It’s not even very good softcore porn. Tell me, at what age is reading about people having sex where one of the two uses their power and money to trick the other into thinking that they’re loved and not just some playboys breathing sex doll appropriate?
Edit: monitor? Yes. Actively discuss about? If they want to.
If fifty shades interests them even after talking over what it’s about, that’s fine. They’re allowed to make mistakes to learn from. Our jobs as parents are to teach them and to help them figure out who they are, not hide them away from society and keep them in ignorance as long as possible.
Again when is that book appropriate? Restricting a book when they can easily get a copy online or find worse fanfiction is just silly to me.
If they want to read something I don’t want them to for whatever reason, making it forbidden is a good way to make sure they read it, especially for teenagers.
Back to the main point of this thread, book banning is not doing the kids any favors and only serves to restrict thinking and learning. Even bad twilight fanfiction can serve as an example of what shouldn’t happen.

Exactly, it’s bad porn, give them a better, more age appropriate book.
