On valentines day my wife and I watched Fifty Shades of Grey (her choice), and the male character gave a great example of somebody turning left. A billionaire by the age of 27 years of age and a love life revolving around BDSM interests.
He was the child of a drug addicted mother and had been abused by her boyfriend. She died when he was 4 years old and was adopted by a loving and wealthy family. I was captivated by the story! It had some psychological depth to it and I would call it a grown up and realistic romance (no wonder it was a hit with the ladies!). During the week just past I discovered that the sequel was out at the cinema, and so I booked us 2 tickets to see Fifty Shades Darker, which we watched last night.
Oh my, the parallels I found in this film relating to my wife and I could send this thread into it's second page! (and I think many, many couples, in truth could say something similar)
Anyway, the point is that this is a great film to watch if you identify as STO, yet are curios as to why others identify as STS. And I think that is why some of us are intrigued, because we all have that devilish, cunning and exploitative nature within us, on some level.
As an aside, had I seen this film before actually coming across the BDSM thread on our forum, I would have recognised my own sexually repressed parts and saved myself the embarrassment of dogmafying (my word) the LOO material in that thread.
