Are you serious? First of all, what 21 year old virgin would have multiple orgasms from the get-go? And what self-respecting and intelligent young girl (that she is made out to be) would reduce herself to that level?
E. L. James, the author of Fifty Shades of Grey, says the book is her fantasy on paper. She says she wrote with the intention of living out her mid-life crisis through her characters. Excuse me? I think the greater crisis is that she feels women fantasize about being treated like sex slaves. I wonder how she’d feel if it really was happening to her? Or is the ‘fact’ that Christian Grey has more money than God, looks and smells nice, I mean hot, and is a philanthropist with his money supposed to make it all better?
Yes, Fifty Shades of Grey has sold millions. And yes, there are those who think it’s fabulous…a great read…a real romance. But then those are the same people who don’t know who Emerson is, who have no idea who or what the Annabelle Lee is and if asked to name a classic would say, ‘ a ’66 mustang’.
Fifty Shades of Grey, some might say, is just another piece of pop culture. That may be. But with several tens of thousands of young women being forced into sexual slavery in this country alone each year, and with who knows how many rapes are taking place each and every day, don’t you think we should be giving our young people a more respectful view of love and sex?
