I'm seeing my mate in London later today. It's his 50th Birthday and his surname is Gray so I decided to give him a certain book as a present (probably along with everyone else). :laugh:
I forgot to say the present was well received (sort off) and later provided a source of entertainment where people would open it to a random page trying to find one that was free of poorly written soft porn. We failed. :laugh:

Somewhat of topic here, but related. With the apparent increase of S&M, bondage and sex slavery that this book deals with (as I understand it), it seems that courts are now having to consider where you draw the line between assault and consensual sex games.

This case in Missouri is an example where an abuser is claiming that the abuse was consensual.

It's certainly an interesting question if people are going to practice such things. When does it cease to be fun and turn into abuse? And if a partner says "stop", what happens if the other person doesn't? o_O

From the Comments section of that article:

The young woman went to a hospital in 2009 with bad injuries. She was 23 then, so this began in 2002 when she was FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN! Still think this is a simple privacy matter?


I take back my previous post. :eek:

This is the most recent Tweet from 50 Sheds on Twitter.

Fifty Sheds of Grey ‏@50ShedsofGrey

I found her lying naked on the shed floor, covered in rose petals. 'What do you think?' she purred. 'Not sure,' I said, 'Could be greenfly.'

I opened the shed door to find her lying naked on my workbench covered in brightly-coloured lumps of putty. She was a play-doh masochist.
