We're Smuts, Not Sluts

So Leslie and I like to read, often the same books. In fact we shamefully created a book club, a smutty book club! Yes we like hot, saucy, funny and sometimes cheesy books. Yes we're SMUTS, not to be confused with sluts! Judge away world! Judge. A. Way! We've done Fifty Shades (twice, yes I read all three twice), Crossfire Series, Lucky Harbor, Stephanie Plum, and our most recent favorite Wallbanger. Now some ladies I encounter say they don't like such books (we call them liars and/or prudes). I've heard the tales of, "I'm happy in my own life and marriage, I don't need that smut." Then there are those that think they breed a culture of unhappy women who think that men like Christian Grey, Gideon Cross and Ranger actually exist and will in turn become unfulfilled with their less than Fifty Shades of a husband. To them I say, your loss! I am a very happily married woman who realizes those men are fictional. Real men fart, forget birthdays, shrink your favorite sweater in the dryer and have been know to sniff test clothing out of the hamper to determine if it's clean enough to wear (I thought he'd outgrown this, but it's been 10 years). And I'm alright with these things because, you may find this next part shocking, but brace yourself, I'm not a perfect women. There I said it, but I'll deny it tomorrow! While these books offer a fun escape from reality and something fun for Leslie and I to fantasize, err, I mean talk about, I actually argue they are good for my marriage. The fun, sexy, sometimes flirty nature of these books inspires me be a little sassy and reminds me to flirt a little with that adorable man I share my bed with (my husband, geesh, get your mind out of the gutter). These books remind me of those early days of falling in love with him, the butterflies, all the fun firsts and the days when I shaved my legs everyday! So to our fellow ladies we say SMUT ON! And with that said, every Wednesday (or most Wednesdays, we're moms, sometimes we're too tired to type or read) we're going to review our most recent read! Let us know what you're reading! And we highly recommend Wallbanger...Go Team O!
