Emergency rooms are flooded with red faced people who wont sit down for some inexplicable reason.
 
You can buy packs of rope at the Hardware store that have diagrams on how to tie your partner up in certain positions.
 
Oh cool, we're doing this now? Okay, um...

When buying candles, you can get them in Scented, Non-scented, and Dripping.

Pet stores start stocking more person-sized cages.

People stop using the phrase "I'm all tied up at the moment," to mean that they're busy in general.

Women start paying far too much attention to their inner goddesses, or how their partner's pants hang on them. :rolleyes:
 
Mc Donald's launches "slave size" meals which is scraps you'll get as you kneel at Master's feet.
 
My sister-in-law is not only reading the series, but is actually proud of the fact this is the first book she completed since leaving university 10 years ago.

So, yesterday. SoCal Leather Tribes annual picnic. Pervy scavenger hunt, Three-legged race, Dildo toss (which the puppies retrieved) the ceremonial bursting of 25 water balloons on this years' L.A. Mr Leather.

All the prizes were in a trashbag, the winners were supposed to put in their hand and pull something out. The booby prize was a copy of '50 Shades'-- the guy who drew it was allowed to put it back in and look for something else.

True story...:cool:
