I have not read the book or the film and many people are talking about the film now but before that a few of my friends were talking about the book and when they were saying 50 shades of grey I had no idea it was 50 ways to have sex, I thought it was a personality book like measuring your mood what personality you have, that's how interested I was with what they were saying but when the film came out is when I realised or its a sex book then and therefore its about abuse on a woman and she wants to feel these things.
In the UK there is a famous song by Annie Lennox "Sweet dreams are made of this, I've travelled around the world and some of them want to abuse you and some of them want to be abused" ...and this got me thinking about western and eastern culture, its true we always say in our eastern culture a wife that is taking abuse from her husband and giving excuses for him, they seem to be accepting this life of abuse, I don't matter, as long as everything else is fine at home, kids have everything I need, even him my abuser everything is fine for him. We can say she wants the abuse, because to unsettle the home and make her kids and husband unhappy for her self esteem is alien and wrong for her, so she is happy being abused and her abuser happy.
I will hazard a guess into western culture now and say the book is about people who want to feel something new I think the people that want to be abused in sexual encounters are over curious sort of people that want to feel what its like to be strangled by your boyfriend,when having sex, or dress up like a baby and have a woman breastfeed them, be spanked by a woman or man, tied up and have their freedoms taken from them and not know what will happen next just for the hell of it, it makes them feel something new in life and maybe feel alive.
Now i'm saying all these things because I've thought why are they doing these things, but it doesn't mean I will do that, the risks are too high, life is too good to be risking yourself in strangulation etc, I don't know if I could be a dominatrix maybe I don't know...lol.
The answer to your question is it right to promote Fifty Shades of Grey in any part of the world, I think sex sells, a lot of people are flocking to see Ekta Kapoor film Love, Sex and Dokha remember too many people were interested, what about the Dirty Picture same, Ragini MMS all the Sunny Leone films made in Bollywood are hits, we see in India a lot of films even right now on India Forums Radhika Apte's Hunter she has an article saying the same, so filmmakers knowing sex sells in India, they can try to make these films for that market but I feel with the rape problems there, it was right not to show, the minds of the people committing the rapes might in their skewed way think all women want this abuse in sexual encounters with men, but they already think that anyway that's why they are raping, but better not to encourage them. I am not interested to see the film even though it was shown here in my country, but I'm in the minority I have no doubt the film is a success because the majority of people want to see this film. Maybe as the risks to hand over power of yourself to man is so risky you live through this fantasy only in a film is the reason maybe.
