What's a fantasy? From Freud to Ludacris, it has been an elusive idea, indicating both an escape from reality and an expression of hidden desire. In culture, dream works just like a mirror: It reflects that we are, but it also shapes what we become.
Love it or despise it, American culture's sexual fantasy of this second is Fifty Shades of Grey. Since Random House bought the rights to the trilogy in 2012, the series has sold well over 100 million copies globally. Trailers for the movie adaptation of the first publication have been viewed 250 million times, based on an ad aired in early February; it is predicted to gross at least million at the box office in its opening weekend.
And that means the Fifty Shades dream is about to become all the stronger. Yes, the narrative will likely reach a much bigger crowd, but more importantly, it will be told in a brand new, visual type. When the movie comes out, the Fifty Colours version of sexy, kinky sex will get explicit and exact, no more determined by the imaginations of readers. Early reports state the movie shows at least 20 full minutes of sex, though it's only rated R.
The story is fairly easy. Anastasia Steele, a middle-class senior at Washington State University Vancouver, matches Christian Grey, an incredibly handsome, debonair 27-year-old multi-millionaire CEO. They fall in love, tough and quick. Theirs is a love filled with drama and passion, and they wind up living the conventional American dream: love, union, and a child.
What's not so standard is their gender. Early on in the very first publication, Ana finds that Christian has a"dark secret": He's obsessed with BDSM--a condensed abbreviation for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism. This is the central tension of the novels: Ana loves Christian, but she doesn't need to become his submissive; Christian loves Ana, but he is turned on by violent sex.
As several experienced BDSM practitioners emphasized to mepersonally, there are healthful, ethical tactics to consensually combine sex and pain. All of these require self-knowledge, communication abilities, and psychological maturity to be able to make the sex safe and mutually pleasing. The issue is that Fifty Shades associates hot sex with violence, but without any of this context. Occasionally, Ana says yes to sex she's uncomfortable with because she's too shy to speak her mind, or because she is afraid of shedding Christian; she provides permission when he would like to inflict pain, yet that doesn't stop her from being harmed.
