DISSATISFIED
EVE FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST FIFTY SHADES OF GREY SEX TOYS
(Promise on the toys ‘I surrender, exploding around him — a draining,
soul-grabbing orgasm that leaves me spent and exhausted’ is false)
Whips, ropes, belts, handcuffs, masking tapes, cable
ties, floggers for spanking… the list went on… trying to impress upon the
readers that there were these and more in Christian Grey’s ‘playroom’ to add on
to that ‘Oh My God’ life-shattering orgasmic pleasure that Grey promised to
give his woman. But the minute I started reading the best-seller that made
waves across the world I knew it was sickening, not for the vivid sex scenes
but for the utter rubbish of the ‘dominant’ and ‘submissive’ game play between
Grey and his love interest Anastasia Steele. What was surprising for me to
digest is why a bright literature university student like Anastasia had to act
as the submissive ‘toy girl’ of rich industrialist Grey in his specially built
playroom where he used sadistic means in the name of giving pleasure to the
girl and why she every time had to express and acknowledge that sexual
gratification. And what kind of pleasure an intelligent, educated girl gets
submitting as an object, on whom Grey uses all sorts of quirky sex toys without
having proper sex! Page after page stamped on the idea that if the woman
submits in the game of sex, only then she gets the maximum pleasure from the
man. Of course later in the book the author tries to cover up this sickening
trend of male dominance by bringing in Grey’s troubled childhood that led to
his deranged psychology.
But the read unfortunately gave me no pleasure, let
alone any sexual titillation. And it seems there are now women across the world
unlike me who believed in the possible pleasures described in the book and even
tried on the games with the sex toys that flooded the international markets
under the brand name of the book.
And they too, were left high and dry. Here comes the
hilarious lawsuit against the author of Fifty Shades
of Grey and
a British sex toy company by an unsatisfied California customer. She claims a
lubricant they released under the S&M book’s brand failed to deliver the
pleasure it promised. The lubricant known as Fifty Shades
of Grey: Come Alive Pleasure Gel for Her, was one of the many erotic products released by a
sex toy manufacturer in partnership with the novel’s author, E.L. James, who
approved each item. The range also includes nipple clamps, two different dildos
and a Fifty Shades Of Grey Soothe Me After Spanking Cream, which boasts the
luxurious aroma of sandalwood, bergamot and musk, along with Christian’s
signature scent. No idea though if they are available in the Indian market.
Just waiting for some Indian woman to try it and file another lawsuit, maybe.
The arousal gel’s packaging says ‘users would
experience enhanced orgasms and stimulation as every tingle, touch and
vibration intensifies.’
Apparently nothing intensified for the woman Tania
Warchol! Yes, Warchol is that unsatisfied customer who says the lubricant,
which costs about $14.99, failed to perform. She claims the slippery substance
is even incompatible with latex. She now seeks a refund and punitive damages.
And to add to it, many other dissatisfied women might soon join her lawsuit
claiming they were duped. Women in the west have always equated pleasure and
pain in sex alike. Hence its not surprising that the pain in sex described in Fifty Shades that promises to finally explode in a satisfactory pleasure even though
the toys appear to be physically painful, went down very well with the Western
women customers. The only sad part is they didn’t find the pleasure! Warchol
also claims the lubricant has been mislabelled, because anything purporting to
be an ‘aphrodisiac’ needs approval from the Federal Drug Administration, which
this product apparently didn’t have.
Had heard a lot about the book.Thanks for your write up Sahelidi. Wont buy it.
