Housewives with boring sexless lives love 50 Shades of Grey. It is no
surprise to me that these are the same people who love the Twilight
series since 50 Shades of Grey was originally fan fiction of Twilight.Ana Steele (really?), a 22 year old Mary Sue/Bland Protagonist has lots of sex with a Christian Grey, an older entrepreneur. Sometimes it contains the generic definition of BDSM. He gives her expensive shit in exchange for control over her. He obsesses over a contract that she refuses to sign. It is not just badly written, but it does not represent any sort of healthy relationship. I don’t expect a realistic relationship from a romance novel, but something does not sit right with me in this story.
This man is rich, handsome, and powerful. He sees her once and demands control over her. She takes the bait because he is rich and gives her presents. A true BDSM relationship (or any relationship really) is based on trust, not materialism.
The fact that 50 Shades of Grey is so popular and considered risque shames America’s sexuality. BDSM covers all sorts of fetishes, sexual activities, and types of relationships. Yet anything that could be considered more than what is featured in this book is sick, perverted, disgusting, and wrong. Do we have to wait until society deems our sex life normal to talk about it?
What’s worse is they are making a movie of this atrocity. Sheep are going to lick that up like the ending of a circle jerk.
