave it to me to help introduce me to s&m through literature.
Your SO is reading the trilogy TWICE??? Wow, she must have no brain cells left......(or you are not giving it to her good enough). These are the WORST books I've ever read. So they have sex in them............big deal. The writing is HORRIBLE!
I LOVE this clip!!! Ellen cracks me up!!! Guess she didn't get the job for the audiobooks, eh? LOL!
Ya - I didn't understand the hype. I have been reading smut books for years and this one was no better then any of the other ones.
I personally saw a lot of similar things in these books to some of my personal life experiences so that held my attention, but I wouldn't be diving in for a second read.
The book sounds like a horrible read, but the audio book. I do nothing else but listen to the magical voice of Gilbert Gottfried reading 50 shades.
So sensual.
Most people here on terb tend to be of a similar opinion. Entertaining, but not great writing, and yes, it has lots of sex in it.
I think the fascination with the trilogy is that not everyone in mainstream society has an outlook on sex the same as most terb members do.
Most of us here are fairly open minded, to say the least. Not everyone out there is like that. Some of the details in this series probably shock many of the readers. That's simply because they probably have never been exposed to such ideas before.
LOL. I've been giving enough. If you've seen her, you've seen the proof
The books are horrible. She's tried to get me to read them and I just can't get past more than a few pages at a time. On the upside, she's taken a distinct interest in touring, ahem, adult stores and picking up rather novel accessories.

Notice the picture of the bed.
I so agree. Even the smut (love letters) I've written in the past seem more interesting by comparison.
