Digested read: Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James

The Guardian/John Crace/29 April 2012

Who could resist a thrashing from such a gorgeous and enigmatic man? Not my inner goddess, that's for sure



My inner goddess melts as he forces his tongue inside me. I have never been this wet before, etc. He bends me over his knee and slaps me hard. It feels wrong, but somehow very right. His enormous penis, etc. Juddering orgasms, etc.

"Sleep with me, Sir," I beg, as I try to draw his handsome body closer to mine.

"I can't. I had a deeply disturbed childhood and S&M relationships are the only ones I can sustain."

"Tell me about your commitment problems."

"They are too disturbing. You will find I am 50 Shades of Grey. Yet I find myself strangely drawn to your virginal, 20-year-old body in a way that I have never previously experienced."

My subconscious tells me I should run away from this control freak right now, but my inner goddess is telling me to stay.



"I've got a cold and I can't interview Christian Grey, the enigmatic multimillionaire tycoon, for the student newspaper today," says Kate, my roommate. "Please take my place, Ana."

Wow! I take one look at Mr Grey and can barely speak. With his tousled hair, he is so mouthwateringly gorgeous. The epitome of male beauty. "G-gosh," I say.

"You seem to be struck dumb, Miss Steele," he wryly observes. "I like that in a woman."

On the way home, my cell phone rings.

"Come to dinner," says Christian.

"How did you know my number?"

"It's my business to know everything. I like to exercise control. My helicopter will pick you up at seven."

I am unable to resist. No man has ever affected me in this way before.

"Here's the contract for our relationship," he says, slipping an oyster down my throat. "I will be the Dominant and you will be the Submissive. You will do everything I say and allow me to cane you, tie you up, sodomise you, clamp your genitals and fist you. In return I will buy you a car and a laptop."

"But Sir," I exclaim. "I'm still a virgin, so I will have to draw the line at fisting."


"You drive a hard bargain, Miss Steele."

My inner goddess melts as he forces his tongue inside me. I have never been this wet before, etc. He bends me over his knee and slaps me hard. It feels wrong, but somehow very right. His enormous penis, etc. Juddering orgasms, etc.

"Sleep with me, Sir," I beg, as I try to draw his handsome body closer to mine.

"I can't. I had a deeply disturbed childhood and S&M relationships are the only ones I can sustain."

"Tell me about your commitment problems."

"They are too disturbing. You will find I am 50 Shades of Grey. Yet I find myself strangely drawn to your virginal, 20-year-old body in a way that I have never previously experienced."

My subconscious tells me I should run away from this control freak right now, but my inner goddess is telling me to stay. That I can help this poor troubled man. Christian changes into a sexy pair of faded denim jeans and leads me to his Red Room of Pain. I willingly allow myself to be chained to a crucifix while he thrashes my clitoris with a leather hunting crop. The pain is intense, but the pleasure more so. My inner goddess is panting for him not to stop until ... juddering climaxes, etc.

"I wouldn't normally allow myself to be treated like this," I say. "But somehow, Christian, it is OK with you as I can sense that one day we may have a loving relationship."

"It is the Submissive who has all the power," he witters, "and I can feel myself slowly yielding to you."

Oh yes please, my inner goddess yells. Does he really love me as much as Kate keeps telling me he does? And why am I so jealous of his previous Subs, and why don't I ask him a single question about his job or his life even though we have met one another's parents in circumstances bordering on the unbelievable?

Submit yourself to the greatest thrashing of your life, my inner goddess says, to prove how much you love him and to let him show how much he loves you. Torn ass cheeks/moist vagina/pain/yet more juddering climaxes, etc.

"I love you, yet I have to go," I sob.

"Why?"

"Because we're only going to get to the bottom of your commitment issues after you've spanked your way through the next two books."


Digested read, digested: What every woman wants. Obviously.

The book is already so over the top it probably shouldn't bug me, but the extremely bad and unrealistic, even dangerous, depictions of S&M really piss me off.

well anyone with two brains hopefully wouldn't enter into a BDSM relationship without knowing the person and getting a feel for their local scene first. but clamps, fisting and sodomy aren't horrible or inaccurate portrayals of what can happen in a vanilla relationship, let alone a kinky one

I'm well aware of that, I was speaking of broader things and problems with the books.


anal has, for some, turned it being so routine it's not even kinky anymore. nipple claps aren't either for most. the other claps and restrains vary. tying someone up isn't viewed as terribly kinky, unless it's full on gear. There are a lot of things that people do without thinking of them as being remotely kinky. But and maybe I just had good people around me, a lot of the S&M stuff is or can be tied to other things, and the mental and emotional component shouldn't be ignored because it can be really damaging when it is. Everyone is wired differently, sure, both mentally and sexually, but there are so many things coming out about these books that I've seen elsewhere that just really bother me because it's such a bad portrayal of S&M not only on the sex levels, since all the sex scenes are rather unrealistic, but the mental and emotional ones as well. He's too unhinged to me, knowing he's not real but knowing how people can misuse info (the pagan community still bitches to a degree about The Craft, at least from what I've seen) to ever be a Dom. yeah it's on them, as it always is on people who are kinda dumb and don't explore and research, but it bothers me more on the mental and emotional levels than the sex itself, but I can't separate how the sex is tied into it because of how it's done in these books.

But then tbh, minus the S&M stuff that is kinda pissing off most of the community, I'm getting tired of abusive assholes as being seen as romantic, and worth putting up with for their ~love~. I mean have these writers ever had a health relationship?

So yeah, my issues are far beyond woo they had anal and fisted.

i think it also makes it seem like an S&M relationship is about abusive, unhealthy emotional control when it really is about love
fuckyess 7th-May-2012 09:53 am (UTC)
um, wat

most people don't have two brains
celtic_thistle 5th-May-2012 08:36 pm (UTC)
Same here. I was reading all the Amazon reviews from idiotic hausfraus who think the book is a ~good portrayal~ of BDSM and I'm like NO IT ISN'T GET THE FUCK OUT NOW
numbedtoe 5th-May-2012 08:46 pm (UTC)
I think you and I have had this talk before, since hell we've both been here for years, but I'm also so angry and tired over the abusive asshole being ~worth~ putting up with in exchange for his ~love~. It makes me wonder if some of these authors have ever had a healthy relationship.

I love cheesy romance novels now and then. I can handle the over the top she came ten times sex scenes vs the guy is such a total and unrelenting dick. I can deal with both sexes having an attack of the asshole for a moment of angst or will they won't they, but any male character treating the woman like shit over and over and over and over again to the point where I want to scream at her, get the hell out, IDC what he looks like, how rich he is or whatever, is such a turn off and I'm done with authors when they do that. Oddly the biggest offender I've ever seen rarely gets called out on it, in the general romance genre.

But Chris Grey if he were really, would be a dangerous damn person and in no position to be a Dom. None. And no sub should hand over all power and be in a basically powerless relationship their first BDSM relationship. Cause there are a few, male and female who want the more extreme side. Going into that first go? such a bad idea.

BDSM done right has more talking involved than any sexual relationship the average person could have. The mental and emotional are so tied to it and have to be respected and taken care of in addition to whatever sexual desires both parties are wanting to fulfill. But then real life polys vs portrayal will tell you they spend more time talking to each other and take care of each other's emotional needs than they do fucking like it's a roman orgy.

God, tell me about it. Christian Grey has no personality other than being incredibly fucked-up, controlling, and, lbr, abusive. It's Edward Cullen all over again (obviously) I'm sick of it, and I am sick to DEATH of women being told that it's the height of romance to have some douchebag controlling your every move because he ~loves~ you and omg if he's fucked up, you can fix him!

NO. NO YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T FIX AN ABUSIVE ASSWIPE.

And I know, the whole mess is SUCH a bad portrayal of BDSM. I've never personally been in a relationship like that but I know a bit about it and even I can say that this bullshit is not AT ALL what it's about. The whole thing is beyond ludicrous and tbh it makes me REALLY mad to contemplate the effects and implications of its popularity.

Practising BDSM is illegal in most countries anyway, but not in the USA. Time will tell...it doesn't stop people from partaking even when it is illegal
ohbubbajoan 5th-May-2012 10:07 pm (UTC)
seriously, not even the misogyny bullshit can make my blood boil like this butchered depictions of S&M, maybe because i see people like "oh so that is how BDSM works" and ISKGHSOG NO THAT IS NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS THE "BDSM" HERE IS JUST A EXCUSE TO LAME SHIT SMUT. I just need step away of this book because makes me want to cry tbh

But Sir," I exclaim. "I'm still a virgin, so I will have to draw the line at fisting."
