Fifty Shades of Grey couldn’t get out of the news if it tried at the moment, and now it’s believed to have boosted sales of sex toys and lingerie across Britain.
Money saving site VoucherCodesPro.co.uk tracked its sales in June and found that Fifty Shades has increased the number of people visiting the site looking to buy sex toys and lingerie.
The site tracks what its users search for each month in order to keep up with the latest trends and have found that there was a definite trend in June’s searches.
The top three things to be searched were ‘50 Shades’, ‘Sex toy discounts’ and ‘Ann Summers’.
The previous months searches had centred around holidays, The Hunger Games and eating out, but were soon knocked off the top spots after the release of Fifty Shades of Grey.
When the site were tracking the site usage of individual numbers, they found that out of the high number of people searching for the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, 68 per cent of them went on to look at lingerie related discounts.
Further to that, a further 26 per cent of users went on to search for sex toy related discounts, showing that the themes in the book are being replicated by those reading it.
George Charles, Marketing Director at VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, says, “E L James’ 50 Shades trilogy has certainly had some impact on search trends on our site. It would appear that there is a direct correlation between the searches for the erotic novel and other terms such as those linking to adult toys and adult retailer Ann Summers.
“Perhaps the novels, which have become some of the fastest selling books of all time – largely due to word of mouth – are not just having an impact on the discussion topics amongst females around the UK, but it’s translating into a difference in the bedroom too.”

Stunning new Bond Girl Berenice
Marlohe has stripped off for the new issue of GQ, revealing her knockout
figure in racy lingerie.
But despite appearing scantily clad
for the mens magazine, the 33-year-old reveals that her fans may be
left a little disappointed by the lack of nudity in the upcoming 007
film SkyFall.
‘With the Bond movies, you never
really see nudity – they’re quite chaste, actually,’ the French beauty
says. ‘Which is, to me, the best way.
Sultry: New Bond Girl Berenice Marlohe strips off for GQ magazine… but says she won’t be getting nude in SkyFall
‘Nowadays you see too many naked women,
all the time, everywhere. In video clips. It’s so boring! You lose this
magic and suddenly a woman that is dressed seems way more attractive.’
Despite her comments, Berenice simply sizzles in sheer lacy lingerie in her photoshoot for GQ, with just an unbutton black coat to provide some modesty.
The actress’ flat stomach and toned legs are on display as she poses seductively next to vintage cars.
Are you really worried? The actress admits she was nervous about being a Bond Girl, saying she wondered, ‘Oh my God, what do people expect? Do they just expect someone who is pretty?’
Berenice admits that she felt trepidation at the thought of taking on such an iconic role as a Bond Girl when she was offered the part.
‘I kept hearing it all the time – Bond
girl, Bond girl, Bond girl – and I thought, “Oh my God, what do people
expect?”‘ Merlohe reveals.
‘”Do they just expect someone who is
pretty? What do they want me to do?”‘
It is doubtful that the actress, with her smouldering looks, has much to worry about in that department.
But it hasn’t been an easy ride for the rising star, who says her appearance actually held her back from landing roles in her native France.
‘All the French agents told me, “No, you don’t look like a French actress, this will not work”,’ she explained. ‘Even people who saw me in acting workshops and wanted to introduce me to people; when those people considered my picture, they said, “No, she will never work in France”. I don’t know what to say. I was not in the mould.’
The August issue of GQ is on-sale from Thursday 5th July.

Bond girls always look so seductive exotic. There’s none of that cookie cutter blandness or plastic fantastic with them. She’ll have to go some way to beat Eva Green though, she’s my favourite.
