It is, and it's also BDSM. Sometimes I wonder why certain things attain mainstream popularity and others don't. It doesn't bother me like it does others for some inexplicable reason, but I am curious: why did the Grey series explode like it did, and not the Sleeping Beauty trilogy? Why the Twilight series and not the Vampire Chronicles (although they were very popular, but not to the same extent or to the same wide-ranging audience as Twilight). Hell, there's a ton of vampire literature out there, from the highest high brow to the lowest low brow, why that one, out of all of them? I always kind of figured it might be just because the covers are pretty.

Do those Grey books have eye-catching covers too?

This blast from the past was an entertaining thread. Number 1 of the worst! Best of the worst! No clear winner of course.

Written by the third little pig? No but Mr WMcG. Ach there is harmless fun in him. He's a street balladeer and on that basis not bad at all.

I absolutely struggled with the Earth's Children series by J.M. Auel. Never made it past the first chapter of The Mammoth Hunters. Boy does she take her time to narrate things.
