In a voice-over in the trailer, Christian Grey warns Ana, "I am incapable of leaving you alone. Again, he warns her, "You should steer clear of me. With a stalker and a batterer? Do we really want our sons to become Christian Greys, practicing a violent masculinity that degrades men as well? To contact us or to submit an article, click here. I revolt against this mentality with all my heart, because I know full well that the answer is not — and can never be- found in sex, in romance, or in relationships of any form- because the Answer is found in nothing short of Love.
And while the TRASH of this world may offer some temporary relief, it will never leave us feeling fulfilled, whole, and satisfied. I am thankful for a God who has provided the answers to fulfill my deepest needs, heal my deepest wounds, and satisfy my greatest longings. I am thankful for a God who offers to fill us with His living water, and fill us to overflowing.

Because it presents a one-dimensional, cheap, and superficial view of sex rather than seeing sex as valuable, deep and meaningful. That is not at all how it works. The scene is built around the submissive. They say stop, and you stop. The trouble with Fifty Shades is that then you get people believing that how Christian Grey does it is how it is supposed to work.
There are some people who do get involved in BDSM scenes because they are inclined to abuse others. That worked out well because it is a fictional novel.
There are plenty of unrealistic books out there. This question originally appeared on Quora - the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
More questions:. Fifty Shades places the issue of consent prime and center and sparks off discussions across the globe about what is an abusive relationship. Let's face it, Hollywood is not a great teacher when it comes love. There's Dirty Dancing , which romanticizes a relationship between a naive 16 year old and a 25 year old man of the world, Grease where a high school student is taught that in order to get her man, she must learn to smoke and fuck in black leather, Love Actually - chock full of cheaters, a woman who gets fired because her boss is attracted to her, and another who prefers to stay by the side of her mentally ill brother instead of getting a life of her own.
Then there's Pretty Woman featuring a woman who demands permanent commitment after one week of living the dream because she wants 'the fairy tale' and High Fidelity where we are supposed to sympathize with the protagonist who has treated his girlfriend like shit but who still ends up getting her back because she's 'too tired of missing him'. And yet these movies are billed as the top romantic comedies of all time.
Abuse, low self-esteem and coercion pass under the radar and seep into our subconscious as what we should also expect in the films of our lives. The ones which need proper review are those which remain unquestioned, not the ones like Fifty Shades who expose pain, control and abuse for us all to examine.
The world has jumped on the bandwagon of criticizing this 'rom-com' because it contains a false depiction of BDSM It's our own sex negative prejudice which makes us shout so loud about this so-called 'abuse'.
To my mind the world needs movies like Fifty Shades because they create necessary discussions and maybe more excitement in the bedroom. But these discussions are necessary for so many more movies which don't use BDSM as a vehicle for depicting abuse. In fact the real discussion to be had is why we only associate abuse with whips and handcuffs and literally don't see it - going so far as to glorify it - when it isn't.
