50 Shades documentary...

Mistress R and I watched a documentary we recorded about the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon this afternoon. As I said before, I haven't read it and have no intention of doing so. The author is rather endearing actually, sounds like so far she's taking all the success and money in her stride and not trying to present herself as anything she's not. Good luck to her, I hope she enjoys every penny and why shouldn't she.
It was interesting to get a wider perspective on it, and nice to see a proper BDSM couple interviewed and treated respectfully instead of being held up as 'real life freakoids' who really do this weird stuff! They seem genuinely happy in what they are doing and quite brave really to go on TV and expose themselves to ridicule from idiots. Of course there were also pieces from a male and female professional Domme, thankfully kept to a minimum.
 From what was said I'm still massively confused since the books seemingly simultaneously present massively perverted acts like anal fisting, while at the same time omit any 'scary' words. Is there really no 'cock, cunt or cum' in the books at all?
See this is what I don't get really, on the one hand it's described as Mills and Boon with cuffs and on the other it's portrayed as 'rape fantasies' for yummy-mummies.
Actually what really amazed me was the section on the effect it has had on sex toy sales at Ann Summers, 800% in some places. I can't help wondering though, how many people have bought nipple clamps tried them once and thought, 'Nope, not doing that again!'

I've read on another blog what a sack of shit this documentary is, but it is quite entertaining, so here's a link, you can make up your own minds.
