"50 Shades" is abuse

[UKHeather]

I too interpreted the control and humilation exerted by the Christian Grey character as abuse. Saying that, lots of ladies I know loved the book and found it sexy!
Seduction is sexy, abuse is not.

I agree, it's absolute abuse, as I'd much prefer you were doing the control and humiliation

Oh, there's no doubt the main character is a sociopath (the treatment of the previous gf's proves this). But cruel, emotionally abusive men have been getting knickers wet for many years.

And long may they continue!

I have no problem with the book, amusing tosh. If only there were so many kinky wealthy good looking industrialist S&M fans around

It is fantasy, peeps. You will get off on it if you have a mild sub streak. You will be amused by it if you have a domme streak. You won't get it at all if you favour the odd Saturday night tickle with the lights off.

Should you ever worry about its ''message''? Um no. It is fiction, designed to titillate those with boring love lives. It also gets people talking about things that would previously have been considered Taboo. Well done that woman. But no, I won't read it in full. I have an imagination. As for worry about the abuse contained there in? Other than to think ohhhh, yes please, um..no.

For sure. As a Domme, I know that the line between pleasure and pain is tiny...and tantalising. To allow another the ability to control that...precious

It is tiny but lets not talk about my manhood in public lol

I often wonder who gets the most thrill tho the Domme or sub?

Who is in control really?

I'd like to be tied up and taken advantage of. . . I think it stems from my childhood of being tied up and taken advantage of. . .

One mens food is the other mens poison ....

But this book sets women rights back 50 years , has no age limit for buyers ( can be sold to minors ) and is most certainly not a masterpiece as advertised !

Its a piece about a sociophat whos big fear of women plays out in dominant mindgames and his insecurity about himself is only coated over by violence against women , disguised as erotic S&M games !

Reading between the lines , as suggested by an earlier comment , I see a poor insecure fucker who gets of by hurting women and the book paints in glorifying colours !

Everybody has a personal opinion , but when I see business women in pantsuit reading it I ask myself why some brave ladies found it important to risk health and life to fight for the rights NOT to be abused by men and to make shure the laws about violence against women change !
