I do appreciate the civil and non-confrontational responses.
I did not know the book was being read by minors. So what does this say about ratings then?
I know when I was a young teen, I thought anything was ok for me, but as a father of a daughter, it makes me uncomfortable to condone such movies/books as I don't see the benefit over the potential negatives.
There is a lot of great lit to read out there. Is sex and BDSM necessary in providing that great educational experience many others seemed to obtain without it?
Like I said, my opinion only comes from the potential nightmare of my (or anyone's) 11 y/o being told at school someday by a 14 y/o that she should let her bf tie her up during sex like in the movies.
Am I a prude? old fashioned perhaps, but prefer to think of it as my great love of my kids and desire to protect their childhood innocence for as long as they are able to enjoy it.
Still can't reconcile the fact that on one hand, young girls are required to read it, but the movie rating agencies deem it as not permissible for them to watch.
