Showing Original Post only (View all)[50 Shades] What two consenting adults do in their bedroom is NEVER your business. [View all]
I'm appalled at the sex police up in arms over this movie. It is NOT your business if two consenting adults want to engage in homosexual sex, heterosexual sex, BDSM, oral, anal, or any other consensual sex act. Keep your morals out of my bedroom.
