If you've read or are reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, you probably fit one of two descriptions: You're totally turned-on by the love affair and S&M sex scenes between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, or you who think the book is a piece of garbage -- not only because it's so poorly written, but the sex scenes are degrading and/or not nearly as sexy as they could be.

Ladies in the latter camp, sorry, this isn't a post for you. But women who admittedly found themselves hot and bothered by Mr. Grey's seduction of Miss Steele, you'll want to listen up. Because now you can attend a Fifty Shades of Grey sex workshop! The sex toy store Babeland recently invited women to come find out "how to try out some of the scenes from the book ... discuss ways to make your fantasies a reality."

Hot! But hmm, workshops like this are not necessarily for every woman who has, as they say, "fallen under the spell of Fifty Shades of Grey." And that's okay.

Few things are MORE embarrassing than having your daughter accidentally stumble across your big ol' neon purple vibrator while rooting around in your sock drawer and having to explain, "Um, oh, that's just mommy's back massager, sweetie. Here, uh, let me get you my expensive cashmere sweater so you can dress up your stuffed animals ..." We have the solution well in hand with 7 discreet vibrators especially for privacy-starved moms:

It may not come as a surprise that the nation behind some of the smoothest rides on the road are also enamored of another kind of mechanical toy. A recent survey by tennis star Bjorn Borg's underwear line questioned 1,700 people between the ages of 18 and 30 in nine different countries and found that Germans really love themselves some tools and gadgets in the bedroom. Forty-four percent of Germans said they prefer a little mechanical stimulation between the sheets. What's German for "ooh la la"?

I love how the book Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James is inspiring women -- tons of moms -- to bring some kink into the bedroom ... or car, office, backyard, enchanted forest. We all need a little perversion in our lives and bondage is a great way to start. But how can you bring this kind of passion into your own sex life? First you need a willing partner, of course, plus trust between the two of you, and good communication.

Next decide who will be the dominant and who will be the submissive -- but take turns, at least in the beginning since dominating and surrendering are both extreme turn-ons. Though you may find you like doing one more than the other -- which is where your good communication comes in. Then you are going to need a safe word so your moment of pleasure doesn't go too far into What did I do?! I don't want to do that! territory.

Once you have all that out of the way, here is how to make bondage the "tie" that binds you as a couple ... and re-charges your sex life.

If you think 50 shades of gray has to do with paint samples at Home Depot, boy, are you in for a surprise. Take a look at The New York Times digital best seller list annd you'll see 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James at the top, followed by the other two books in the trilogy -- 50 Shades Darker and 50 Shades Freed. They are THE books everyone is talking about and they're coming Stateside in hardback next month. Not that you'd necessarily want to lug around this 528-page X-rated erotic book of porn because, yeah, that might be a little awkward to read on your commute, but still! It's plausible that the novel's cult-like following will inspire women to pick up a copy, forget embarrassment, and embrace the hotness -- the books, I hear, are extremely steamy.

And one of the biggest demographics reading this too hot to trot literature? Moms. Sounds like bedrooms all over the country are getting a little more interesting thanks to the arousing colloquy stylings of Ms. E.L. James.

A lot of people get squeamish about sex toys -- it may be hard to talk to your partner about masturbation. I mean, it's a solo act, right? Sometimes guys get all jealous and bent out of shape when we use our sex toys rather than have sex with them.

But does it have to be all or nothing? Do we have to use sex toys alone ... or can we involve our partner?

Turns out, we can.

Here are six sex toys you can use to keep your sex life sizzling.

You know what's missing from the world? More photos of Mason Disick in Burberry. Know what else is missing? More asinine toys that simulate kissing. One's just not enough, you know? I don't know if you've seen this "kiss transition robot," but it's really only a matter of time before stores are flooded with things like this because, man oh man, I know everyone out there is really excited to pucker up to a plastic toy pig that "simulates" smooching your sweetheart.

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy came home. This little piggy had roast beef, and this little piggy vibrated on your lips until your cheeks went numb and you started questioning your decision making.

Words don't do this thing any justice, clearly. So please. Allow this homemade video to do the explaining.

It's hard, especially if you've been a long-term relationship or marriage, to keep the sexy alive. It's easy to fall into a rut when it comes to a romp in the bedroom -- we've all done it -- and harder than ever to come back out of the rut with some new sexy moves.

There's no one better to discuss how to please a man then, well, another man.

Here are 15 suggestions from guys about how to bring the heat back into your relationship:
