Fifty Shades has taken the world by storm! Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past couple years, it’s pretty much a guarantee that you’ve heard of this erotic trilogy. Author E. L. James even admits that she didn’t expect her novels to get this much attention saying, “The explosion of interest has taken me completely by surprise” and the books are “my midlife crisis, writ large. All my fantasies in there, and that’s it.”
Appealing mostly to women who’ve only fantasized about the world of BDSM, the series has been dubbed ‘mommy porn‘ which was a term first used by the New York Times. The erotic nature of the story paired with the romantic background was just what many women were looking for as a way to visit their fantasies and excite their senses; especially those who otherwise would never be able to experience this type of relationship.
While avid erotica readers and those being able to experience this type of lifestyle have frowned upon the writing style and content, the series has opened the eyes of many and has sparked a fire in relationships where the sex was otherwise less than exciting. Though this series didn’t change the type of relationship I have with my husband, I know it was just what a lot of couples needed to get back on track with their own passion, and perhaps could even serve as a gateway into reading other erotic pieces and experiencing fantasies discovered and fulfilled.
Love it or hate it, it has opened the eyes of many and being so covered by the media has perhaps normalized, for lack of a better word, erotic novels; making them more socially acceptable.
For beginners who’ve yet to test the waters of light BDSM, there are now products available that were specifically designed to follow the theme and idea of the Fifty Shades of Grey novels. Lovehoney (which is the manufacturer of the official line) and Sportsheets (through their Sex and Mischief line available at Pink Cherry) are two companies who have put out specific toys based on the novels.
There’s a wide variety of other product that aren’t made specifically for these books, but would benefit anyone interested in dipping their toes into the BDSM world. These are beginner products that aren’t designed to be used by experienced players. Keep that in mind while you’re shopping around.
Over at Toy Box Under The Bed, they’re having a sale on kinky play items. Be sure to check out their sale to save 15% on these items, or use coupon code ‘POTTER’ to save 10% on other items.
Have you read these novels? Have they impacted you in a positive way? What is your overall opinion of the books and how far companies are going with the whole ‘fifty shades’ concept?

I’ve always loved the look of vintage/antique things. I’m particularly fond of skeleton keys, old locks, bottles, and jars (and almost anything made out of glass). Having children, I can’t always grab these things to take home with me, but that will change once they are older. It wasn’t until recently that my husband and I started checking out some of the local antique shops, and I discovered that my love for all things old was much deeper than I previously thought. I wanted everything I saw, even if I had no use for it, and as I lusted after these amazing treasures all I could do was imagine how amazingly unique and interesting my home would be if I lived on my own (poor Mr. PropertyOfPotter!). Snapping back into reality, I enjoyed looking through all the amazing things that had held up so well over time. We walked away with a few Ball canning jars for my sea glass collection, but I held back on other things due to lack of funds. *cries*
Not long ago my husband and I went on a mini vacation on the motorcycle and sadly dealt with nothing but rain the whole time. We decided instead of trying to see the sights (which was the whole reason for the location), that we would do a little antiquing. The first shop we stopped at proved to be a wise choice, since we picked up a couple wonderful things!
I saw this adorable looking round tin and picked it up to get a closer look. When I read the front I knew it was something we had to grab! Our tattoo artist’s name is Adam and the wording on the front was too much to pass up! He’s the type of person that is constantly joking about his ‘junk’ and I could just imagine the look on his face when he saw this! He’s also a collector of all things unique and interesting and after showing my husband, we agreed that it had to come home with us.
While I was standing there, I opened the tin to see what it looked like on the inside. I hadn’t noticed how heavy it felt, so I was quite shocked when a long, faded, cloth covered spring came popping out of it. I jumped, seeing as it was very unexpected, and my husband and I were both laughing until we were crying! The owner of the shop came over to see what the fuss was about (I think she assumed we were up to no good) and realized that our laughter was deserved. We closed the lid, finished up our shopping (where we also purchased our second lock), and excitedly imagined the look on our artist’s face when he saw our gift to him.
Today is a tattoo day, so we were able to give him the gift. You could instantly tell that he loved the look and text on the tin, and after asking if there was actually any nuts in it, he opened it and jumped back while the spring flew out. We were all laughing and it proved to be a great gift. Old? Check. Great design? Check. Slightly perverted? Check. I’m almost sad my man’s name isn’t Adam…the tin was a little difficult to part with!

Lovers
all at once;
the first moment to ourselves
we turned into one.
Didn’t take much time
to find the lines
we had crossed and
the ones set before us.
So sure of ourselves
and the way we fit
and moved
and loved every moment of it.
Always.
We will always be one
the promised hummed from
your lips, drawing me in
to place a kiss on mine.
I cherished those times
while longing for more,
hoping you were sure
about me
and us
and everything in between.
Future bright,
right ahead of us;
egging us on,
daring us to be free.
Needs were met
and mattered and
didn’t bleed through my eyes
like they used to all the time.
I was lost in you.
So sure our love
was deeply seeded,
wouldn’t bend or break
or change our fate or be beaten.
But loss changed you.
Hammer and nails,
our joyride derailed
and up went the walls
while I sat there defeated.
I needed you.
I had never felt so lost
so confused and abused and
I waited.
My love still strong for you,
I begged you to let me in.
You were gone,
we were broken
but I still had hope in my heart.
Years have passed,
surprised we’ve lasted this long;
hate-filled words and screams
and endless wrongs.
I never should’ve assumed
our bond was that strong;
but I promise,
I’ll love you
until my last breath
is gone.

1. What is your favorite food and drink? Please, tell a tale of how these two items came to be so special to you, we’d love to hear about it:
- Pizza is my favorite food because you can have it in so many different ways. It’s hard to get tired of something you can switch up and change so much.
- Coffee is my favorite drink. You can have it hot or iced so it’s great all year and is super yummy!
2. Have you ever incorporated the two items above or any food and/or drink into your sex play, like that certain famous film with the numbers in its title? Do tell, don’t leave out any saucy details:
- Honestly, apart from flavored lubricants, we’ve been really good about not adding food to our play. My husband went on a long stretch a while back where he had to have a snack after each session. Not to fuel up for more, but because he needed it before bed. Always drove me nuts! Crumbs in the bed and a break in our connection? I’m so glad he got over that!
3. Do you have a food/drink-related pet name for your lover? Does your lover have one for you? What are they? For example: pumpkin pie, tall drink of water…
- I call him Baby Cakes sometimes…we have funny little things we say here and there as a sweet/playful joke, but nothing we call each other all the time.
4. Please complete this dramatic scene from a one-act play I’m working on for my local community theatre:
MAN: hello.
WOMAN: hi.
MAN: do you like rain?
WOMAN: what? rain, as in the weather rain?
MAN: no, i meant bread, i said rain, but i meant bread, i’m nervous around pretty women. do you like bread?
WOMAN: um, mister, did you know that my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?
MAN: i know, i know, i drink your milkshake… i mean eat toast, i eat toast.
WOMAN: yeah, toast is pretty good.
5. Garrison Keillor once said, “Sex is good, but not as good as fresh sweet corn.” Do you agree or disagree? Make an argument for one against the other:
Sex will win to any food hands down! Sex fulfills an emotional, physical, and sexual need, whereas food only fills your belly.
Bonus: You have a best friend, this person has been your best friend since kindergarten. you are eating a bag of Cheetos on a park bench next to this friend. suddenly without warning, the friend smacks you across the face and exclaims, “Give me back my Cheetos, bitch!” What is your immediate reaction?
I would slap them back, laugh for a moment, and extend the bag their way so we could both snack on the cheesy goodness together.

Recently, my daughter turned seven and we had a birthday party for her. A few of her school friends were able to make it, and we had a great little party. When it was time for gifts, our neighbor, a fellow classmate of my daughter, gave a picture she drew in place of a card. It was viewed and tossed to the side since everyone was dying for her to open gifts. Once the chaos died down, I went back through and look at the cards she received. This little seven year old girl drew this image:
When I asked my daughter what it was, she said that the girl told her is was a character from Jake and the Never Land Pirates which is a popular TV show that can be found on the Disney Channel. Being that we don’t have cable, I wasn’t exactly sure who this character was, and doubted her name was I Sex. When I looked it up, it turns out the character is actually Izzy and looks like the character to the left. I really have no idea if the girl was trying to spell Izzy or something else, but the drawing paired with the words really threw me.
I immediately showed my husband who raised his eyebrows for a moment and enjoyed a good laugh with me. I love the fact that we can share these little things together. It always baffles me what kids come up with, and after being a parent for the past seven years, little surprises me. This will be a drawing I hold on to for my daughter since I’m sure in another ten years, I’ll pull it out and we’ll both enjoy a good laugh about it!

Close together, brings me pleasure.

-Be careful, if you jerk it around too much it’s bound to explode!-
Recently when my husband and I were out grocery shopping, there was an end cap of an aisle that contained the most wonderful carbonated beverage I had ever seen. I lost it. Tears were pooling in the corners of my eyes from laughing so hard. Admittedly, I have a tendency to laugh a little too hard at times, but my husband also saw the humor which made me feel better. For this trip, we passed on purchasing a bottle, but when my husband called on his way home from work a couple days later, I told him I needed him to grab me some.
Generic for, you guessed it, Dr. Pepper (my soda of choice), Dr. Perky is a cherry flavored soda put out by My Essentials which we found at our local Hannaford. Being a pervert someone who appreciates the funny things in life, I just had to snag it and give it a try. Honestly, it’s okay. Similar to Dr. Thunder which is put out by Sam’s Choice (found at Walmart), it has a more prominent cherry taste than that of Dr. Pepper itself. I don’t drink soda often, but the novelty of this was enough for me to need it.
Clearly they were reaching when they named this one; trying to keep the ‘P’ on there to make sure you knew the flavoring was similar to Dr. Pepper. Either way, it gave me quite the chuckle. I was glad to enjoy Dr. Perky this week…and hopefully you enjoyed some ‘Perky’ of your own in some form this week!
Have you ever been out grocery shopping and found something that had an inappropriate name? Have you ever turned an innocent sounding product into something dirty? What was it?
