I heard this morning an ad on the radio for a 50 shades themed teddy bear. It was being suggested for valentines day. It comes with accessories.

Because you KNOW you want a teddy bear with handcuffs. That shit ain't creepy at ALL. (meshaliuknits)

Yeah... my mother may or may not have one (hers is probably 15-20 years old though).  How is that for information that you never ever wish you had?

So, the study is basically this woman's opinion? She doesn't know if the women she studied had the behaviors before or after reading the book? How did she figure out how that women who read the book are more likely to have five sex partners over their lifetime? Don't you need to, you know, study them over their lifetime to reach that conclusion? What a bunch of bullshit!

I also had a fundie article pop up in my feed, but it focused on the evils of normalizing sexual violence and unhealthy relationships.

This is exactly why I didn't read the books!  My MIL and step-mil both raved about them.  Ew!!

Correlation does not imply causation.

Though I'll admit, it probably does lead to bad habits. Like reading other poorly written garbage.

This one won't just kill you dead. It's gonna film itself torturing you before it kills you.

I'm SCREWED.  (lols, Or I was at least.)

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Unhealthy behaviors= reading a fictionalized story of control and abuse masquerading as sexy sexy bdsm? I'll agree with that.

Find some actually kinky, feminist, sex-positive erotica. That's much healthier.
