I haven't read the books nor I have watched the films. I heard that the series doesn't portray the BDSM community accurately, so it made the series not liked as much. I was wondering if there were books out there that does portray the BDSM community accurately.



Brie's Submission the best one I've come across so far is this one.. it goes in to a lot more detail then 50 Shades did granted I only read the first 5-15 chapters of 50 Shades but still. Not that I take part in the life style personally but I like reading it.


It was presented as BDSM but there's actually very little of it, especially after the first book. It reads like a fairytale romance where the poor average girl gets the prince. Except Grey isn't very nice.

Usually who liked 50 shades dislikes stories about real bondage, because there is little to no traditional romance in them and the submissives look like they're been tortured.

Something I read recently that seemed well done on the bondage aspect was Story of L but I don't practice so I can't be sure.

After a very few books accurately displaying BDSM, unlike Fifty Shades of Grey, the books highlights how important aftercare, consent, and the safe words were and how you're not supposed to bring emotions into play because it could be harmful and I learned different types of BDSM and the roles they play. Reading 50 Shades of Grey after that made me realize how abusive Grey was sense Grey literally do none of that
