When I was little, she rode me around in a baby bike seat with an ERA YES bumper sticker on it, so I always say I was a feminist-diaper baby.

In many cases, submissives are proud feminists- like Maya (not her real name), 41, a college professor two years into a Dominant/submissive (known as D/s) relationship. In real life, submissive women are far more complex, their relationships not easily summarized in a contract.

But the heroine of the book that catapulted kink into the mainstream isn't representative of what actual women grapple with when it comes to owning their desire to serve, obey, be whipped, spanked, and bound, and other manifestations of kink, a word commonly used interchangeably with BDSM. In the book, Christian presents Ana with a lengthy contract governing her food choices, clothing, masturbation, birth control, and sexual activity, and shows her his home dungeon, The Red Room of Pain, full of kinky accoutrements she's never even imagined existed.Īna famously becomes so smitten with Christian, she'll do anything to keep him in her life, including submit to his dirtiest desires, though it's clear that for the most part, she doesn't really share them. In Fifty Shades of Grey, Anastasia Steele is an innocent virgin who falls for the ultimate dominant billionaire, Christian Grey, who ushers her into the world of BDSM, a catchall term which includes bondage/domination, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism.
