PARODY OF DEL DRYDEN’S THE THEORY OF ATTRACTION

I am not calling this feature fan fiction anymore because that really isn’t what it is – it’s more of a spoof on a particular scene in a book. This week it is on Del Dryden’s book The Theory of Attraction. It’s a really good book and I reviewed it a few months ago. You can click on the link at the bottom of the page and read my review as well as buy her book. It is definitely worth it, Del has a very smooth writing style and the story moves quickly. Anyway in the book the hero is a genius who has a hard time relating to people and BDSM is his way of relating to women. There is a scene in the book when the hero is explaining his expectations to the heroine when it comes to sex. 


The first thing she has to do is take her clothes off and assume the “present” position which means lying on the floor on her stomach with her knees pulled to her chest to present her ass and vagina for inspection. This scene is the first time the heroine assumes the position for inspection. 

Sheldon: Present.

Penny takes off her clothes and lies on the floor with her ass in the air. Sheldon walks behind her, looks for a moment and says: “Ok get dressed”.
 
Penny: Huh? I thought we were going to have sex?

Sheldon: We can’t you failed inspection.

Penny: What? How did I fail inspection? What’s wrong with me?

Sheldon: You’re asshole needs to be waxed, it’s really hairy.

Penny: WHAT? OMG are you serious? It is not hairy!

Sheldon: Yes it is, it looks like a Chia Pet.

Penny: OMG this is so embarrassing it does not!

Sheldon: I’m afraid so. You need to go get that fixed and meet me back here tomorrow and we will try again. I don’t think a wax will do it though – you may need a weed wacker.

Penny: Oh.My.God! It can’t be that - 

Sheldon: Don’t argue with the Matador Penny.

Penny goes and gets a full Brazilian wax and meets Sheldon the next day.

Sheldon: Present.

Penny assumes the position and Sheldon walks behind her as he carefully looks her over.

Sheldon: Ok get dressed.

Penny: I failed again?

Sheldon: Yes, you have a hemorrhoid that is grossing me out and needs to be fixed. 

Penny: OMG I am so embarrassed! Are you serious?

Sheldon: Yes. Here is some Preparation H. Call me when your hemorrhoid is gone.

Penny calls a few weeks later and meets Sheldon and assumes the position.

Sheldon: Ok get dressed.

Penny: What now!?

Sheldon: Penny what kind of toilette paper do you use?

Penny: Northern why?

Sheldon: Because it’s not doing the job that’s why.

Penny: This is so humiliating. I can’t believe this.

Penny goes and takes a shower and comes back. 

Sheldon: Your asshole looks much better Penny – good girl. Now roll on your back and grab you ankles and pull them to your ears so I can get a good look at your vagussy.

Penny rolls on her back and does what she is told as Sheldon begins his inspection. 

Penny: Is that a magnifying glass?

Sheldon: SILENCE! You don’t speak unless the matador tells you to speak!

Sheldon continues with his inspection by inserting a finger into her vagussy. He leaves for a moment and walks over to his desk.

Penny: OMG are you taking notes?

Sheldon: I WILL NOT TELL YOU AGAIN. SILENCE.

Sheldon: Penny do you have good peripheral vision?

Penny: I guess so why?

Sheldon: Just wondering.

Two hours later Sheldon is done with the inspection.

Sheldon: Ok get dressed and meet me in the living room.

Penny: I failed again? What is it now?

Sheldon: Just get dressed and we will go downstairs and talk about it.

Penny gets dresses and goes to the living room where Sheldon is sitting on the couch and sits next to him.

Sheldon: As you guessed you failed inspection again. Here is a list of things that are wrong with you that need to be fixed before we can have sex as he hands her several sheets of paper.

Penny looks at the heading of paper “THINGS THAT ARE WRONG WITH YOU”: OMG all of these things are wrong with me?

Sheldon: No. There is a lot more wrong with you than that – those are just the ones that need to be fixed right away.

Penny begins reading the list: OMG my vagussy is too loose?

Sheldon: Yes it’s humongous

Penny: Really? Why? I don’t understand why it would be so big. 

Sheldon: I don’t know but you could smuggle people across the border in there. You need to do Kegal exercises. 

Penny looks back down at the list: Ok are you serious with this one? My second toe is longer than my big toe. Seriously.

Sheldon: Yes that is a trait serial killers have and it’s weird. You need to fix it.

Penny still gazing at the list: My left nipple is off center.  

Sheldon: Yes it is two centimeters too far right. When I look at your tits it’s like looking at a person with lazy eye. 

Penny: I can’t believe this. Wait. What does this mean? Get a tattoo of an eyeball on each one of my ass cheeks? Why?

Sheldon: I like getting oral sex but I can’t get it from you because it would be too distracting so if you get those tattoos then when I am behind you having sex I can look down and see those eyes and pretend I am getting a blow job.

Penny: Wait. What? Why can’t I just give you a blow job?

Sheldon: Because it is too distracting.

Penny: What is distracting?

Sheldon: Read number 57.

Penny looks at the paper: OMG MY EYES ARE TOO FAR APART?!

Sheldon: Yes. They are almost on the side of your head.

Penny: They are not! I can’t believe you are saying this! Wait is that why you asked me if I have good peripheral vision?

Sheldon: Yes.

Penny: You are making me feel bad about myself. I don’t think I want to do this anymore.

Sheldon: Penny it is only natural for someone with so many flaws to feel that way but I can help you like I help all of my sub missives. I have the best plastic surgeon in the world and I will cover the costs. He even specializes in people with fish eyes.

Penny: FISH EYES!?

Sheldon: Yes and he can fix number 62 as well.

Penny looks at the paper: My butt crack is too long?

Sheldon: Penny these are minor things and when you are done you will look just like a normal person and we can resume our relationship.

  1. What!!! My second toe is longer than my big toe!! I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER! :scary!
    I think you may have crossed the line with this one El Matodor, the BBL could get angry! It is pretty funny though! :-)

  2. Yup, I was right. I did laugh so hard, I almost peed and cried. And now the BBLs will be either doing contortionistic feats trying to judge their intimate areas or pulling husbands away from football for the samw kind of inspection. :lol:

  3. That was too funny, RM. I think every author should be parodied by you. Dear Lord, it’s like getting Roasted on Comedy Central or something. Could you invite charlie sheen? Or Channing Tatum.

    Wait, wait, I know…your very favorite person, Tim Tebow. ;p

  4. Matador? Hmmmm……..this came after you read the book? Now we must read the book to gain some insight into a certain RMs thinking……
    I’ll go get it. Thx RM.

  5. LOL thats was fantastic, RM! I think my favourite of her flaws were the lazy nipple and the over-long ass crack!

    I have this book on my kindle already, will be bumping it to the top of my TBR list :)

  6. O.M.G. in NEON LIGHTS!

    I just finished frosting the chocolate, peanut butter brownies when I decided to get online.

    I COULD NOT lick the spoon after this post.

    Your parody is hysterical and the book sounds interesting, although I don’t read BDSM, I do love a nerdy hero, so I’ll have to give it a try.

    You can parody my book any time, although, my sex scene is so vanilla and my heroine would probably kick you in the head if you tried to boss her around. LOL

    Again. O.M. FREAKIN’ G. I can’t believe these thoughts go through your head. What am I thinking? Of course they do, you’re the Matador. LOL

      • Is it BDSM like Amber Lin’s, where it’s not so blatant, or is it more graphic?

        Do I have to stay away from chocolate frosting while reading? LOL LOL I can’t get that visual out of my head!

        Chia pet. LOL LOL

        Weed wacker. LOL LOL

        My dog thinks I’ve lost my mind, I’m still laughing.

  7. I find it interesting that Matador had so many excuses not to *ahem* perform any dominating duties. Mayhap someone should check his own chiapet and measure his cucumber?

  8. Agree it’s a great book but the parody is genius, thank you! Of course now I won’t ever be able to watch a Big Bang episode without thinking of it :D

  9. I really like this book, but I have to say that I am a little freaked out by your post. Two days ago, I had a text conversation with Zombie Killer in which I dismissed her opinion that Ivan reminded her of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. I tried to tell her that Sheldon is one of those completely asexual beings that would one day just bud or spore to reproduce and that he would never have sex much less enjoy BDSM. Now you use Sheldon in this parody. First pickles, now this. I don’t know if I can talk to you right now.

    By the way, where was the question at the end? The answer is Jelly Bellies– all other jelly beans suck :) .

  10. Man, you have ruined the whole BDSM scene for me now :evil: To think of a Dom scrutinizing his sub like that :???:
    FYI readers, the real story by Delphine stopped right after he said “present” .

    Her book is really great, and I recommend it even if you’re not into BDSM b/c it is so well done; and the nerd really needs the structure to any kind of sex life at all :grin:

  11. LOL, hahahahahahahaha, jajajajajajajajajaja…
    Oh my! oh, you made me laugh.
    Que risa!
    I would tell the man what he could do with his lists.
    BDSM is not my cup of tea.

  12. This made me lmao! It also reminded me of another book I read. Can’t remember the name. When she had presented herself to him and she wasn’t shaved to his liking, he used tweezers to remove the remaining hair.
    I would have kicked him in the balls and then while he was down, shave his balls!

  13. Funny as always! I was just telling friends yesterday about this book. i enjoyed it but I kept picturing Ivan as a cross between Sheldon and Christian Grey which gave me a headache.

  14. Holy shit, I’m pretty sure I my kids think I’ve lost it. I spat my tea across the room and nearly choked to death reading this. They keep asking what happened as tears poured down my face. I couldn’t tell them for fear of them hunting you down to pay for the life long therapy they would surely need.

    I will never have sex in the daylight or with the lights on ever again and absolutely NO magnifying devises will be allowed in the house.

    Thank you RM, I thnk you scare me a little but have to say I love your how your mind works :-)

  15. OMG, the peripheral vision thing made me laugh my ass off. Nice job, Remy.

    I loved Del’s book! The scene on the way to the movie theater is when all the tinglies started for me. LOVED him. Major RAWR!

  16. What kind of toilet paper do you use? You could smuggle people across the border in there? LMAO! This is totally classic. Absolutely loved it. This book is already on my Kindle but I’m thinking it just moved up my TBR list. Thanks for the laugh :-)

    • Trudy, you know this isn’t actually in the book, right? It’s a parody of one scene, from the mind of “Matador” ;-) I haven’t read the book yet but I’m sure the actual scene plays out very differently!

          • Damn that was suppose to be
            Were you really up at 3:48…I am getting spell check spoiled

          • you’ve made me totally paranoid about having to wax down thare. i’m not a hairy person but now i’m self conscious. if i had to present i might wet myself like a nervous puppy. you’ve got me wrecked now

  17. OMG. *giggle *giggle *giggle *giggle *choke *cough *cough *cough *asthma attack*

    Thanks for that. :|

    No, really, that was hilarious. Don’t listen to my lungs; they have issues.

    On a serious note, I loved everything about The Theory of Attraction – except the BDSM. I thought that Ms. Dryden’s writing was amazing. The submission just hit too close to a lot of my working-on-it-in-therapy issues. I hope she writes something non-BDSM in the future, as I’d love to read it!

  18. Okay…this one went well beyond my acceptable gross-out factor. Yes, I’m admitting that there are some visuals that I really don’t need, and the one of RM sitting at his computer TYPING this was just more than I can take.

    RM, where DOES your mind go in your off hours? M’thinks it’s a scary, scary place. But yes, loved this and just liked it so all my Facebook friends will know what kind of guys I hang out with in MY off hours! Good job, m’dear! :-)

  19. RM: I went back and read your parody again. Seriously…..Mr. Matador (I’m showing respect here)……you’re a talented writer and finding your niche in writing is a journey not to be missed. It’s all about the journey we take to get where we think we should be. What would the fun be in having it handed to you without the struggle?
    Note: I put my real name next to the Skeletor name (which you pretty much gave my icon and I liked it) – just so you’d know how sincere I am being in this post. Maybe not the other posts I’ve made but this one is heartfelt.

  20. I would like to point out that the office is not the best place to have read this.

    I am still giggling and these people already look at me like I am crazy.

    Well done, sir.

    • LOL Linda I know what you mean. I knew some people wouldn’t like this but the book is really good and when I read I kept asking myself “what happens if she fails the inspection” so that’s how this came about. It’s just silly.

  21. RM: quick note here. I just finished reading it and found it to be quite brilliant. I don’t know how else to put it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank you, for the blog and book suggestion.

  22. RM, I want you to know that my kids stopped watching Shark Week and almost called 911 because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe & was turning different colors. Chia Pet? Fish eyes? Lazy eye Boobs? OMG! I will be laughing for hours!

  23. the book was well written and an interesting perspective on living with an asberger type personality. but i can’t imagine she wasn’t
    black and blue quite a bit. definitely has a niche.
