You’ve seen the movie, you’ve even read the book, and you’re curious and excited about bringing a bit of the thrill from Fifty Shades of Grey into your own bedroom.

But how?

Honestly, it’s scary to try to create your first BDSM scene or just tell your partner that you’re curious about trying some kinky rope tying. Maybe you’ve never asked to be blindfolded before, and wonder if he or she will think you’re some kind of sicko. Or maybe you’ve hinted at your desire before, but were turned down and embarrassed.

Everyone should know by now that Fifty Shades of Grey didn’t become the fastest book to sell one million copies—beating records previously set by Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code and J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beetle the Bard—because of the plot. And the movie, which debuts on Valentine’s Day, isn’t going to break box office records for cinematography. How, then, has a story focused exclusively on sexual domination of a female character attracted such a massive, mostly female, audience?
