The sexual liberation of Britain is continuing in the wake of EL James' erotic bestseller Fifty Shades Of Grey. Statistically, we are renting more saucy movies, it has emerged.
The 'mummy porn' novel - which is the fastest selling paperback ever - has prompted Brits to explore their naughty sides. Viewing figures of LOVEFiLM's 'Something Saucy' collection have rocketed by 55 per cent overall in the five months since the kinky page-turner hit the shelves, with some individual titles increasing by as much as 300 per cent.
So what naughty flicks have we been renting? Click through the gallery to find out!

"50 Shades of Grey" Hmmmmmmm. The other day I came home and was greeted by my wife, dressed only in very sexy underwear and holding a couple of short velvet ropes.
"Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."
So, I tied her up and went fishing. :)))

Know so many people who have read the books and ALL agree they are so boring after the first few chapters. There are only so many ways you can describne where and how to have sex . It is only the hype that makes people but them in the first place

At least something is getting the economy moving.

Bought this book way before the hype. Knew nothing about it being soft-core porn or filled with explicit sex. Read the first two chapters and totally forgot about it. Then when this craze began I thought, mmm, must go out and get this book everyone's talking about then, lo and behold, discovered it on my bookshelf collecting dust. Of course, I started to read it again and came to the same conclusion .... a non - gripping tale.

I have just finished reading the third book in this series and to be honest with you can't see what all the fuss is about....Jackie Collins and Jilly Cooper have been writing stuff like this for years!! I found the story fairly disappointing and after a while the sex bits get a bit repetitive.
21/08/2012 19:13
I am reading this book and I am 73 and must have led a sheltered life as there are things in this book that I have never heard of .....nevertheless a good read!!

More free advertising pushing this mundane tosh, anyone would have thought it was the first e.r.o.t.i.c book ever written, but as they say "No one ever went broke underestimating the gullibility of the great unwashed" there's nowt as daft as folk as they say, tell enough people enough times and they'll buy anything. Have the British just found out about s.e.x, it has been around a while

Well I don't think that 4 out of the 5 million people who bought the book(s) in the UK alone can be wrong! Definitely not my usual read, but I thought the love story throughout the trilogy was very captivating. Anyone that goes into this thinking it is hardcore porn, will be disappointed. They are merely books, written from the perspective of a young girl, who in her eyes it is ****. Give the author a break, and let people enjoy it for what they want out of a book. There is too much doom and gloom in life.....:o)

old news shades of grey is a book for people with a boring sex life there's nothing new in it and it just shows how sad a nation we have become getting turned on by a mediocre book at best.

Why pay for porn...
WE HAVE THE INTERNET.
21/08/2012 20:57
any book no matter who wrote it or its content is like most things in life...you make of it as you will.
for me as far as the novel itself is concerned i thought to be a saucier mills and boons which as far as romances go im not a fan, it may have had spelling errors and waffle but i loved reading it, it didnt get me hot and bothered if i needed that to keep my marriage going theres the internet for that but on a whole i read all three in a couple of weeks then moved on to the prestige something compleatly different. looking forward to the movie will be interesting how far that goes.
slate it as much as you like i have my own opinion and i dont need to be told what to read, make up your own mind!

What a load of rubbish,just another money racket. Seen it,done it,wore the t/shirt.over rated past time.

50 Shades in my opinion is a very overrated and badly written novel, there is so much unnecessary waffle that removed could have been condensed by half!! Won't be reading the sequels.
21/08/2012 15:23
Yes - because the British have obviously never seen a Mills and Boon style porn novel before.
It's revolutionary. Wow.
(Sarcasm - if you missed it).
Serioously - what is all the fuss about?
21/08/2012 14:31
Fifty shades had a storyline besides sex. Maybe people who have no imagination don't understand all of the storyline and that is why they don't like it!!!.
21/08/2012 13:41
Fifty shades of couldnt care less... as if we need more sex novels and more sex hype ...lol
21/08/2012 17:36
READ IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS TOTALLY BORING,MADE ME WONDER IF IT WAS BASED ON HER PERSONAL EXPIERIENCE,IF SO WHAT A REALLY SAD PERSON SHE MUST BE.
21/08/2012 22:36
not as sexy as cold wind in august or lady chatterlys lover or lif times of frank harris or arthur millers novels now they were sexy

I was sucked in by all the hype and decided to take a copy with me to read while i sunbathed by the pool in Spain... I noticed that 2 other Brits where also reading the saga.. I must admit it made me feel extremely youthful again but i was not alarmed by the sexual content due to living in Sydney city, Australia for 6yrs during .late teens, early 20's. I read ' Lace' when i was 16 which was my first **** novel. 50 shades has proved to be an enjoyable read which added to my holiday relaxation but i have not felt the need to rush out and grap a porno movie. However my hubs got jealous when i read it and threatened to buy NUTTS magazine... I laughed at his boyish jealousy... However i aleady have two names in mind to be Christian and Ana. in the movie version...Cannot wait to see if they are choosen for the upcoming epic. However some words appear too many times like 'Oh my', 'Crap'...Can't wait to see how the' Inner Sex Goddess' is acted out....
