Fifty Shades Of Grey Is Becoming Fifty Shades Of ER Visits

Well, we all knew it would happen. As Fifty Shades of Grey took off, more people would try to recreate the BDSM from the book and soon to be movie. Therefore it's not surprising that there has been a rise in ER visits due to inept attempts to recreate Fifty Shades of Grey sexual encounters.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, since the book came out eight years ago hospital visits due to sex-toy injuries have about doubled with a huge increase in hospital visits when the second and third books came out in 2011 and 2012. 83% of the time the person visiting the hospital needed to have a “foreign body” removed from their actual body. And of those people needed to have a “foreign body” removed 58% were men in their 40s, followed by women in their 30s. Also noted in the report was a 67 year-old woman and an 85 year-old man both treated for sex-toy injures, though it doesn’t appear they were together. Still, pretty impressive.  

Spicing up your sex life is always great and if it takes a book like Fifty Shades of Grey, more power to you. The only thing that matters is that you do it safely. Now we just have to sit and wait for the next spike after the movie hits theaters this weekend.
