Gray Matter

On Saturday night, like many Saturday nights my table was full of bright, wonderful women sharing wine, ideas and laughter.   We range in age and marital status, some are mothers, others not - most importantly,  we all share a single fundamental trait - independence.  So, like many "vino" nights around the globe, "that book" became part of the conversation.

The "Fifty Shades" phenomena has women flocking to bookstore shelves to "sneak" a peak at what they are missing.  The relationship of a 22 yr old college virgin, "Ana" and "Christian",  the sex-seeker has sold over 40 million copies - kudos to the publishing company.  I cannot comment, as I have yet to read it, only been subject to the response of those ladies around my table.

I don't think any of my gals could stomach the portrayal of a meek women, not confident in her own sexuality.  The comments ranged from, how unrealistic that a 22yr old virgin exists to what virgin gives a blow-job and loves gulping down sperm (not likely according to the table).  As more wine flowed we openly discussed masturbation, orgasms, sex toys, lovers - I don't think "Christian" would of approved.

So ladies, read it or not, but the consensus from the Saturday night wine club to "improve" our sex lives was to masturbate more and buy some toys.  Don't buy the book - write your own "story".

Cheers my readers!  xo vagi   - oh, if this table could talk!
