Oh, right, just how people express themselves musically, who people vote for, and what groups they join that you don't like. But sexually? Perish the thought.
If i have to hear what people listen to I have a problem with it, as in no other options, people can vote for whoever they want but I cant still think its a waste, i dont support groups that deny equal rights to people you are right, and as long as im not forced to see it or hear it I dont care what people do in the bedroom.

Unless it's listen to Insane Clown Posse, of course. But I'm happy for you that you've been able to find one group not to judge. Maybe in a few years, you can expand that.

Have you ever listened to ICP? Those lyrics are the worst...

I have not read the book, however I have seen a clip of the author reading a passage. It seemed boring and silly to me, but I am not a woman.
However, if a woman enjoys reading this book that is fine with me.
But I understand the characters in this book are not married, so the woman is not to follow the example of the book. She is to be submissive only to her husband, as the bible says.

I completely agree on staying away from this book. It is normalizing unhealthy relationships.

I dread to think the number of women who do not stand up to abusive partners now because it is mainstream behaviour

Have not heard of that book, but not interested in that genre anyway. Prefer W.E.B. Griffin.

I read all three books because of the huge conflict they caused among friends. I agree with CC Bride. They are soft porn and I do not recommend them to Christians, especially those who are impressionable.

A lot of the information I found on websites was incorrect, so here is a brief summary:

A 27 year old man was abused initially by his mother’s (who died after being involved in drugs and prostitution) “boss” (don’t want to use that other word in a Christian forum), and by a friend of his adopted mothers, and was introduced by the older woman to BDSM [Bondage and Discipline (BD), Dominance and Submission (DS), Sadism and Masochism (SM)] at the impressionable age of 15. It consumes him and he is unable to have normal relationships with women.

He meets and falls in love with an innocent/virginal recent college grad (age 22 – not a child as it says on some websites that accuse him of pedophilia), and attempts to introduce her to this lifestyle.

I’ll skip over the graphic details and language of the book to the end: The woman he loves and his adoptive mother convince him that he was abused by the older woman and that his behavior is not normal, and a healing of sorts takes place. He marries the woman, they have a family, blah, blah, blah.

The most offensive thing I found about the books was not the sex, but the idea of chaining someone to a cross. As a Christian, I simply could not force myself to read that part.
LOL at the first sentence...

What else have you tried out to see what its like because it caused a conflict?
