With a worldwide total of $410.6 million, “Fifty Shades of Grey” is the top grossing U.S. film for a second, straight weekend. Tantalized by explicit depictions of female sexual submission, American women flocked to the film’s debut, and made up 68 percent of theater audiences. Which begs the question, do women really want to be dominated in the bedroom? Yes and no, says Joanne Harvie, a great commentator.
“We talk to real women, about their real sexual desires, every day,” said Harvie. “Many of men are enticed by the fantasy of their partners taking control, but they aren’t interested in hardcore sadomasochism. Like most fictional movies, “Fifty Shades of Grey” pushes the boundaries of reality. So, a woman may enjoy furry handcuffs and a firm spanking, but she might not want to be chained to a bedpost and beaten with a whip.
Unlocking Female Sexual Submission
Harvie went onto to elaborate, “Women have romanticized the fantasy of sexual submission since before ‘Gone with the Wind.’ The idea of relinquishing control to a partner can be a powerful aphrodisiac for many. It can tap into an individual’s desire to feel wanted and needed. Today, we all have busy lives with work and kids. And some women are craving this type of affirmation from their partners. When someone ties you to a bed, it screams I want you. I need you. I have to have you now!”
This concept can be confusing for men, Harvie admits. “There may be a woman who saw ‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ and now her lover wants to know if he should be more like Christian Grey. It is a fine line, but a woman can help communicate her comfort level, so that her sexual boundaries are respected. Respecting limits is paramount.”
Giving Him Control, While Setting Limits
“If a woman wants her lover to be more commanding, she can give him a sexy gift that illustrates her desire,” Harvie says. “For example, if she wants him to take charge in the bedroom, she could give him a blindfold or handcuffs with a playful note that indicates her level of comfort. If it says, ‘Tease me until I scream,’ that suggests more foreplay. If it says, ‘I’ve been naughty, spank me,’ he’ll know she wants a spanking. With all role playing, setting and respecting safe words are extremely important. They communicate when limits have been reached, and play needs to stop.”
Harvie adds, “Also know that some women aren’t interested in submission at all, and that’s fine. The trick is to find your passion and share it with your partner respectfully.

The Damned is a movie with certain possessive haunter. The story begins with an American (Facinelli), widowed from his Colombia-born wife, who flies to Bogota with his new fiancée (Myles) to retrieve his rebellious teenage daughter Jill (Ramos). After a car accident leaves them stranded in a rundown isolated inn, they discover the old innkeeper has locked a young girl in the basement and their decision to set her free has unintended consequences. Even the plot and sequences of each scene is very predictable, it has many elements so visually is sickening and scared and the characters can’t go anywhere without being haunted, kidnapped, lost, or attacked. The purpose of scares is very well structured with some dialogues that are helped with an old spooky house. Definitely the cast is really talented where Nathalia Ramos is a part of it. She’s an amazing actress and Peter Facinelli is a great actor as well and the spectator will enjoy it during August in many movie theaters in USA.
Third Person is a movie with the deepest feelings

This film tells three stories of love, passion, trust and betrayal. The tales play out in New York, Paris and Rome through three couples who appear to have nothing in common and only tangential connections. But there is always a third person in any relationship — perhaps not romantically, perhaps you aren’t even aware of their existence, but they are there. The cast is very well selected led by Liam Neeson, Adrien Brody, Mila Kunis and James Franco. It’s emotional with European mystery style. Even is an odd script Kunis’s character turning up to clean hotel rooms in both Manhattan and France — aren’t just sloppy mistakes, but the idea was that she was suffering for her child. But the drama and intensity are elements for each character in a different manner. Michael (Neeson) is holed up in a Paris hotel working on his manuscript when his young lover (Olivia Wilde) arrives. This an intellectual couple but the bad part is that both tortures the other behind the backs of their respective lovers. In Michael’s case, his enormously understanding wife back in the States is played by Kim Basinger. In few words in 136 minutes, as a viewer you will be deeply involved in each character’s life. However, there are several love scenes that are supposed to be torrid but seem icky and puzzle in which truth is revealed in glimpses, and clues are caught by the corner of your eye — and nothing is truly what it seems.

Rust and Bone is an intense love story from the director of the highly-acclaimed The Prophet. When Alain (Matthias Schoenaerts) is put in charge of his young son, he decides to make a break of it and leaves his native Belgium to restart his life with his sister in Antibes. But the new start is turned upside down when he starts a relationship with Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard), the beautiful trainer of killer whales. It’s when Stéphanie has a serious accident that their connection really turns into something profound. French dialogue is arguably and beautiful for this movie especially after she suffers a horrible accident. This is a tremendously acted and directed drama, and the spark of love between Cotillard and Schoenaerts after they have sex for the first time is exciting and moving. Great film, plot, and acting, although the film has sub titles, this did not detract from it whatsoever gripped from start to finish.
