If you, too, have found yourself wanting to act out some of the book, but are unsure of how to break into it or how to get your partner on board, just follow these tips.
- First introduce your husband/partner to the concepts of the book. Rather than hand the book over to him and expect him to read the entire series, talk about some of the scenes that interest you. Is it the sex toys or the idea of giving up more control to your partner that interests you?
- Ease your partner into the idea of taking control with a “surrender date.” It’s a date in where your man choses your outfit, hair/make-up style, restaurant, and even orders for you. The idea is to give your man control so you can experience what it’s like to be Ana.
- If you’re ready to take the next step in giving more control to your partner, try introducing household items such as scarves, ties or soft rope to imitate some of the bondage scenes Christian does with Ana.
- If you’re ready for sex toys, consider going to Adam and Eve, where you can find everything from Ben Wa Balls (the silver balls in Fifty Shades of Grey) to spreader bars to riding crops.
- Finally, be sure to keep open communication with your partner. You don’t need a Fifty Shades contract or even safe words like Christian and Ana – unless you want to, of course, to make it more interesting.

This guest editorial was brought to you by Adam and Eve. But I’m a huge fan to the Fifty Shades trilogy and thought my readers would enjoy this post.

Thanks so much for stopping by and folowing me
I am following you now as well and “Liked” you on FB.
I still haven’t got around to reading this but I really want to.. if for nothing else but to check out what all the hype is about. Have you ever read the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice? The sounds of Fifty Shades of Grey reminds me of it kind of.
Thanks again for stopping by and have an excellent 4th of July Holiday!
Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! I still haven’t read the book but need to. It sounds interesting lol

After hearing so many of my girlfriends say they couldn’t put it down I had to check it out and now I am completely sucked in and can’t put it down myself!

Thanks for visiting. I got sucked in too about a quarter of the way into the 1st book. Now I’m seriously addicted.
My friends have been raving about this book so I downloaded the trilogy. I haven’t gotten around to it just yet. I am thinking of starting it when I am at the beach house this summer and can relax a bit. My friends told me that they aren’t sure how much ‘relaxing’ I’ll be getting after I read the book. HAHAHA

You’ll love this series – and your husband will be thanking you. I agree you probably won’t get much rest. You’ll be up late at night reading and doing other things.
Thanks for stopping by.
