Raven and Tropez, sounds like you were having fun last night! Is this a private party or can anyone join?! :rotfl:
The more the merrier!Well, exactly. Hence why I said it is dark and hardcore.
I also found the writing style in English pretty jarring. Tried the original but found it too difficult...I guess my A Level French did not have a unit on 'hardcore sex vocabulary' :rotfl:
Well that's a pretty big omission, yet I bet they taught you 200 ways to order a white coffee? That would be typical.
It's been a while since I read Story of O now but I think you're right about the translation from French to English being somewhat jarring. I think most of the Marquis de Sade's works suffer the same problem.
At least there's always the film!0 -
**you need to have read 50SOG to understand that nonsense in my last post...0

haha You haven't burst my bubble because I don't agreeI thought they were really well written.
Anyway it's only like 50 Shades, very subjective. http://nehwnews.wordpress.com/tag/sebastian-faulks/ This guy agrees with me.0 -
I didn't know there was an app for a kindle on your iPad so l downloaded that as it worked out £1 cheaper over the 3 books!
Talking of Kindle books and Fifty Shades, have a look at this onehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008O9ALXA/ref=oh_d__o02_details_o02__i00

Ive got to chapter 20 of the first book. Dont think i'll be reading books 2 and 3.
My idea of a sexual turn on isnt such things as @nal f!sting and torture (with or without a secret password).
Oh and i'm not a prude... i'd love to share how i reached my very first orgasmbut i think some things are better unsaid.:o
