50 SHADES OF CONSENT BY KAYLA
Over 150 million copies sold...
50 Shades of Grey campaign slogan
E.L James expresses her sexual desires in the erotic Twilight ibook 50 Shades of Grey where it portrays Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) who expresses his pleasures through bondage sex on his subject Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). Although I did not read the book, I did see the movie which is a "very lowkey version of the book", as people in the audience were describing throughout the movie and yes, it was slightly annoying hearing people whine about "not paying $14.50 to see a softcore porno"

Despite the likings of the book and movie... Many reviewers have said the movie glamorizes abuse and is a prime example of an abusive relationship. I highly, highly disagree and believe it was 100% not abusive. Here's why:
• Outside the bedroom, Grey was very caring towards Steele and only made her feel happy.
• Steele wanted to make a relationship out of the "sub-dom" partnership and Grey was fully okay with that.
• Steele was fully aware of the contract and never signed it, she was okay with what was to come out of it anyway.
• Grey always asked if Steele was "okay" with what he was going to do to her. He never did anything she didn't want. If he did something without asking first, she had already initiated that she wanted it.
"It definitely had some steamy moments for sure, but I thought it was going to be a little raunchier."
So, I can't possibly see the issue in any of it. Towards the end, Steele did become fed up with Grey's façade and wanted out, but Grey let her walk out. He did try to stop her because he was indefinitely falling for her like in every romance novel, but when Steele didn't want him to follow her, he respected her,

that is until 50 Shades Darker.
Personally, this movie wasn't even that sexy to me. I found it pretty awkward how Grey approached things and how Steele responded to it. It was actually kind of funny how awkward it was. Overall, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars and that it is definitely more appropriate for a more mature audience. Hopefully this may spark some future movie - VICTORIA JUSTICE, E!ONLINE
ideas for the After series by Anna Todd *wink* *wink*.
