Yeah 50 shades could have learnt something.
i know nothing about 50 shaed of grey, so what author did wrong in that book? just asking from curiosity
The book is good, much much better than Twilight's love story.
- Dude gave the girl a safeword, and when she used it, he got super mad and didn’t listen to her which breaks the basic rules of Safe, Sane, and CONSENSUAL.
- Gave her a BDSM contract which was actually pretty illegal.
- It romanticises his controlling nature and stalker behaviour to an extremely unhealthy degree. From experience with my own previous abusive partners turned stalkers, it’s not flattering or sweet.
- And way more.
Moreover, the literature used in it is cringey. Here’s a list of some golden lines:

I’ll be brutally honest: the book is shit, and it’s liked by people who either don’t know any better about BDSM, or have that kind of taste.
So boring! The narrative was poor, the characters archetypical, a virginal, dull,,ugly duck waiting for her prince to turned her into a swan and the tipical twenty something multimillionaire, cold man tormented by his past who is turned into a puppy thanks to true love. Lets say is a cliche romantic novel with a soft SM play bad written. It states the premise that someone, like the main character is into BSDS because sth wrong happened to him and equal It with overdependance and well....I will stop here, my english is not good and Im feeling frustrated to not being able to rant as I would want to.
haha wth "His voice is warm and husky like dark melted chocolate fudge caramel... or something." that had me rollinggggggggggg
It's a fan fiction by someone who wrote it, inspired by the Twilight books.
What’s not so conventional is their sex. Early on in the first book, Ana discovers that Christian has a “dark secret”: He’s obsessed with BDSM—a condensed abbreviation for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. This is the central tension of the books: Ana loves Christian, but she doesn’t want to be his submissive; Christian loves Ana, but he’s turned on by violent sex.
As several experienced BDSM practitioners emphasized to me, there are healthy, ethical ways to consensually combine sex and pain. All of them require self-knowledge, communication skills, and emotional maturity in order to make the sex safe and mutually gratifying. The problem is that Fifty Shades casually associates hot sex with violence, but without any of this context. Sometimes, Ana says yes to sex she’s uncomfortable with because she’s too shy to speak her mind, or because she’s afraid of losing Christian; she gives consent when he wants to inflict pain, yet that doesn’t prevent her from being harmed."
Nothing turns me on more than when BDSM's done right! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
