Analysis Of 50 Shades Of Grey

The literary phenomenon, 50 Shades of Grey has sold over 120 million copies worldwide and has even expanded to over 50 different languages. The ultimate question how has a book that is based on the idea of erotic sex become so popular in society today and how has it changed the world’s idea of sex? This literary phenomenon grew out of nowhere and I feel it has less to do with the books content and more to do with the fact that it is something new. It is something that everyone is talking about so people perhaps wanted to understand what all the fuss was about. The book in itself is poorly written however, I feel the book happened to be around at the correct moment in time. Seeing as it came to light after The Twilight Saga series generation

In addition, have them take you around in their fancy cars and helicopters and spank you with a belt and blindfold you when you never have been exposed to that kind of intimacy before. I admit it is very comforting and intimate to think about. However, we live in the real world and that doesn’t happen every day.

The funny thing is that it is working tie sales for men increased over 20% because of the

Yes and No this book can cause harm to women because perhaps it will lead them looking for the BDSM lifestyle that they truly don’t understand. This can cause possible harm and what not. Although if anything I believe it opens a door for women to understand they shouldn’t be afraid to explore their mental, physical, and sexual body so much so they can be the dominant and no longer feel they need to always take on the role of a submissive. The book 50 Shades of Grey even acknowledges that Christian Grey was submissive to his dominate Mrs. Robinson for years and that this is normal in the BDSM community. If anything this book has brought to light a new sexual practice and it will soon be something everyone can talk about freely without being subjected to ridicule. There has already been a dramatic change in the public’s eye about sex because of this book so much so that it has caused a new spark in the bedroom that, “hardware stores in NYC have seen an increase in rope sales over the past several months — and it 's not because men are suddenly conquering their to-do lists. Women are flocking to these stores to purchase rope, apparently because of the popularity of hit erotic novel” (Bost, 2012). Who knows what the future will hold and how society will handle the next movement on the sexuality of the human body. At the beginning it will be most likely be ridiculed by those afraid of
