Positive 50 Shades Feedback
i have read the books (somewhat vanilla) and have seen the first two movies. I typically enjoy books far more. However when I had the opportunity to see the movie I was with a large group of friends male and female. It promoted much discussion and debate. This group was some of the most vanilla people you will ever meet. The movie most certainly interested them. They all have now read the series and although I only know a few personal details about there new experiences and explorations..... the books / movie has certainly created sexual curiosity amoung the group . Perhaps the younger generation (<35) is somewhat more free in their sexuality.... I feel this was geared to the 35-60 generation that grew up thinking homosexuality was a curse and free sexuality was even worse. I must say having my dark-side quietly fed (BDSM) it was relief to see my friends open up their minds enough to even discuss sexuall topics or different lifestyles. Some have experienced BDSM, two came out, and others have just lowered their mental guard to experiencing something new. Both sexually and spiritually. So I think, at least in my case, being part of this life we here have, we tend to be more open, more free and of course more demanding in our pursuit of pleasure. Other, more vanilla people, see it as edgy, crazy, and hedonistic....... but more importantly now ACCEPTABLE. So they are more tolerant and generally happier in their lives having changed their sometimes narrow outlooks. I find the added tolerance a GREAT THING.
