The phenomenally successful \u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019 hits the silver screen this month, just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Words by Bel Booker<\/em><\/p>\n

Nothing says romance more than a bit of light bondage. This February the 14th<\/sup> you can take your lover to see the film adaptation of the bestselling erotic novel \u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019.<\/p>\n

Single? No problem. Consider this a gift to yourself. Calvin Klein underwear model Jamie Dornan \u2013 known as the \u2018golden torso\u2019 – plays the infamous billionaire Christian Grey, and will be getting his kit off for the delight of female viewers.<\/p>\n

Stepping into the role of na\u00efve student Anastasia Steele, meanwhile, is Dakota Johnson \u2013 daughter of famous parents Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.<\/p>\n

Author E. L. James, who served as both a writer and producer on the film project, has promised fans that the book\u2019s explicit sex scenes will not be watered down. Those who are easily embarrassed can pick up a Fifty Shades branded blindfold prior to viewing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fifty Shades takes the World by Storm <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019 broke records when it became the fastest selling paperback of all time. Now the trilogy, dubbed \u2018mummy porn\u2019 by the press, has sold more than 100 million<\/em> copies worldwide and been translated into 52\u00a0languages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A survey found that nearly half of women would rather read the kinky book than have sex themselves. So what makes it so popular?<\/p>\n

There have been many erotic books before, but none have featured a male lead character as charismatic, alluring and downright sexy as Christian Grey.<\/p>\n

Mr Grey has it all: he\u2019s filthy rich, devastatingly handsome, well educated and super ambitious. This is a man who knows exactly what he wants and just how to get it\u2026especially in the bedroom (with the help of a riding crop and some cable ties!). Another key factor to the book\u2019s appeal is Christian\u2019s pairing with the thoroughly innocent Anastasia. She may be 21, but \u2018Ana\u2019 has never been drunk, is still a virgin and has never even \u2018explored herself\u2019 down below. To predatory Christian, Ana is a lamb to the slaughter, but she\u2019s a feisty girl and does not easily submit to his will, further fuelling his passion.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fifty Shade of Grey\u2019 takes readers on a tantalising journey of sadomasochistic sexual discovery, but, handcuffs aside, it is also a classic love story. Although he is tortured by his dark desires, Christian\u2019s devotion to Ana is so strong that he is ultimately prepared to let her go. Show me a girl who could resist?<\/p>\n

5 Things You Should Know Before You See the Fifty Shades of Grey Movie<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It could spice up your sex life:<\/strong>A survey of married couples conducted in 2013 found two thirds of those who had read \u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019 were having better sex. Surprisingly, the racy novel had a greater effect on men than women, with 87% of men saying it had impacted on their lovemaking. Nearly 40 per cent had more foreplay, 38 per cent had more sex, 38 per cent bought sexy lingerie, 34 per cent talked more about desires and fantasies and 34 per cent introduced more sex toys into the bedroom.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 34 per cent of women who had read the book also reported a change in the bedroom, with 50 per cent having more sex, 43 per feeling more comfortable initiating sex and 31 per cent having more conversations about their fantasies and desires.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s got people hot under the collar: <\/strong>The Fifty Shades movie has some people all worked up, and not for the reasons you might think. Not all fans of the trilogy were happy with the casting. A petition was started asking for Christian and Anastasia to be played by Matt Bomer – known for his role in US police drama \u2018White Collar\u2019 – and Alexis Bledel, who rose to fame as Rory Gilmore in \u2018Gilmore Girls\u2019. The petition garnered more than 90,000 signatures but the film\u2019s producers refused to budge, stating: \u201cThere is a lot that goes into casting that isn’t just looks.\u201dThe controversy around the film continues, however, with another petition taking off calling for people to boycott it because of its themes of sexual violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle concern is being given to the influence that the positive and pornographic portrayal of sadism is having on teenagers and others,\u201d states the petition, which at the time of writing has 7,600 signatures. (To check figure closer to time of publication visit: www.lifesitenews.com\/petitions\/50-shades-boycott<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a recent study has concluded that reading the erotic novel could be bad for the health of young women. The study, reported in the \u2018Journal of Women\u2019s Health\u2019, found women are more likely to have sex with multiple partners, binge drink, suffer eating disorders and have a lover who verbally abuses them.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t get to see Mr Grey\u2019s \u201cconsiderable length\u201d: <\/strong>I\u2019m sorry to break it to you ladies, but Jamie Dornan will not be showing us all of his, erm, talents when he appears as Christian in the Fifty Shades movie. Despite the fact that Mr Grey\u2019s penis takes a central role in the book, the actor told \u2018The Guardian\u2019 it would not be making an appearance.
“There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn’t be seeing my, um…yeah, my todger,” he said. “You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out. You don’t want to make something gratuitous, and ugly, and graphic.”
Jamie added that he found filming the sex scenes decidedly unsexy: \u201cAnyone who thinks actors get turned on doing sex scenes in films is mistaken. There are dozens of hairy men standing around, moving cables and lighting equipment. That\u2019s not sexy unless you\u2019re into being watched, which I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n

You will<\/em> get to see Anastasia\u2019s \u201cinner goddess\u201d: <\/strong>Ok, to be honest, I\u2019m not exactly sure what her inner goddess is, but what I can tell you is that Dakota Johnson will be stripping off and she doesn\u2019t want her mum to see the movie. “I have not seen \u2018Fifty Shades of Grey\u2019<\/em>. I don’t think I’m going to see it,” mum Melanie Griffith revealed. “[Dakota] was like, ‘You guys cannot come. There’s no way.’ So we’re not going. I did go visit for a couple of days when they were shooting just normal stuff. I did see the Room of Pain\u2014I did go in there and check it out.”<\/p>\n

Someone who\u2019s not so shy is Beyonce \u2013 Queen B has recorded a song for the Fifty Shades soundtrack with a very raunchy video. The music video for \u2018Haunted\u2019 sees Beyonce writhing around on a bed in vampish underwear that does little to hide her modesty.<\/p>\n

The singer also recorded a breathy version of \u2018Crazy in Love\u2019 for the Fifty Shades trailer and, if that\u2019s anything to go by, it sounds like she really<\/em> enjoyed the movie!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can now live out your Fifty Shades fantasies in real life: <\/strong>Author E. L. James has put her name to an official range of Fifty Shades sex toys. Available from lovehoney.co.uk, the collection includes the legendary silver pleasure balls, handcuffs, blindfolds and whips featured in the erotic scenes as Christian and Ana experiment with dominance and submission.
\u201cI\u2019m so excited that the toys I described in the books have come to life and can now be enjoyed around the world,” says E. L. James.<\/p>\n

And you can take your role-play to a whole new level by booking in for a stay at Scottish hotel \u2018Nira Caledonia\u2019. The luxury hotel in Edinburgh has launched a \u2018Fifty Plaids of Wahay\u2019 package to celebrate the release of the film. The package includes two nights in a Jacuzzi suite, an aphrodisiacal meal, in-room couples’ massage\u00a0and a black box containing a feather tickler, fluffy handcuffs, and even strawberries dipped in chocolate. The deal is priced \u20ac1,255, but if, like Mr Grey, you have cash to splash, you can add on a champagne bath for \u20ac2,522 (niracaledonia.com).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
