When 50 shades was the rage a year or more ago I would see plenty of women from late teens to middle age engrossed in it on the subway or in coffee shops. I’m no prude but you figure there would be some discretion but no, it was so popular it became a sign of hipness.

Fat shaming is fun is it?

Suspect you’re right. It’s fantasy for most people with a few acting it out.
Seems like every few years one of these fantasies makes the rounds of the best-seller list and suburban night stands with a new generation.
" If S&M Is Going Mainstream, Why Are Lawmakers Banning It?"
Because they have to pay to get any, even from their wives.
Ditto. Sex, at least for everyone ELSE, is permissible only after you’re married. It’s solely for procreative purposes and may only be performed in the approved fashion, as quickly and clinically as possible.
And guys, I know you need to have an orgasm, but try not to enjoy it…

BSDM is now officially boring. Like it always was.

@The_Lone_Apple certainly touched on this, but it’s worth noting that any author who deputizes 50 Shades of Grey into their argument and then fails to mention that the kink community are the most vocal advocates against the series isn’t doing their job. 50 Shades of Grey is unequivocally not about BDSM or kink; it’s a dreadfully written piece of former fanfiction originally based on an equally appalling and even worse-written series of stunningly retrogressive anti-feminist inanity, and it tells the story of a consent-violating sexual predator and his Stockholm-syndrome suffering victim.

Acquire a pair of inexpensive sunglasses, glue snapshots of yourself to the insides of the lenses, and put them on.
Since you are so self-obsessed that you are convinced that the world owes you protection from the very thought of people who you don’t want to fuck having libidos, I’m sure that your vista of the Sexiest Human Being Alive will enliven your commute.

Thanks for saying this so I didn’t have to.

Oh, SNAP! Or maybe a woman who conspicuously reads pain-porn in public is looking for just the reaction I had. I reacted in a way that caused no harm, and–who knows?–maybe even enriched her fantasy of being silently humiliated for her sexuality by a stranger.
If a fat guy with a combover and sweatpants starts thumbing through Hustler on the 5:45 in the seat next to you, do you give him a big thumbs up for celebrating his sexuality shamelessly?

You were exposed to a PICTURE OF A NECKTIE, and you are still spinning elaborate fantasies about how this was done specifically to traumatize you. I appear to have underestimated the degree of your narcissism in my previous remark.

What disgusts me to no end is the thought that anyone who has nothing to do with me intrudes upon my sexuality or even comments on it. Can’t people mind their own god damned business?

I don’t know what the confusion is about. Almost guaranteed, the lawmakers are participating in their kinky private lifestyles, of whatever flavor… these are people given to controlling others and with a lust for power. If their kink goes mainstream, where’s the fun in that? Make it illegal and they have their icing and the cake too.
As Tower of Power said, “Its not the deed, its not the thought… its if you get caught.”

The image of Tina Fey all trussed-up in hooker gear in “Date Night” comes to mind.
It’s not something that appeals to most people and, I believe, not the vast majority of women (I think it’s documented somewhere on the Internet(s) that only three men read the books) either. If nothing else, most of us are just too busy and want to spend our money on something a bit more useful than “floggers.”

Thanks for the New Yorker suggestion…hysterically funny!
