***IF YOU LIKED 50 SHADES, TRY THESE BDSM EROTICAS!***
Story of the Eye by Bataille
The Leather Daddy and the Femme by Carol Queen
Macho Sluts by Patrick Califia
The Story of O by Pauline Reage
The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice (haven't read this one – heard it's intense)
***VIDEO SUMMARY***
In this video, I give a few of the thoughts I have about the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. I begin by acknowledging my excitement that the mainstream is reading erotica. I think this is a positive move for a more sex positive culture. I then break the video down into 3 general critiques of the book's success as a BDSM erotica. My first critique is the unfortunate perpetuation of stereotypes about BDSM. I argue that the book's sex practices are made more palatable for the general public because of the fact that Ana is saving Christian from BDSM. My second critique covers the handling of consent in the books. Consent is a cornerstone of safe BDSM practice, and without it, the practice is abuse. My third critique covers the nature of the Dom/Sub relationship and how Christian Grey fails as a dom. I argue that he exhibits the same abusive tendencies as Edward Cullen and does not, as a character, seem mature enough to practice BDSM. I close by offering alternative guides to BDSM as well as alternative erotica.
