Fifty Shades of Grey

Kinky sex. It’s happening all the time. Never has it been brought to the mainstream in the past few years as much as it has since Fifty Shades of Grey was first published in 2011. Millions of middle class white women (predominantly Mum’s) have rabidly absorbed the books since then. The movie rights were bought in 2012 and now three years later the first of a planned trilogy has been released into theatres worldwide. But some troubling questions remain. Is Fifty Shades of Grey a true depiction of BDSM? If it isn’t, is that dangerous to people exploring BDSM for the first time?
