Yeah ... my sil read and loved the books. I think she thought I was shocked because of my religion - no, I just didn't know how to say that it wasn't very accurate.
Same here. The first time she mentioned loving the books and told me about her views regarding the scenes described in them, I got completely tongue-tied. She thought I was being really prudish and tried to tease me into reading the books several times, for the shock value. Eventually I couldn't bite my tongue and told her that from what I've heard, the books are not only...flawed when it comes to writing, but also that I wouldn't like to read stuff that, based on what I've heard, promotes completely unrealistic and even unhealthy and stigmatizing views on BDSM. She was slightly shocked I discussed the matter using the (to her) strange terminology she had only learned from the books without skipping a beat.
My sil had commented on my relationship with J being "old-fashioned", but I could see that after our discussion her brain started ticking. I guess now she knows what our "old-fashioned" looks like in the bedroom. Or at least she thinks she does, because in reality 50SoG doesn't seem to represent what we do and how we run our relationship.
She hasn't brought up the books since, which is fine.
