Shock and i think dd 17 has also read it the comments she was making. i know i have been on threads here where people have tried to ban their dd d=reading this and i agreed with the majority that banning is not sensible. i wouldnt read it myself

I never banned my DDs from reading anything . I read a lot and its always just sat there and they could help themselves .I worked on the principle that if they were too young to understand it, it wouldjust wash over them, sometimes its a good way of satisfying curiousity and they could raise anything that they felt bothered by .DD1 (older than yours and an ardent feminist) was scathhing about FSOG. DD2 cant be bothered to read it.

For goodness sake it's a dirty book! Why the hell wouldn't she?

Would worry the the 17 year old was reading that Crap but if you are shocked at your 15 year old doing so am guessing you are all a tad immature. Grin

I remember reading my dad's Anais Nin erotic stories when I was 13. Now that's some beautifully written
wank fodder prose.

Oh I loved point horror and Virginia Andrews as a tween ( still got them somewhere)
I was also quite proud to pass down my Adrian mole books to eldest son when he hit puberty - think he liked them, he's never said Hmm

I've just bought lace based on the rave reviews on this thread. It'd better be good!! Wink

agree with PP OP, I'd be less worried about the (completely unrealistic) sex scenes and more concerned with its representation of an obviously abusive relationship as completely normal...
