50 Shades of Grey has become a unique phenomenon. These books and movies managed to bring an R-rated story to the mainstream. It is a rare achievement for any work, even in the modern times of freedom and better acceptance of everything sexual.

Though we live in the 21st century, where we are encouraged to be open about our sexuality and personality traits, finally, we are still learning to be free and accept others as they are. Promoting anything sexual is a tricky business that can easily be a shameful failure or a complete success.

What's in Erotics?

Erotic fiction has been around for longer than we all believe. Can you imagine a proper Victorian lady reading something like 50 Shades of Grey? Because she was not the first one to do so! The history of erotic fiction goes back to the B.C. time of ancient Greece and Rome, whose cornucopia of erotic poems can make even a modern woman blush. The same can be said about other forms of art. As soon as people learned to paint, they started depicting sexual scenes. Did you know that among the first photographs taken, many were sexual?

Expressing your carnal desires in the form of art is something uniquely human. 50 Shades of Grey just managed to make it go viral. With her books, E. L. James gathered a vast audience. Its foundation came from another fandom, Twilight, as the story was initially its fan fiction. Later, word of mouth made those who've missed on books, see the movies. And now, where at this 50 Shades of Grey quiz to become closer to Mr. Grey as well!

The Allure of Mr. Grey

So, why is the story of Anna and Mr. Grey so popular? What's so great about their relationship? Because it is far from ideal and comes with challenges.

The popularity of the series lies in the carnal desires Mr. Grey embodies. This is partially the story of a Cinderella who's managed to get herself a modern prince - rich, successful, desirable, and the perfect gentlemen in public. And yet, many women do not like their partners being such gentlemen in bed. And that's precisely how Christian is.

Here comes a huge generalization that should be taken with a grain of salt - women are more inclined to take a passive role in sexual relationships than men. In reality, women's relation to the positions of submissiveness and dominance in bed are more complex than experienced by men, Psychology Today reveals.

The anecdotal evidence highlights that the dominant male role prevails in modern fiction, fan-based, and published works. This author offers women a chance to read about the fantasies that many women do not willingly admit. 50 Shades BDSM themes may be a secret fantasy for many women. Though the author is not an expert herself, she offers an outlet for those interested in the topic but shy.

All in all, whether you are a fan of the series or not, we recommend consulting reputable BDSM sources to combine the story with a more realistic picture for a clear image of the practice. Then you can teach your "Mr. Grey" a few things yourself!
