Don't Judge A Book By Its Shitty Movie

I haven't been on this website since my Junior year in high school when our English teacher made us create these profiles for our class. I've decided I have a lot to say about a lot of things, I'm a fairly opinionated person, and I think getting it all out could be both beneficial to me and fun. That being said, lets blog!

I want to start my first official post as an adult, out of high school, blogging for fun, talking about a trilogy of books I recently finished. Nothing super special, just The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. There are numerous articles and critics adding fuel to the fire about how "terrible" these books are and how they try to justify "abuse" and "masochistic/sadistic" behavior. This behavior is defined as a tendency to derive sexual gratification from being physically or emotionally abused. A sadist is just someone who receives sexual gratification from causing pain to others. I can see where people are coming from because Mr. Grey  refers to himself as a dominant, which is a more gentle word meaning sadist.

Now if you've read the books and are not basing your opinion on the trilogy from the movie alone, then you get more insight into how arousing some of the acts actually sound. Only in the first book/movie (which at this point there is only one movie that has been released, its up in the air as to whether or not they will continue making the movies) does Christian even get slightly "violent" with the main character Anastasia and honestly its only because she literally begged him to show her his worst punishment. After all that goes down and she leaves him it completely changes him as a person and she practically has to beg him to do anything dominant/submissive again, although she never really did become an actual submissive of his.  

Basically the point I want to make from all of this would be that you should get all the facts (like reading all the books and not just watching a damn movie) before causing a world war based from sides and opinions. You either liked the story or you didn't, but there was definitely so much more to the story than just what one movie decided to tell. 

Personally I enjoyed the books. It taught me about a lifestyle I never knew actually existed (and it does) and to a certain extent, it even got me a bit curious and  into experimenting a little more with different things. I'm not saying I want to become a submissive or get whipped with leather flogs but some things described in the book were described as causing major pleasure so they couldn't have been all too bad.
