50 Shades Darker or How to Make Actual Sex Things Seem Mundane


Hello Lovelies,

Last I left you, I was nigh to the end of book two of the biggest collection of formulaic sex scenes laced with overly specific  references to vast wealth.

But alas, I forgot The Butt Drawer.

I am so sorry, and if you will ever forgive me, well I shall be in your debt. Kind of.

So yes, The Butt Drawer.

Ana wanders her way into the Playroom of dull BDSM sex .Really, the set up is there for all kinds of interesting freak-nasty, but [butt] nothing more so scintillating  happens than you might find at the very front counter of your local “Couples Love Aid” romance shop. A Fizzle and a Woop.

She’s “Oh My” -ing everything in there with Doe-like curiosity. Apparently she can’t figure out what the couch is in there for.

A lo and behold, there is a chest of drawers with toys.

Oh My, whatever could these be?

Ana . . .

“That’s a butt plug.”

“A butt plug? Is it for me?”

“Yes Ana.”

Then, voila, the curiouser and curiouser description of anal beads, OH MY, what are these? They go . . .  DOWN THERE?

Oh yes. OH MY.  wow. JEEZ. Holy Shit. Holy Cow. Oh My Gosh.

And other overused phrases as well.

“So is, this the Butt Drawer?”

“Yes Ana, this is  the Butt Drawer. Do you like the Butt Drawer?”

“It’s not on the top of my Christmas Card list.”

You know, because we all remember to send holiday greetings to drawers of stuff meant for the butt.

What ruins this part more than the awful back and forth is that you hear the “worldly air” of knowledge from Grey’s voice. Especially when he matter of factly explains anal beads. OH!

Oh Wait, There’s More!

Next drawer is the “Drawer O’ Good Vibrations.” Which Ana promptly slams shut.

Wait, what? Girl please. If you’ve never seen any of these things before, why are you freaking out?  You didn’t freak over The Butt Drawer, so what gives?

I would think that you would at least peek a little. Jeez.

And then behind drawer three is the clampy, pokey, spiky drawer. Again, stuff that you see before you go behind the red curtain at an adults playtime shop.

Scene:

Ana looks at a pretty little loopy thing. Oh my, what is this? Why Ana that’s an [Unsexy sounding Germanic word here] wheel. Which is described as  pastry cutter looking thing that feels amazing. Yawn.

And on to the nipple clamps. Oh My, a clamp on my pinky, just to see how that feels, holy cow, whadya know? A sensation unlike any other.

And then another clamp that is described to look like a western wear string tie. Cool in theory right? Apparently they are super pretty and such. Nice.

After an at length description by Grey of said pretty tie thingys, Ana kills the mood. Again.

“How does he manage to make everything sound so erotic?”

ANA. FOR CRAP’S SAKE, THEY’RE NIPPLE CLAMPS.

WHAT IS NOT EROTIC ABOUT A NIPPLE CLAMP? THE WORD NIPPLE IS USED TO DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE.

 I’M SURE THAT HALF THE FOLKS READING THIS RIGHT NOW ARE GETTING A BIT RANDY THINKING ABOUT SOME FORM OF EXOTIC NIPPLE DO-HICKEY ON THEIR LOVER.

WTF ANA?

Ana, who for all intensive purposes devotes a lot of mental time to describing the daily life of her nipples, seems to think that such mundane, jewel-laden sex wear items as exotic nipple ties are somehow, erotic.

You know, because they’re just a part of daily life.

Hmm, well it’s time for coffee and my exquisitely jeweled nipple ties.

Just another day at the office, s’pose I’ll wear the ones with rubies on them. Or maybe the jade ones with pearl inlay. Because they’re such a average part of a non-sexual aspect of my life.

Ana, you’re killing me.

Also, a teddy nightdress gets the treatment with explicitly described spaghetti straps. As opposed to a turtleneck nightie.  Or crewneck. Or Henley.

And apparently all of Ana’s clothes automatically pool at her feet. There is a lot of pooling going on. I almost envy her. I always end up with lumpy piles on the ground that I will forget and trip over later. My bad.

P.S. At this point I’m skipping the sex scenes. We get it, he’s either entering slowly, or slamming into you. It’s always delightful/exquisite/torturous/amazing/earth shaking/or mind blowing.

Folks, if you will, give “the Treatment” to some mundane things in your life. Or the reverse Treatment to something sexy. Leave in Comments.

Example:

As she sipped her orange juice, in a cold, cold glass pressed to her lips, she gazed at the rumpled carton waiting for her on the counter. The expiration date was last week. She shivered, whether it was from the cold glass rubbing at her teeth or if it was from the early onset sign of something more drastic to come later. Oh to suffer as such.

Everything below her bellybutton clenched and she thought, “Oh God, I should have gone to the grocery store  this week. This juice, it could be so dangerous. But it is so good. I guess I’ll just take my chances.”

Belatedly, she considered the equally precarious situation with the milk.

  1. Treatment” to brushing your teeth. Ahem:
    He handed me the long, supple plastic instrument. It was about seven inches long with what looked like tufts of fiber at the end. Oh my.
    “What is this?” I asked
    “A toothbrush,” he said, “you put it in your mouth.”
    How does he make everything sound so erotic? I complied and placed the bristled end in my mouth. Wow. The bristles tickled my tongue, my cheeks, my uvula. I worked the toothbrush around in my mouth. First hard and fast, then soft and slow. Oh my.
    “Gently”, he said. “You don’t want to damage the enamel layer of your permanent dentition.”
    Wow. He’s so smart and so much more experienced than I am. I obeyed his command and continued working the toothbrush in and out. In. And then out. When I couldn’t take it anymore, he clasped my hand and slowly withdrew the toothbrush. Oh my. That was exquisite. I peeked up at him, breathing ragged and whispered, “What next?”
    “Flossing.” he said.

  2. “intensive purposes” I think should be “intents and purposes.” Minor detail. A lovely post (and comment) in all.
