Of course I am definitely not one to steer away from erotica but have never been into romance novels. After all the books had been released and there was so still so much hype I decided, why not have a look and so I started reading.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For a virgin erotic romance author I believe E.L.James came up with a great concept, bringing a different sexual appetite to our minds and our bedrooms. I couldn\u2019t put the books down they were far more exciting than what I had expected. I was so pleased that I didn\u2019t have to wait for the next releases I could just continue all the way through. The suspense would have killed me.<\/p>\n<p>My already sexual imagination went into overdrive, I couldn\u2019t help but think about how the people who prefer the romance novels were going to react to such a different side to sex and sexuality. This was actually a turn on for me.<\/p>\n<p>When I found out that there was going to be a movie my first instinct was how were they going to be able to portray this erotic story and bring alive what my and every other readers imagination had envisioned. It was going to be a tough task.<\/p>\n<p>But I waited in anticipation for the release and finally the day arrived. To say I was very excited was an understatement. Even though there had been a few negative reviews in the media the day before, I just couldn\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is definitely a \u2018chic flick\u2019, man meets girl \u2013 girl meets man but with the obvious differences. I watched and felt it was almost like any other romance movie to a point. The guy is pursuing the girl and the girl falls for his attention, and then the games begin. It is just these games are a little kinkier and this makes it more exciting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The major exception is that we get to see what they get up to in-between the sheets, not that there are many sheets when they are having sex, and this is where the kinky side of the story comes in for the fans of Fifty Shades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/fifty-shades-of-grey.htm\">Whips, cuffs, silk ties<\/a>, ice cubes are just the teasing start to this sensually arousing tale. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/trilogy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-521\" alt=\"trilogy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/trilogy.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a>Every person will have their own image of what Christian and Anastasia look like but I was a little disappointed with Christian, to me he felt too soft. I didn\u2019t see any hard masculine domineering features to him at all. But this doesn\u2019t mean I didn\u2019t find him oddly attractive, especially in his \u2018red room of pain\u2019 jeans.<\/p>\n<p>Anastasia was exactly how I envisioned, an unassumingly attractive young college student that although intelligent has self confidence issues. A body that most women would kill for but what is with the pubic bush, a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=shavers\">trim<\/a> would have taken away that 1970\u2019s feel.<\/p>\n<p>The sex scenes were hot and very sensual and the S&amp;M scenes were very mild except for when Anastasia asks Christian to show her the worst of what he would like to do. This is the time a mixture of feelings come through. Remember she knew the safe word.<\/p>\n<p>It is a unique romance\/love\/erotic sex story but it\u2019s up to you how you want to take it. One with sexual gratification and innocents and if you haven\u2019t read the book you are not going to completely understand and you may have an extremely different opinion on the movie compared to someone who has read and enjoyed the book.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this is where some of the reviews calling it a form of domestic abuse\/violence are coming from. They don\u2019t know the whole story yet, and if they did they may change their view. To me, I watched two consensual adults who both had free will.<\/p>\n<p>What I am disappointed about the most is that, in my imagination it was hotter and sexier than it came across on the big screen. They should have left it at an R rating so that we would have more of the stimulation we received from reading the book. But nothing that they could put in a movie would be able to completely compare with our overactive imaginations. But great first try.<\/p>\n<p>First try, obviously means there is more to come. So my second disappointment is that the way it ended has now left me hanging. And now I have to wait for the next movie, they better not leave us waiting for too long.<\/p>\n<p>I give it 3 \u00bd stars<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-and-half-stars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-520 alignleft\" alt=\"3 and half stars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-and-half-stars.jpg\" width=\"132\" height=\"44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-and-half-stars.jpg 389w, https:\/\/www.femplay.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-and-half-stars-300x99.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 132px) 100vw, 132px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it came to the Fifty Shades novel phenomenon I wasn\u2019t really interested in reading the books.
