Cup My Sex- Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James

Ok, I feel it would be rude of me to not discuss the most popular book this year. Everyone has read it or is on the waiting list to read it.

People- DON'T BOTHER!

As I am sure everyone knows by now its about a billionaire guy who is into dom/sub S&M sex relationships and is deeply traumatized. He falls for this incredibly dumb bitch who eventually gets into it with him.

If there is one good reason not to read this book series, it is for the phrase that is repeated nearly every page "cup my sex".

If you are unsure what this means, join the club. In context it means when a man puts his hand on the girl's vagina to begin digital stimulation.

Never in my life have I ever described myself, or heard any of my friends describe this particular sexual experience as "he cupped my sex". Beyond the act of "cupping" or "cup" I have also never described that region or heard it described as "sex".

Sex is a verb. I get that "vagina" is maybe too clinical of a term, but there are alternatives- most of which gross me out, however referring to my vagina as my sex would be just as awkward saying out loud as it is reading it over and over and over again in this book series.

Patient to Doctor: "It itches deep down in my sex"
"This underwear makes my sex look good"
"Your sex feels sooo good"
"Send me a picture of your sex"

All common phrases, all awkward.

Don't read the book, its awkward and terribly written and usually a turn off as opposed to a turn on. Also, don't read "Bared to You" by Silvia Day. Its the same book, same plot (minor changes) also overuses uses "cup my sex".

PS- DO NOT LISTEN TO FIFTY SHADES OF GREY ON AUDIO BOOK. I listened to the first book on audio book, and it is massively embarrassing sitting in traffic with the windows down when the female reader imitates the male protagonist, Christian Grey's voice..."Well hello Anastasia"... Also embarrassing when she is describing whatever multiple-orgasm scenario she is in with a family of five who also has their windows open. I learned the hard way.
