Hey
Hey there all!
Sorry I haven't been around all that much, but been a tad buzy in real life. Been dealing with a spider bite on the wife and getting cats taken care of. Also been dealing with the fuck machine, though it is almost finished and will be posting about it soon.
I just wanted to make a quick note about something I saw on here: Someone made a podcast about 50 Shades of Grey.
Now I think it is great that someone should be talking about BDSM in literature. There are many great books on the subject and to get those books to the forefront is a wonderful idea!
The problem is: The 50 Shades books are not the best idea to holding up and say "Read this if you want to understand how BDSM works"
50 Shades is a badly written, poorly edited, pile of tripe that started off as Twilight fanfic.
The best thing it has going for it was it come out in a marginally good time with some good marketing. That's it. It gives a bad narrative to some kinky stuff, but largely it casts a bad reflection on the lifestyle and we, as a group, have to deal with the stupid ideas those crappy books represent.
Now I have not listened to the podcast. However, I encourage others to do so and then form your own opinion on the subject.
