The 21 Year Old Virgin

I'm sure we can all agree that everyone has a subconscious, evil at times, that forces us to second guess our decisions. But Miss Steele's subconscious is undoubtedly the devil. At every moment that she is with Christian, or any other character for that matter, she constantly questions and/or criticizes herself. It's these insecurities (among other qualities-or lack thereof) that make her character unrealistic. Likewise, this girl has managed four years - I stress, an entire undergraduate career- without having any sex or blacked-out wasted nights of retardedness!

Unbelievable.

No way is anyone getting through four years of college without some sort of experimentation. These attempts to make Ana seem innocent create a distant character who would relate more to Bella from Twilight than any real college woman. I understand the paradox since this book is more or less the sexual relationship that Edward and Bella never had. However, if Christian Grey can be his own character (whom we love), why can't Ana Steele stand on her own without seeming like an extended version of Bella Swan?

Furthermore, I'm becoming slightly "perturbed" with the lip biting. I almost want Ana to stop as badly as Mr. Grey does - although not for the same reasons...... -__-


So, in conclusion, this in my demand for all the romantic fiction authors out there:

STOP MAKING CELIBATE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS PROTAGONISTS
-it's annoying.

Sincerely,
A concerned experimental college student

P.S
If they happen to have a drinking habit that's totally cool -we understand.

Who Is Christian Grey?

I'm sure every female who has ever heard of and/or possessed the erotic fiction 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James has wondered who is Mr. Grey? What other fictional romantic characters does he relate to? Is he a Big from Sex and the City, or a less vampire-virgin, more realistic Edward from Twilight? Surprise ladies!!!! Christian Grey is his own man and we mean it! Apart from his riches and ever elusive but tantalizing sexual aura, Mr. Grey seems to be a genuinely decent human being. It isn't until the sexual activities first encountered in chapter seven (I know we've all been waiting for it) that readers fully understand the kinkiness, for lack of better terms, that we are about to submerge into.

I mean, does this book have a rating!?

Careful though, this one is a no-put-er-downer. Once you've picked it up, prepare to NEVER be the same. Having only finished chapters 1-10, I began to start questioning my own sex life. Which for the record, is non existent at the moment. Still, while having "virgin sex" with Christian Grey, our protagonist Ana orgasms twice, her first time!!! Honestly, how many women have trouble finding the right guy they can orgasm with at all? And for Ana, being an inexperienced virgin, I think it's safe to say it wasn't her "skills" that caused her to climax. No. It was Christian Grey. Which leads me to the ultimate question; who is this man, Christian Grey, and where can I find one?

And if I did stumble upon a breathtakingly gorgeous late twenties male with ogles of doe, would I ever submit to his sadism? Hmmm, the enjoyment that Ana seems to be reaping from her first experience(s) with Mr.Grey definitely weigh my opinion.

Gotta keep reading!
