[From review]
Fans couldn't wait to start reading Grey
The original trilogy caused a sensation when it was catapulted from secret vice to public notoriety.
Voracious readers went from clandestine reading on their kindles to openly flaunting the book on public transport. So, get ready to see a lot of the new book cover everywhere as the latest instalment in the steamy saga hits bookshelves today.
The recent film was criticised for toning down the sex scenes and paled into comparison with shocking scenes in recent film Nymphomaniac, but Grey looks set to rectify all that.
It certainly doesn't spare readers' blushes and even author E.L. James, herself, admits that they should brace themselves.
"Christian might have some surprises in store for them," she warns.
Whereas she was an innocent, at least in the beginning, Grey is a man who knows what he wants from the start and is already experienced in all the explicit acts.
The earlier parts of the book are more confined to Christian's inner fantasies as he lures Anastasia in. He wrestles with his excitement during one memorable meal.

EXCERPT FROM GREY:
"As she tips the oyster into her mouth my body hardens.
"She asks me if I've chosen oysters deliberately, knowing their reputed aphrodisiac qualities. 'I don't need an aphrodisiac near you,'" he replies but he is thinking " Yeah, I could f*** you right now."
Dakota Johnson blindfolded in the Fifty Shades film
Obviously, as the book progresses the scenes and descriptions become increasingly graphic and extreme.
"Maybe this will stop if I fetter, f**k, and flog her...and not necessarily in that order," Christian says in one scene, before launching into a graphic description of his sexual fantasies.
As well as the numerous S&M scenes between the two main characters, there are references to others like Mrs. Robinson and "her large rubber strap-on.”
Readers more used to all the X-rated scenes being filtered through Anastasia's female sensibility may be unsettled by Christian's more aggressive voice.
Despite all this, the presumably unshockable E.L. James didn't choose any of these scenes when she was asked recently what surprised her most about writing the new book.
"The biggest surprise for me was Christian's relationship with his brother Elliot, which was a lot closer than I Had imagined," she admitted.
"That was fun to write about."
Somehow, we doubt that it is what eager readers will be most looking forward to…

(WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT)

[From film review]
The four-hour film caused huge controversy on its release last year.
It wasn't just the numerous explicit scenes of a variety of sexual practices, nor the unflinching camera-work which left no doubt that real sex was happening on the screen.
Rumours started flying about how fully the major Hollywood stars involved in the film, like Uma Thurman, Jamie Bell and Shia Laboeuf, had participated in the graphic scenes, before it was eventually revealed that porn star doubles were used for all the X-rated close-ups.
Even so, the film is not for the faint-hearted.

Online Flirting Has Same Effect As Physical Cheating

 
Tracey says that if we get away with cheating it can make us judge our partner for being too naïve.

[From article]
The average person who uses social media has romantic or sexual conversations with two people other than their current partner.
These results from a new US study (University of Indiana) echo many others: that 'remote infidelity' - loving or sexual interaction that doesn't involve physical contact - is on the rise.
But the jury divides sharply on the effect this will have on our relationships.
[. . .]

Good relationships are based on mutual admiration and respect, not pitying your partner or secretly thinking they're stupid.
My conclusion?
I'm sticking with what I've always said about infidelity.
If you want to know if what you're doing is cheating, ask yourself this question: Would my partner be upset if they could see what I'm doing right now?
If you answer yes, then you're cheating.
Continue doing what you're doing after you've answered yes and you're effectively saying 'I don't care about my partner's feelings'.
In person or online, let's not kid ourselves. It all means something.

Misguided CA Law Jeopardizes Privacy of Young Students

Privacy For All Students

Privacy for All Students Coalition Launches Referendum Campaign To Let Voters Decide Fate of School Bathroom and Shower Legislation

Sacramento - A coalition of parents, students, nonprofit and faith groups today launched a referendum effort to give voters the right to decide whether to accept legislation that gives students the ability to utilize intimate school facilities such as showers, rest rooms and locker rooms based on their so-called gender identity and not their actual sex. The legislation also allows students to participate on formerly sex-segregated school sports and athletics teams based on gender identity. AB 1266 was signed into law on August 12th and is the only legislation of its kind ever enacted in America.

"AB 1266 is extreme, poorly drafted and utterly lacking in standards and safeguards," said Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute and a member of the Privacy for All Students coalition. "California law already protects transgendered students against discrimination and bullying. This bill is rife for abuse and subjects all California students to an unwarranted invasion of privacy, allowing them to be exposed to fully mature students of the opposite sex in school showers, bathrooms and locker rooms. It goes way too far."

The Privacy for All Students coalition must collect approximately 505,000 voter signatures by November 12thto qualify the referendum to the November 2014 ballot. Once signatures are submitted to elections officials, the law is put on hold and does not take effect until voters approve or reject it.

Existing California law prohibits discrimination and bullying against students on the basis of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and gender non-conforming appearance and behavior. Further, some school districts have existing policies giving students access to facilities and athletic teams based on gender identity, but those policies have provisions that seek to provide safeguards and balance the interests of all students. AB 1266 contains no such provisions.

"AB 1266 is not about protecting the rights of transgender students because they are already protected against discrimination and bullying under California law," said Dr. John Eastman, professor of law at Chapman University and former Dean of the Chapman University School of Law. "It's about an adult political agenda that seeks to use the public schools to strip gender and gender differences from societal norms. It's the wrong agenda for California, and it's particularly wrong of these advocates to use school children as a weapon in waging their culture war."

Initial members of the Privacy for All Students coalition includes the Capitol Resource Institute, Pacific Justice Institute, Faith and Public Policy, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and ActRight, a national clearinghouse for conservative activists headed by Brian S. Brown.

"We all want students to be safe in school, but AB 1266 is so poorly crafted that it jeopardizes the safety of students," said Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills. "The bill forces a clumsily-drafted one-size fits all solution on California that is completely lacking in safeguards and guidelines, provides no role for parental involvement and fails to balance the interests of all students. It should be rejected."

Student leaders also spoke out against the legislation. "Our student body is supportive of all students, including those who consider themselves to be transgender. But it's wrong to subject students to being exposed to people of the opposite sex in intimate situations such as showers and restrooms," said one student leader with the coalition. "There are many less-intrusive approaches that can be adopted at the local level without sacrificing the privacy, safety and security of others, and without opening our showers, restrooms and locker rooms to abuse by students who wish to take advantage and misuse the law."

ActRight's president predicted that people throughout California and around the nation would rally to support the referendum campaign.

"This legislation is so extreme and far out of the mainstream that it will serve as a catalyst for involving parents and others in the effort to overturn it," said Brian Brown, ActRight's president. "The bill is so poorly crafted that a student need not ever have demonstrated any identification with the opposite gender before showing up demanding access to intimate school facilities reserved for members of the opposite sex. I have no doubt that people across the ideological spectrum, of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs will oppose this extreme legislation."

The coalition also announced that Frank Schubert of Mission Public Affairs, LLC has agreed to advise the coalition during the referendum qualification phase and will manage the campaign once it qualifies for the ballot. Schubert, twice named the nation's top political consultant, has managed 15 California ballot initiative and referendum campaigns, winning 14 of them, including passing Proposition 8 in 2008. He explained his reasons for supporting the referendum campaign in an article written for Flash Report.

Bathroom Privacy is Common Sense

Californians are taking a stand for privacy, safety and common sense.

Eight days ago, Governor Brown signed AB 1266 into law. Finally, he thought, California students would be liberated from the burden of sex-segregated bathrooms.

He forgot that Californians still have something to say about their laws.

Within days a referendum effort was filed to overturn AB 1266. Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute, appeared on The Mike Huckabee show over the weekend to comment on the new law, the first of its kind in the nation. Media Matters was quick to dismiss her comments. Apparently they have bought the idea that the most compassionate response to a 16-year-old boy struggling with his sexual identity is to tell him to start dressing down in the girl's locker room.

Capitol Resource Institute intends to be a conduit of information and opinions on this new law and the effort to overturn it.
