BDSM, MOMMY PORN AND FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!

"Ma'am, why don't you pick up this book?", the Book seller lifted up a grey colored covered book, with a picture of shiny knotted tie printed on it. I took the book in my hands and flipped through some of its pages. 

"Ma'am, this is one of the bestsellers and very popular among women. This is the last copy left with me. Rest all sold to ladies", he said giving a broad mysterious smile. 

It was not that I had not heard of the book, but somehow, something stopped me from buying it- perhaps it was the dearth of time. "Its alright, I will buy some other time", I gave a sweet smile to him but when I came back home, I was little confused if I had done the correct thing. By the way, I have till now not read the book yet but yes, I have 'googled' about it and read its content, its reception and all the controversies attached to this book.

After this incident I became heavily busy in my other activities  and completely forgot about the most controversial and sale able fiction of the year! But it again came back into my life as one day as I was talking to my nephew on phone. He is an avid reader and travels a lot. Reading thus has become his pastime when on flights and as I am an author, he discusses almost all the novels he reads. The 'talk'  eventually halted at the book 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' and what he told me was interesting! The book was almost a 'soft porn' and mainly liked and bought by women! I instantly recalled what  few months back the Bookseller had told me grinning broadly! So this was what he was hinting at! I got the key to the lock of his wide mysterious smile! So the big grin was because of  common women liking sex very openly!

Well, it should be have been a point of extreme joy that at least women are liking sex and are openly coming forward by buying the book and relishing the read! But I  was at least not happy! 

Why? Because of the realization that why only men are blamed as enjoying sex and howled at for this. The surveys have proved that 'Mommies' actually enjoy kinky sex more than men! The pundits of Book Trade Business have predicted that ladies really like BDSM i.e. "Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism".

I am really baffled and I am convinced that man is actually an animal! And BDSM satisfies his/her animal sexual ways..

I was also upset because for me love and sex have been no less than worship but the sale of Fifty Shades... has really left me baffled!!!

Or perhaps this is so because a woman's subjugation over the years have lead her to fantasize about having a top position in sex! What say mommies?
