Fifty Shades Darker news: Movie SLAMMED by professional dominatrix - ‘It’s PATHETIC’
FIFTY SHADES DARKER has been completely lambasted by a BDSM expert, who has called it “pathetic and disturbing”.
Fifty Shades Darker has been slammed by a pro dominatrix
Sandra LaMorgese, a professional dominatrix, has written a blistering column explaining why exactly the movie - starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson gives the wrong impression.
“BDSM is a healthy practice for safe, consenting, and sane adults. No one needs fixing,” LaMorgese wrote for Huffington Post.
“As a professional dominatrix, I am constantly working to be more loving, compassionate, and respectful toward my subs, not manipulative or abusive.”
She pointed to a recent study by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, which claimed that most people who practise BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism) are “less neurotic, more extraverted”.

“For these reasons (and for its boring, vanilla BDSM sex scenes), I found Fifty Shades Darker to be a pathetic and disturbing portrayal of what, in a real-life BDSM relationship, would have been a caring, intimate relationship between Dominant and submissive partners,” she added.
Fifty Shades Darker received unanimous negativity from movie critics, many of whom called it worse than its predecessor Fifty Shades of Grey.
It was also reported that at a cinema screening in France, a man was arrested for masturbating in a cinema screen - because he was sitting next to police officers at the time.
Dornan has spoken out about rumours suggesting he and Johnson did not get on; admitting that whilst there was “awkwardness” during shooting of the first film, they are now good friends.

Johnson, meanwhile, has spoken out against claims that the film glorifies abuse.
Fifty Shades Darker has performed reasonably well at the box office, although has been trounced for two straight weeks by the Lego Batman Movie.
The film is out now.
