What kind of women read ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

If I say ‘Fifty shades…’ you know already what I am talking about. If you don’t know where I am going to, then you must have lived in Montecristo island without internet and TV for the last 6 months. The story of the book is basically this: Anastasia Steele, an average American student who is still virgin at 23 (??!!), meets by chance Christian Grey, a super handsome billionaire 27 years old, who (for not specified reasons) really likes her and decides to fuck her in all possible ways. End of the story.

Fifty shades of gray is the queen of the books for the summer 2012, with so many copies sold that J.K. Rowling is crimson with jealousy, regretting to have written for kids. So many women have discovered the pleasure of the ‘dirrrty’ reading, probably because they don’t have a sexual life (let’s face it).

But who are those women?

After a research I discovered that there are a few categories, let’s look at them:

The modern girls:

Those type of women are quite educated, they either study or work, and when they aren’t busy, they are really busy in letting other people think that they are busy.

They are ladies who are very up to date in everything, from fashion to events, and, most of all, those girls are the ones who never stop dreaming. Basically, they are the type of women who really imagine them self as Anastasia Steele, and they believe that her story is more true than the scene of Micky Mouse let the brushes clean the floor in Fantasia.

Post-teenagers / girls who need to read something after Twilight:

Those are the ‘once upon a time’ kids who started reading with Harry Potter, falling in love with Daniel Radcliffe, and later continued with the discovering of Twilight which gave them the pleasure of hot vampires and so on.

After that, they didn’t know what to read until the coming up of fifty shades, which satisfies any type of curiosity in sex and certainly all the new techniques will be tried later on with a real partner.

Housewives:

If a writer such as James could let hundreds of “desperate housewives” to run and get the 3 books of the saga, then well done to her. Certainly those housewives had an issue with their husband if they needed to read a hot topic such as sadomasochism and so forth.

To be honest, I am reading the book, and yes, I pretend to be a modern girl. And it’s quite interesting to see how differently women and men look at me when I show my book on the tube. To be honest, I don’t care of what they think, I am just…hum…analysing why such a book is so popular (hehe, yes, it’s true!).
