Self publishing, by the numbers.

21. Actually, my experience has been...

that it's being read by unfulfilled women who are titillated and aroused by the D/s aspects of 50 Shades but "would never ever do anything like that." because "it's dirty and wrong." (That may just be among my friends and family though.) They know it's bad writing, but it makes their crotches warm and tingly.

I've been trying to tell them that there is much better erotic fiction out there; hell there's better free! erotic fiction out there on the internet that they can read in the comfort of their own home and nobody will ever know they're reading. By the responses that book gets, you'd think nobody ever wrote badly about kinky sex before using small words.

Actually, I feel inspired now to compile a list of better erotic fiction than 50 Shades and write an article.
