Introduction
As an avid fetish connoisseur I tried hard to boycott the 50 Shades of Grey serious, both the books and the film.... but in my boredom last night I caved and watched the film.... to my surprise I rather enjoyed it. I find the BDSM worlds outrage at the hype caused by what drives Christian Grey's unique appetites to be a little over reacted. Watching the film got me thinking about my own appetites and what drives them and I will definitely need to pick up the novels as I much prefer reading and using my own imagination, though the film was done exceptionally well...

Yes I need to cave and watch as well...
kolorz:
I actually highly recommend doing so. I think the hype that it sets certain stereotypes about the "sort" of people who are into BDSM on any level were sexually abused in their childhood is completely unfounded... readers & viewers aren't given a clear answer to what makes Grey the way he is in the first installment... I'm probably going to pick up the book before Christmas just for a better answer.
