The meteoric rise of Fifty Shades of Grey is set to spark a new baby boom, according to pregnancy and parenting websites.
Its phenomenon is predicted to be seen in the delivery room after on line forums, like those of the popular website Baby Center, have been teeming with mothers' revitalized sex stories, thanks to the erotic novel.
Linda Murray, global editor in chief of Baby Center told Good Morning America: 'Reading 50 Shades of Grey is acting like an aphrodisiac for women.'
'It's putting them in the mood more frequently and they're having more sex and they're ultimately getting pregnant faster,' she added.
One of the best-selling book series off all time, the erotic trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed, by British author E L James has sold 20 million copies in the last four months alone.
The books' plot, revolving around the explicitly detailed relationship between protagonists Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele's sadomasochistic sexual encounters, is said to have sparked a 'mommy porn' revolution.
One BabyCentre user wrote: 'It was kind of erotic and sensual and loving and compassionate all at the same time, which kind of got my insides going, I guess.'
Carly and Leroy Gibson of Spokane, Washington, said that after spending 14 months trying to have another baby, all the sexy had been taken out of sex.
Mrs Gibson said: 'I think the fun was taken out of it at that point in time because you're like, "Okay, here it is. Day 14. We've got five days to go. Go strong. I don't care if you're tired…it's time to go to work."'
