Just Found Out My Daughter's Friend Has Read 50 Shades (1 Viewer)

[Scoresman]

My opinion lies somewhere between "It's ok to give my daughter a copy of the book" and "I'm forbidding my daughter from hanging out with this other kid because she read the book." I think both are extremes that aren't ideal parenting.

Either way, it just seems weird to see hand-wringing about unrealistic depictions of sex and relationships when it's women's sexual fantasies. Any tour of erotic content directed toward men will unearth a lot of unrealistic depictions of sex that bear no relationship to what most actual couples do. And that may very well be harmful. I'm not trying to diminish it. It's just that the anti-porn voices against that aren't given such a prominent platform.

Porn doesn't glamorize the behavior is the same way 50 Shades has done.

This sounds like bull#### to me.

so maybe this is new thread worthy but what age would it be appropriate for a father to share his playboys with his son?

Jesus, Joe, how do you expect us to teach our kids ingenuity and problem-solving if we are going to go ahead an do everything for them.

So I guess you tell everybody at work that you going to tonight to watch an 18 year old have sex after getting picked up by a bus.

I don't think it's particularly a secret among people who know me that I've viewed porn, no. And I've had water cooler discussions about Game of Thrones, a show where a character penetrated a woman with a crossbow quarrel.

I don't see anyone treating 50 Shades of Gray as "glamorous." From what I've seen, its treated as a trashy novel for horny wives.

They call it mommy porn for a reason.

Anyone want to bet that the OPs daughter has read the book by now?

She probably told her friends mom about it.

Watched parts of this with my wife and thought it was disgusting. It's basically a guy who was abused the same way as a kid who now abuses other women. Because he's rich and good looking he can find women to agree to the abuse. Sick stuff.

 

[Rohn Jambo]

Chet, is this the same "friend" who told your daughter the teacher hates her?

 

[FUBAR]

For those with adult children - would you watch this in the theatre with them?

Would anyone watch this with their parents?

 

[cstu]

Didn't see it, but my wife told me how it ended:

Spoiler

After getting beaten the first time she gives all his stuff back and breaks up with him.

 

[bigbottom]

My wife has absolutely no interest in either the book or the movie. Can't decide whether that's a good or bad thing.

If you think 13yr olds havent seen 10x worse on xvids or the like, you're outta your mind.

poop smoothies are all the rage, currently.

I'd say a good thing.

She's 13 and her mother gave her the book. Reactions?

I am flabbergasted and really want to limit my daughter's exposure to the family.

That's exactly what I'd do.

First time looking at this thread. The OP has the right idea about limiting time with well read kid. I'll try and catch up and see how it's going.
