Oh, wait, this is about 50 Shades of Grey. Right. I'd love to see a strip of the wasp scene.
...For Entomological reasons.
Oh there actually is a tampon scene
I knew there was a tampon scene, but I had to google to make sure there wasn't a wasp scene.
Also, I guess I'm kinkier than I thought, because I read online what the "infamous tampon scene" was and it's just... a guy having sex with his girlfriend while she's on her period? It's obvious why they wouldn't want to film that, but I didn't think it was that unusual a thing for couples to do.

That part doesn't really irk me so much as detailing the removal of her tampon.
That just doesn't strike me as necessary information that advances the plot.
The book started life as a Twilight fan fiction. You're expecting a level of narrative cohesion that just wasn't on the table to begin with.
Scary, or awesome?
I'm leaning towards awesome, myself. Being in the same boat and all.

I'm guessing you'll have a hard time finding anything to fill this category in there.
Assuming you can first find a reasonable designation for the word "plot."
You don't watch or read a lot of porn, do you.
Oh, it's definitely porn. I think something as badly written as this owes it's popularity to the fact that professional porn makers often do not gear their work towards women's fantasies. It's a similar reason as to why The Hunger Games and even Twilight got popular - girls want fiction catered to them, in a world where all too often books and especially movies are catered towards men, with women as an afterthought. 50 Shades may not be good in and of itself, but its existence does at least point out the dearth of material in this area.

It's basically a Twilight style "romance" dressing up an abusive and mutually destructive relationship as something to be desired, except the vampire (who is not actually a vampire (as far as I know)) only manages to keep his pants on for about four pages instead of four books. My wife calls it, "Supremely unarousing."
First, after Gabe has decided to push his talents, it's beginning to look really good. (It was a bit clunky at first, but as a content creator myself, that happens) I like the direction the style is going.
Second, 50 Shades started as a Twilight fanfic, and then the names were changed when a publishing deal came around.
The last time I ordered a McRib, the barbecue sauce was on the outside of the bun. There's a sex joke in there somewhere, I'm sure.
