What exactly is BDSM? It is bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism. It is a type of sexual; expression which requires the total submission of one individual who agrees to fantasy role-play, the making use of restraints and intense sensory stimulation. This process includes a lot of activities and is a diverse subculture which enables the forming of personal relationships.

In a nutshell bondage is the physical use of locks, straps, chains or even a simple rope to physically restrain your partner. The discipline is to do all that within the rules that are established. Sadism refers to those people who enjoy giving sexual favors along with psychological and physical pain. The masochist is the opposite of this. In “Fifty Shades Of Grey” the male character Grey if the dominant sadist while Anastasia is the submissive participant (or at least trying to be).

Typically BDSM relationships involve persons who have complementary yet not necessarily equal roles. As such before anything is done it is essential that both people are in full agreement with precisely what is to take place. There are those who delight in being controlled and those are referred to as submissives or bottoms. Those who don’t mind playing both roles are referred to as switches and those who prefer to be in control are referred to as dominant or top.

With “Fifty Shades Of Grey” persons get an insight into that world. It sheds light on the fact that there are rules to this love play and it is not just the infliction of pain for the sake of it. A common belief is that the submissives in BDSM relationships are mindless drones that will do anything to get some love no matter how perverse. That is not the case.

The thing that happens is that most novels tend to be fashioned that way to please the reader, as that is what they are expecting from it.

A look at “Fifty Shades Of Grey” can show you that Anastasia is a woman who is able to process her own thoughts and feelings and is hindered by her own inhibitions and lack of sexual experiences.

In bondage one partner has to be submissive and fulfill the others desires. The use of cuffs, spankers, collars and tethers all come into play especially in the early stages where they are learning to get used to letting go of what society deems as normal sexual relations.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is an erotic novel penned by British author E. L. James that is full of eroticism and bondage. Set in Seattle, the first book in the trilogy follows the progression of the relationship between the main characters and billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele.

If this book were ever to become a movie, which it no doubt will in the not so far future it would go up against the bondage movies such as “The Story of O” and “Black Snake Moan.” In “50 shades of Grey” the submissive Steele has to sign a contract prepared by Grey which gives him autonomous control over her. In addition to that she also had to sign a non disclosure agreement. When Grey finds out that she is a virgin, he has sex with her to prepare her for what is to come upon her signing of the contracts. As the plot develops she learns the way his mind works and how he views the use of bondage, domination and sadism. “The Secretary” a film from 2002 has a somewhat similar plot with the female character learning about BDSM from her male counterpart.

“Fifty Shades of Grey”finds Anastasia struggling with her inner thoughts of how she has to transition from not having sex to being a sex slave to this man who she is so intrigued with.

The plot unfolds to show how she gets sucked into Grey’s world. She, as a novice to the ways of love is pulled into the world of BDSM which is what Grey likes. He is without a doubt obsessed with being in control.

“50 Shades Of Grey” is quite candid and the sequences are extremely vivid as the plot goes on to show why Grey is like this in the first place and how Anastasia feels about what she has to do in submission.

Grey is a very strong character in the novel and the only woman that can last with him is one who is just as kinky and in this case the na?ve Anastasia could in fact be the one. Though she is confused as a beginner to all these sexual experiences she somehow does not mind what Grey wants to do with her.

Despite all the criticisms as to the floe of the story and the development of the characters and the insinuation that the novel must have been penned by a sex crazed teenager, “Fifty Shades of Grey” is holding its own at the top of the best seller list and is racking up large sales on Amazon.

James is a writer based in London and her writing style is relatively simple. The book is a great opportunity for those who are new to the world of bondage to get a taste of it from her writing. The scenes are very graphic especially when it comes to the encounters between Grey and Anastasia.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” is great for a weekend read. You just have to be aware that you will have to be prepared for the graphic details.

The novel has not only attracted the attention of the avid readers worldwide but other entities as “50 Shades Of Grey” has copped the award for best romantic novel. Reading it is the best way to find out what it really is about.
