“Fifty Shades of Grey” and Its Influence on Escorting

Hitting the erotic literature niche in 2011, “Fifty Shades of Grey”, a novel written by E. L. James, quickly gained notoriety and even best-seller status. The naughty paperback is filled with BDSM references, waking in many a hidden passion for the dom/sub realm.

While Fifty Shades is considered soft in terms of kink by many professional dominators and dominatrixes and even looked down upon, the fact of the matter is that any sort of widespread explicit BDSM content in the media is beneficial when it comes to clientele. It wakes new fantasies in many that can’t be easily fulfilled outside of an escort encounter.

We’re sure most of you have heard about the infamous novel and about the movie that’s going to appear next month on February 2015. It’s a Fifty Shades rollercoaster we’re on and if you haven’t heard about it, it’s time to stop living under a rock and get in touch with some pop culture.

However, even if you’ve heard about it, we can’t blame some of you for being unfamiliar with the story. We’ll give you the basic plot. Christian Grey, a handsome young rich CEO, meets Anastasia Steele (We’re pretty sure there are some pornstars named that somewhere), a 22-year-old college graduate. Oh yeah, get this, Grey’s only 27-years-old, you know, like most CEOs, and Anastasia has a job right out of college. It’s a very unlikely scenario overall, so expect to roll your eyes a couple of times. Regardless, back to the story! Christian Grey is sexually experienced, while Anastasia is inexperienced and virginal. They are both attracted to each other and they enter into a dominator-submissive (D/s) relationship complete with BDSM contract, tying them to each other sexually. There’s some romanticism going around during the plot, but the novel’s erotic side prevails along the way.

To the true BDSM professionals, Fifty Shades is quite light, vanilla, but for a person who is not familiar with the more hardcore bondage scene, the question remains: Does Fifty Shades have any sort of influence on escorting?

Only a few escorts have reported on forums about clients asking them for a D/s experience, but it is happening. And now, with the movie ready to launch next month, more of these clients are bound to appear.

Male escorts have registered the biggest impact with many housewives seeking the same passion and dirty desires as seen in Fifty Shades or powerful business women wishing to let go of all that control they have in their day-to-day lives. On top of that, with so much erotic lit hitting the shelves, more and more women of all ages are beginning to see the appeal of sex. This could easily cause a spike in bookings for male escorts, so it’s best to be prepared.

For those of you who are new to this type of foreplay, read up a bit on some basic BDSM tips or, better yet, just read Fifty Shades. You can easily get away with such an encounter by being a little rough, doing some light choking, pulling your client’s hair and spanking. It’s not hard to get a little dominating in your encounters if your clients ask for that, but it’s best to be comfortable with the idea before getting asked!
