Hi Sheens feel free to post them any time!!!!!

No, not in this life!!!!

How sweet....

Hi sme !! I belive that there are many and diverse reasons for men's and women's different attitudes towards this genre. On one hand, women are celebral creatures who enjoy s+x with both their minds and their bodies. Eva herself in the shower scene on RIY says, 'I wanted my body - my desire - to be burned onto his brain the way this image of him would be burned unto mine.' (page 63). On the other hand, men are visual 'animals', who first and foremost enjoy watching (think about p o r n, peep-shows and the like). Accordingly, in the same scene in the shower, Gideon asks Eva, 'Show me what I do to you.' (page 62) and not 'Tell me what you're feeling for me now.'  This gap between the s*xes is only worsened by our social system, which allows women to freely explore and talk about their feelings, and at the same time prevents men to do the same: a man should not cry in public or talk s*x; he must be strong at all costs ... those kinds of bulls*it!  No wonder then, men don't enjoy reading erotic romances, for their minds don't find anything appealing in these novels. They simply think these books are women's stuff. Poor things!!!  If I were a man (God forbids that!!!!!) I'd read SD's novels just to figure out what women want in and out of bed!!!  it goes without saying, there might be all sorts of exceptions to this broad approach, but they don't seem to affect the pattern.  Ciao!

O M G  I had the worst withdrawal symptoms ever and you've just given me my cure-all, thank you so much.  He's the ultimate indeed!!!!

Welcome on board Moonfeather!! Â English is not (sigh!) my mother tongue, too, but the ladies here are wonderful, I can tell you this much! Have a comfortable seat and enjoy!!

Hello Julie my mum wouldn't even lend me her books and I had to buy new ones!!! We talk about everything that's going on in the books, but the sex is still a taboo with her, all the more so when it's BDSM we are talking about!!!  You are not alone!! Billionaires tend to have that universal effect on women.... I wonder where did I hear this before?????

I gotta go ladies have to take Huey, Dewy and Louie (my little nephews) to the beach. Chat later!!

Hi Barb This jaqueline must be missing some of her marbles!!!!

Hi sme she has been rereading the trilogy for so long, the books are literally falling apart. She enjoys the romance, the setting of the novels, Ana's dealing with the fact that Cristian's filthy rich (the scene when she gets her graduation present from him, a first edition of Hardy's Tess, always cracks my mum up!!) As for the s*x scenes she simply skips them now.  BTW: I typed Gideon instead of Christian!!!!

Hi GiGi It sure is!!!

Hi Nathalia I would have liked to read Gideon's mind before, during and after the wedding... his panic at Eva's runner and his insecuriies about Brett... his bliss at having secured Eva in his life!! Like Gideon himself pointed out in Bared, we have spent so much time inside their minds during their hottest and most painful moments so far that this keeping us at a distance from their most precious experience doesn't seem right!!!

Hi sme what really hooks me in these books is, first and foremost, Gideon and Eva's healing path from their traumatized pasts, then Cary's flippancy and good sense, and Gideon's s*x talk... riveting to say the least!!!!

Hi GiGi I gave it to my mum as a present, for the series was on everybody's lips. At 71, she was appalled by the ways young people can enjoy s*x (HA!) and wouldn't lend it to me ('Not in this life,' she told me). So I bought it again, but in English... Mrs James, you own me!!!!

Oh my, I'm 5'7''... I'd need a microscope to see some of them!!!!
