God I already know I will sound like a complete prude so this is abit embarrassing to ask..

But I spotted a book on my husband’s bedside table that he hadn’t mentioned. I asked when he got it and he said that a woman in his team had leant it to him.

I flicked through the book today, and it has a really explicit sex scene on the first page, and again a few pages later. I’ve just read a review - it’s well reviewed but not a well known book.

AIBU to think abit weird/ lacking boundaries/ quite intimate to recommend a book, let alone if it has really sexual content?

I should add, my husband is the CEO, this person is much more junior.

Sounds a bit dodge to be giving ones boss a book like that

I had to google it. If its this one then perhaps more men should read it.

this work comments on how societal gender roles overemphasize female self-sacrifice and male aggression, which diminishes female independence and establishes inherently unbalanced marriage partnerships.

It wasn’t that I thought it was a case of being turned on by it, just whether it was daft to see intimacy in the book exchange..

I’ll read the book and do myself a favour

Is it Belinda Blinked?

OP will be shocked by all the talk of vaginal lids.

I can't believe I'm the first person to ask what the book is!
