I kinda hate read it for a debate, and while I can't remember an accurate total of sex scenes, or page count, none of the sex went beyond light bondage. I think there are effectively 3 scenes of that, including the tie one. Even though Nymphomaniac is more like Von Trier's treatise on human relationships than erotica, a person who reads or watches 50 Shades probably wouldn't be able to handle something like it. Someone who likes stuff like Scandal, Gone Girl, or American Sniper, likely would though. I'm sure someone around here can give a more detailed account, but I'm not gonna read it again to be that person.

Since I can't read over what I type accurately, maybe I should read that book again.

It's a very pedestrian view of BDSM and it was of course written as a terrible Mary Sue fan-fiction by some socially broken author. To me, what I think is funny/awful about the whole 50 Shades thing is that the book basically has Mr. Grey effectively *forcing* the woman into the relationship in a very creepy, gross way.
Women keep painting the book as some kind of nonsensical feminist thing and I just don't understand how a book about a sexually inexperienced woman being berated and psychologically abused by a dominant male who thinks of her as a toy is somehow "liberating" in any way. Because a woman wrote it? Bullshit.
It's basically a modern re-writing/ripoff of The Story of O.

I haven't read it, but I've got the original fanfiction version on hand just in case I ever need to for some reason:

StanleyPain, all the femist-ish things I have read about it have totally shit on it for those very reasons. The woman is abused and miserable and the man is a crazy asshole and BDSM enthusiasts hate it. The book is clearly written by someone who doesn't know what she's writing about. It's basically what judgey sheltered mom-types think kinky people are like. This scene makes me wonder if the author has ever even had sex.

These stars are the only applause I can give you.

bravo, old bean.

This is why I always read the POE comments, and only read the Youtube comments when I'm looking for quotes from idiots to post here.

That comment was 10/10.

For you.

IT'S FUCKING GROSS REGARDLESS

Now Now. Orgasms can help menstrual cramps (or so I've been told).

I can't imagine someone so sheltered that they've never had sex when Aunt Flow was around unless the woman didn't feel like it. It's honestly not a big deal. It's some blood. Us guys get white sticky pregnancy gunk everywhere every time we cum. Why is a little blood so gross?

Cause it's full of decayed womb and it's blood from the fucking vagina dude. Are there a lot of girls that like guys to ejaculate rotten nutsack blood on their faces or up their pee-holes?

No, so fuck off.

Thank you for your piercing biological insights, Jonathan Swift.

let's face it the person you love is a smelly bag of nasty fluids, this will never change, part of wearing the big boy pants is not being bothered by that fact.

I don't wish to use my lovers bile as lubricant? How backwards of me, all fluids a person secretes should be held equally fuckable!

I had sex with my girlfriend once when she was on her period. Once.

eh, the reflexive revulsion towards it is just instinct's way of saying, "Cannot impregnate at this time. Don't bother."

It's no more or less mature than being turned off or on by any of a dozen other physical factors.
