I was shocked by how awful the film was. Ridiculous, really. The sex scenes were so vanilla. It didn’t look particularly kinky to me. There was a lot of beautiful equipment, but not much going on in terms of actual BDSM: it was just about Christian tying Anastasia up. In real BDSM relationships, there’s a lot more connection, a lot more talking, a lot more ritual. The play he did…
They’re back, and ready to tie up some loose ends: Fifty Shades Darker, the highly anticipated sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey, opens in theatres next Friday, Feb. 10. Whether you loved, hated or ignored the first movie or the 150-million-copy book trilogy that preceded it, there’s no denying that the blockbuster started a larger conversation about BDSM in popular culture. Just in case you somehow missed it, BDSM is an abbreviation:…
What is a fantasy? From Freud to Ludacris, it’s been an elusive idea, suggesting both an escape from reality and an expression of hidden desire. In culture, fantasy works like a mirror: It reflects who we are, but it also shapes what we become. Love it or despise it, American culture’s sexual fantasy of the moment is Fifty Shades of Grey. Since Random House bought the rights to the trilogy in 2012, the…
I lately received a very special award from SexIs, as some of you may or may not understand. The Bloggess, the insane outta control woman she is, took over SexIs Magazine for a week and gave away whimsical presents that some might consider. I remember a sparkling penis of vampires and a dildo of unicorn horns. Then the clown suit was there. Ah yes, the suit of the clown. See,…
When it comes to book vs. movie debates, they’re pretty much entirely biased. The people that read the book first would think that the movie was an utter disgrace. The people that saw the movie first will say that the book absolutely sucked. So, the argument becomes a slugfest and there’s no definitive outcome at the end. But, we’re here to provide that definitive answer. We’ll try our best to…
The Fifty Shades of Grey did the world a huge favor by familiarizing it with a bunch of sex toys. The range of toys used in the movie offer a great deal of pleasure and they certainly lifted the negative thinking of the public when it came to sex toys. But, we’re not here to talk about that. We’re here to talk about how the Greedy Girl is one of…
When something thinks of penning a rather peculiar Twilight Fanfiction, they never, in a million years, could imagine developing it into an individual book trilogy and later a movie franchise. To E.L. James, the whole thing couldn’t have been less than a dream. From over-night fame to a movie deal starring Dakota Johnson (known for Crazy in Alabama and Need for Speed) as Anastasia Steele and Jamie Doran (the huntsman…
Basically, if you haven’t heard about the Fifty Shades series, then you’ve probably been living in a cave for the past decade and have no connection to the outside world whatsoever. The Fifty Shades is a trilogy based on the sex life of the starring characters Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. The first movie revolves around a literature student, Steele, that interviewed her soon to be partner. She found…
Bondage before 50 Shades of Grey can be called sort of a taboo. Well, it wasn’t exactly “forbidden”, people were just too embarrassed to ask their other half that they wanted to try BSDM for once. Check out what is all the fuss about bondage anyway! Though, when the book and the movie came out, people widely changed their mind about Bondage in general. BDSM products started getting more sales…
BDSM, or more commonly referred to as Bondage, is the art of using certain materials like locks, ropes, gags in correspondence with sex. That is literally the fanciest way we could describe Bondage. Long story short; tying your other half while having sex is called Bondage. So, why do people like bondage? When one person is completely tied and unable to move while the other person is in control,…
