----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being called "mommy porn," 50 Shades of Grey is a sexually explicit book trilogy that has became a hit with women all over the world, and is particularly special for one young local couple.

E.L. James calls her 50 Shades trilogy a love story with a kink, but that kink is really kinky.

The story is about a young college graduate who is pulled into a relationship with a very wealthy man who is into sado-masochistic sex. But is it the sex, the ardent romance, or the need to escape that has pulled so many women in?

The series, first released in early April, has sold 10 million books and counting making it among the fastest selling series of all time.

"I read them in three days, they were that good. They were amazing," says Kerry Amberger, a full-time mother with two young girls.

Amberger's husband, Erich, would agree the books were amazing, and he didn't even read them. Like many couples across the country, the books sparked some heat in the bedroom.

"We have two young kids, we have busy lives," Kerry said. "We don't connect as often as we would like to and this gave us another way to connect. It sparked something back in us."

Family Psychologist Dr. Frank Doberman says a lot of the hype around this best seller can make some women feel guilty about envying the main character, Ana, a woman whose every needs are fulfilled by Christian. "Well who doesn't, man or woman, enjoy having needs taken care of? It is a basic pleasure to be nurtured by someone," Dr. Doberman says.

As for the mutual sado-masochistic sex in the book, Dr. Doberman says there is a distinction between sex with guidelines and "safety words" as in the book, and people who are being abused.

"We are not into S & M whatsoever," Kerry says, "but it is still exciting to read."

So exciting that Kerry and Erich, who have struggled with infertility, say the book brought them a little miracle. "I got pregnant on my own," Kerry tells us. "I think, personally, because I wasn't thinking about it, I was able to let myself go and was able to enjoy it."

And maybe that is why this book has become a best seller around the world.

Kerry and Erich joke that if the baby is a boy, they should name him Christian or Grey, for the main character in the book.

Oh JFC.

Ohhhh. So THAT'S what I'm doing wrong! Thank goodness she shared this secret! 50 Shades of Gray is WAY cheaper than a RE.

[Melissa W.]

Good grief.

[penguingrrl]

So are we to assume that prior they were putting his penis in the wrong hole and 50 Shades cleared up that confusion? Because otherwise I'm gonna guess it didn't help their IF one bit.

[charminglife]

I hope their child is a girl.

Eeeeeewwwwww!!!

[taratru]

That might be the stupidest thing I've ever read.

[eclaires]

I am dead. I can't take anymore of this 50 Shades crap. It's going to give me an aneurysm from rage.

[sunny]

the IF thing is silly, but this is what every woman I know who likes Outlander says - their husbands are verrrrry happy when they discover that series.

No, you don't even need to buy the book, just relax, and enjoy sex! Because you know that's all you need to do to get pregnant!!1!!

[Jenniatonu]

JFC. I have read enough romances that I should have gotten pregnant years ago, according to this fuckery.

Why'd I spend so much money on IF treatments when I could have read fan-fiction erotica? Stupid me.

Ha. True.

Hm I wonder if a copy of the book is covered by insurance.

[brookles]

UGH. I hate people sometimes.

Right. Or just reading the book created Super Egg and Super Sperm.

[EloiseWeenie]

They are already the world's most embarrassing parents, and the child isn't even born yet.

Talk about an overshare.

Wow...that "news" story is about as badly written as the book. Holy crap, that's a load of tripe. How the HELL did any editor think that was a story worth reporting?

(Yes, you all focus on the stupidity of the people involved. I will focus on the stupidity of the assignment editor/reporter that actually fell for that BS...)

vomit face

Yuck.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

50 SHADES OF GREY SEX ISN'T EVEN REAL!!!! Oh my GOD!!!!

Unless maybe the husband pulled her tampon out and banged her and she got pregnant that way. I'll bet that's what it was.

[Deleted]

Giant facepalm.

No, it's not. Do not confuse stupid with kink.

I weep for our country.

I read them in three days, they were that good. They were amazing

No, they weren't.

This woman right here isn't looking to a (fictional) man to fulfill her every need. I will now refer to this idiot as Dr Dog.

No, it isn't. You're a fucking moron who really shouldn't reproduce.

And maybe that is why this book has become a best seller around the world.

Maybe, in that it's evidence that people are really fucking stupid.

I had IVF last month and am now pregnant. During the cycle I read all three 50 Shades books. I bet it was the books and subsequent sex that got me pregnant, and not $20,000 of modern science. We'll never know.

First, congrats! And second, it was the books. Definitely the books.

Congrats!

Also, lol this whole topic.

And, um, I love Outlander, if you're referring to the the Diana Gabaldon book and not the TV show. Actually, the historical research is excellent - I used it in a college history class, and my professor was impressed with how much I knew about Jacobean history.
