Prepare for a VERY happy Christmas: Advance sales of Fifty Shades Of Grey sex toys go through the roof as frisky fans snap up 6,000 pairs of love balls in ONE day
The Fifty Shades of Grey sex boom continues after record sales of the official range of pleasure products developed with the best-seller’s author E L James have been revealed.
A third of the entire stock intended to last until Christmas sold out on the first day of trading after the collection became available for pre-order exclusively at Brtiain’s biggest online sex toy retailer, Lovehoney.co.uk
Extra stock is being shipped to meet the huge demand from couples keen to spice up their Christmas.
The first sales figures for the official range show that fans of the book are keen to try out Christian Grey's sexy games at home.
Topping the popular toys list are the Inner Goddess Silver Balls – selling nearly twice as fast than any other item.
They are described on the site as perfect for those in need of a new toning challenge with added satisfaction: 'Enjoy Anastasia-style pleasure thanks to these advanced kegel balls.'
Second most popular was the Insatiable Desire Mini Vibrator and the Yours and Mine Vibrating Love Ring came third.
E L James has worked with designers to make sure the stylish, high quality range perfectly recreates the items used by Ana Steele and her billionaire lover Christian Grey.
By Christmas, more than 100 million people worldwide will have enjoyed the books and sales in Britain have been higher than in any other country in the world.
With names inspired by passages from the books, this is the first time that fans have been able to buy the official sex toy and soft bondage merchandise.
'We have been overwhelmed by the response,' said Lovehoney co-founder Neal Slateford.
'The figures show which pleasure products described in the books have really captured people’s imaginations.
'A year ago, silver balls were hardly known. Now millions of women want to try them in their bedrooms.
'Encouraged by the books, couples are buying the Official Fifty Shades of Grey sex toys and bondage items for Christmas presents in unprecedented numbers. It looks like a lot of British couples will spend Boxing Day handcuffed to the bed!'
E L James said: 'This range is what I always imagined while I was writing Fifty Shades of Grey. I am so excited that the toys I described in the books have come to life and can now be enjoyed around the world.'
