I read the news on this very reliable site where you can find the article, for all those of you who can read french. It's a website that proposes debates, so it's very interesting.
The debate here was about FSOG's possibility to be liked by french readers - or not. But that's not my point.
In order to keep the debate up to date, they give the news concerning the topic.
And today, I found this : (i'm translating most of it, and i'm doing my best. Sorry for mistakes)
While FSOG tend to a sexual revolution for women, it's a source of conflicts for couples. Proof is that a 41 year-old british woman just asked for divorce, quoting "boring attitude" in bed. According to Mail on Sunday, after she read the book, this woman asked her husband to "play" dirty games with her, notably with handcuffs and other accessories usually used in BDSM. Hubby refused, and wifey didn't hesitate to fill for divorce, calling him for his "boring attitude" in bed.
"This woman wanted to add some spice to her sentimental life. [...] She bought fancy underware. But, even then, her husband didn't notice. She told him she've had enough of his limp attitude in their sex life" said Amanda McAllister, the wife's lawyer. When he knew of the book his wife had read, the husband didn't approve at all. "He blew up. He told her : "all that just because you read this freaking book"", said the lawyer
A. McAllister adds that this divorce is the first entailed by the book, mais that it won't be the last. "There's been a real change in sex comportements. Before, men were complaining not to have enough of sexe. Now, after they read FSOG, it's women who find their husband boring".
So...I'm aware there might be a lot of mistakes in that translation, and i'm sorry about it. But I found it interesting, and it made me wonder :
In France, women sexual revolution was in 68, during a big social and political crisis. Obviously, I know of Woodstock. But, was it your sexual revolution? Is there ever been a sexual revolution in the US? I have no idea. But if there wasn't, it could explain to me the whole success of the book. IDK. What do you think? Am I incredibly naive for believing that?
And what do you think about this lady who divorced her husband because he wasn't Grey enough?
My rec will be...The give away girl, by MrsSpaceCowboy. It's amazing.
