Silly Grumbles. You actually expect the people who've made this particular piece of dreck so popular to make a an effort to find out what real BDSM actually looks like?

I read that a lot of people are buying the book to see how bad it is then returning it so the actual numbers are off. Not sure the percentage of returns on the book, but apparently it's high enough to be noticable percentage.

Real men only dress up and wear make-up for sports!

What about drinking beer with coworkers?

Actually change bookstore to cinema for the latest film or gameshop for the latest video game and it's prolly just as common.

Actually having a BDSM fetish might be important...

Maybe in a year or so.

After the movie is made.

Oh that thing is gonna bomb so hard, I mean you can't get around that a good 3rd of the book is the two (and I use the term really loosely) protagonists fucking in increasing daft ass ways.

Maybe the worst book ever will be the basis for the BEST PORN EVER!

Get real, Mikey. Certain endeavors are just doomed to failure from the moment they're conceived. Like New Coke, the XFL, and Adlai Stevenson's 1952 presidential campaign, the movie adaptation of "50 Shades Of Grey" will inevitably crash and burn; if it gets more than two stars from any film critic who isn't comatose or secretly reading "Grey" themselves, you can take that as a sign the End of Days is approaching.

Cigarette, you mean. Or is the post-coital smoke not a thing in 'murrica?

Pro quid, pro quo.

I reckon mikey'll probably take up drinking after they're done.

In the longest time, there hasn't been anything on this site that caused me to gag.

Then I got an image in my head of Nick Cage and Miranda Cosgrove engaging in steamy, wall thumping, BDSM coitus.

PICTURE IT

Thank you.

No. I like being able to sleep at night.

I don't know what's more astonishing:

The fact this is considered news

or

the fact Chris started a thread that's taken seriously by everyone.

That's more a casual thing. Light make-up and a nice pair of slacks and shirt.

I'm sorry, but where do you people live where guys wear make up before getting hammered?

For what it's worth, it makes sense cognitively. If not emotionally. But it only makes sense if those are people who've never googled porn in their lives or only do it in secret, mortified by the idea that someone will find out.

I'm confused. Isn't looking at porn something you usually do alone? Isn't it all kinda taboo and secretive?

Jay/Cris wrote:

Yes, but -at least for me- so is going to the bathroom, and I don't go around whispering behind my hand about how this one time, I peed.

My point is that "things I prefer to do alone" isn't automatically the same as "things I'd never admit to". I mean, come on, the people going to a mainstream movie for the sex (let's face it, even if it has sex in it it won't be that much and there's no way it'll be graphic) are unlikely to be the same group as those who watch actual graphic sex online.


Also, I have, in fact, watched porn together with the boyfriend.

Also also, apparently in the Army people are comfortable enough to pull out beastiality porn and go, hey, you guys wanna watch this?!

So really, you just haven't met the right person/people to do that with, is all.

Okay, true. Still, I don't think you step into watching Jocks and Cocks the same way as you step into Step Up 4. But okay, so you watch porn either to masturbate or as foreplay.

Is this you telling me I should join the army?

Huh.

I always wondered what the German army had been doing since The War. Now I know.

ON TO THE NEXT GREAT MYSTERY

Dunno. If they bring out dog-on-woman and there is zero physical interaction between the guys watching it, I have a feeling it's not going to be your thing.

You wish. Americans, the lot of them.
