London, August 19 (ANI): 'Fifty Shades' author EL James has revealed that she regrets never being asked to be a sex slave like the book's heroine Anastasia Steele.

The 48-year-old writer admitted that her steamy novels were based on her fantasies - with domineering kinky sex addict Christian Grey being my ideal man.

Christian's fantastic on paper but it would be a nightmare living with him, the Sun quoted her as saying.

Perhaps I'd like to be told how to dress, eat and behave - but only for ten minutes.

I like the concept, but the reality is you want someone who'll help with the housework as well, she said.

The British author - real name Erika Leonard, a mum of two - hinted that her antics were far removed from those of Grey and lover Anastasia Steele.

Being a mother and sex don't mix well, she added. (ANI)
