Pornhub has proven definitively that consumption of “Fifty Shades of Grey” means real-life fascination with BDSM, with a brand new sets of infographics on search phrases immediately following the movie’s release a week ago. Shocker: A lot more people are searching for BDSM and BDSM-related terms than usual.
It’s women, in particular, who are suddenly far more thinking about BDSM porn: Among women, searches for terms like “submission,” “dominate,” “BDSM,” and “spanking” are up 150-200 percent. Normally I’d make some snide comment concerning the movie and book here, however i think that this is really a good thing, because the distinction between “Fifty Shades of Grey” and porn from Kink.com is really vast that maybe those who are suddenly very interested in it’ll arrived at understand how poor a representation of BDSM “Fifty Shades of Grey” is really. And perhaps some of them will discover suspension and anal fisting and genital clamps and electroshock extremely arousing and look into safely trying it out, and good for them; and perhaps a number of them will see that it’s well beyond their tolerance and will stay the hell away from it within their personal sex lives, and good for them, too.
Another bonus: BDSM porn is better-written and far more entertaining than?”Fifty Shades of Grey.” Hey-oh, there’s the snideness. I might possess a bottomless well of contempt for James’ horrorshow, but I also have a bottomless well of love for PornHub, provider of both really excellent BDSM porn and really fun infographics.
