Thanks for your reviews that made the whole thing more bearable! But I really disagree on it being Ana's fault in the end. She's totally inexperienced and had no idea how bad it would get. I also thought the 'top' had to watch out for the 'bottom' because this sort of activity can lead to being in altered states, not being able to signal 'stop', etc? That consent was an active process, and that when pushing limits the top has to check in? Especially since he's the one with 15 subs worth of experience! He tells her he like to dominate and was into D/s, he never told her he was into S/M as well, how was she supposed to know he was also a sadist when he always disguised it as dominance? <br />And even if she didn't safe word (and isn't that moot, at this point, because they have never agreed that 'no'/'stop' doesn't mean 'no'/'stop', so the safe word wouldn't be really necessary?) she would still totally be within her rights to leave afterwards and to decide it's not for her. As I recall, it's not the act itself, but the realization that he's a sadist that gets her to leave?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-75562601956833151872015-01-30T06:47:54.861-06:002015-01-30T06:47:54.861-06:00"Never fucking use "sexual congress"..."Never fucking use "sexual congress" in a sentence again unless you're being facetious or my antler and I will find you."<br /><br />~LMAO there it is again! :)<br /><br />"...she less than threes him 4EVA."<br /><br />~I see what you did there.

It is plain offensive that she would take what is a real BDSM practice and decide that makes Christian a "sick monster," and that the author would put this in as a legitimate, reasonable response to that scenario.<br /><br />"I have...glimpsed the extent of his depravity, and I know now he's not capable of love." <br />I was more deeply offended by this line. In light of this set of statements, getting BDSM more into the mainstream was nowhere near fucking worth this book. That's just ludicrous and I cannot believe anyone on the planet champions this as a step forward for the BDSM community. I hated this book before I read this blog because I knew what it would contain, but I was in no way prepared for this. All internet exaggeration aside, I'm honestly questioning if I could have a civil conversation with the woman who wrote this book- and that is a fucking feat.<br /><br />In the beginning, I was just looking for some laughs and to privately ridicule a book I was certain would be silly, poorly-written, and ignorant. But that last bit was in no way amusing. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but that was completely unacceptable on the author's part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-3700883917869724522013-03-29T04:58:34.474-05:002013-03-29T04:58:34.474-05:00I'm so happy 50 shades of Grey exists, because...I'm so happy 50 shades of Grey exists, because otherwise I wouldn't have found this blog.<br />I REALLY didn't want to read the book, but a friend pestered me for months, and then literally put the book in my hands. <br /><br />Unfortunately, now I have lost all respect for this friend.

I've been deeply frustrated by the number of my friends who've been unable to recognise the abusive nature of the relationship described. This includes D/s friends who seem to think the popularity of the book will bring some sort of wider mainstream acceptance for BDSM. Huh? Wouldn't it take a book about BDSM to do that? Equally frustrating are those who acknowledge the abuse and equate it with BDSM :-(.<br /><br />I'm unsure if I will read your reviews of books 2 and 3, because frankly I don't give a toss about the characters. I do however admire your perseverance and resolve in your endeavour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-211626456840057242012-08-23T14:44:03.625-05:002012-08-23T14:44:03.625-05:00This has been the most amusing set of reviews I ha...This has been the most amusing set of reviews I have read in a long, long time.

I have no particular experience with the BDSM subculture or anything like that, but it's clear reading this that the book has done a horrific hatchet job on it. Despite not having experience of such things, I can well imagine that putting yourself in a vulnerable position with someone could enhance a relationship due to the level of trust it would require. It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to figure that out. The concept that pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin is also pretty easy to grasp. So really there is no excuse for this. I agree that the implication that this guy practices BDSM because he's incapable/feels undeserving of love is a total insult and completely ignorant. What on earth was this woman thinking? From everything you've quoted, it just seems like nothing more than her own juvenile fantasies, mixed up with a lot of unhealthy prejudice about things she doesn't understand.Steve Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-1534668356655953592012-07-31T12:37:44.959-05:002012-07-31T12:37:44.959-05:00Thank you for this.
