I would ask why ANYBODY would watch Fifty Shades Darker. I am not missing your point. And maybe I have no business on this thread since I’m a guy. But the truth is I have no issue with tasteful erotic content. But if someone is going to watch it at least it should be well made.
My advice, The Unbearable Lightness Of Being (1988).

Eskimos in the barren North..

Inuit. The proper name for them is Inuit.

"Eskimo" is considered an almost insulting term for them. Don't ask me how or why, but it is.

And thus endeth the lesson for the day.

The whole purpose of the TV and movie producers is to destroy our moral values, with the goal in mind of eliminating all influence that Christianity/Judaism has on our actions.

Good question. Do women find this interesting? Do they tell themselves its just fantasy that they would never get involved in anything like that? Are they solid in their love for their husbands, so that any thought of adultery is unthinkable??

A dear friend, now passed away, had told me that if you are strong in your faith, that you will resist any notion of imitating bad behaviors you see in entertainment media. So that, he was saying, people can watch and enjoy soap operas and not want to emulate the affairs frequently found in such programs. He said people can watch movies with immoral behavior and not go out and participate in such behaviors.

So is that it? If your faith is strong enough then you can resist any immoral illegal or dangerous behavior you see in movies or TV or literature? And you will know its all fiction and not meant to be emulated in real life???

***Eskimos in the barren North often kill wolves by taking a razor-sharp knife and dipping it in blood.****

I read these exact words in some novel about WWII fifty five years ago! The exact words!

Why Are Christian Women Watching 'Fifty Shades Darker'?

None of the ones I know are.

Maybe your problem is who you hang out with?

The author spends the entire article telling women that they are not being faithful enough and are at fault by failing to live up a standard.

Maybe the man need to buy a Barry White CD and TCOB.

Because they think it’s a romance novel.

A lack of self-discipline and a corresponding worship of self-indulgence.

oh my gosh is that a true story about the wolves licking a knife and killing themselves? omg that’s the weirdest story I’ve ever heard. 50 shades has nothing on the eskimos. Damn. Just, damn.

I have no idea, I haven’t watched either. I read the other day that the female lead had to get drunk to be able to do the “sex scenes”. That sounds pretty telling..

As an ordained minister who long ago grew appalled to see the consistency with which seemingly sincere and virtuous Christian girls and women preferred Bad Boys to Good Guys, I have a politically-incorrect assessment of the phenomenon:

Women were designed to submit to men, especially in an intimate sexual relationship - period. It is Natural Law, it is instinct, and it is powerful.

Women are therefore drawn to virile, dominant males, and find them sexually alluring. They often mistake ruthless, callous, and even abusive behavior for strength. (Cue the reason that so many so-called Liberated Women of the West give up that liberty to marry a brutal, sexist Muslim male! I have seen this happen.)

Nice Guys do indeed often finish last - in the institutionalized church as well as in society at large.

Humanity is fallen, and women are every bit as sinful as men - it just manifests differently for them.

The whole “Fifty Shades” thing is just more blatant and tactless than it was in the past. Women have been inviting and allowing Bad Boys to seduce them ever since the Fall.

I could name many Good Girls who married a Pew Warmer (my nickname for the Bad Boys who mainly went to church to find and nab a virgin) instead of a more modest and humble Christian man and lived to regret it.

You can all disagree with me; I really at this point could not care less: This is my view from the trenches, and I am sticking to it.

My question is how many women that say could never vote for Trump because of “how he treats women” find the Gray character sexy and attractive. I know a few.
