8 sex scenes

Christian & Anna are shown together in a bathtub.. they both are completely naked.

A man throws a woman onto a bed, removes her clothing, removes his clothing, blindfolds her with her undershirt, and ties her forearms and wrists together with a necktie; he then roughly turns her over onto her face and chest and begins intercourse and we see thrusting and hear gasping as the scene ends; the camera cuts to the couple in bed under covers, he dresses and leaves after telling her he does not do love and romance. In half a dozen scenes, a man uses a necktie or red ropes to tie a nude woman's hands above her head in bed, sometimes to a bed's headboard and sometimes, he ties her ankles to the foot of the bed and he blindfolds her as well in a few scenes; in one scene, he removes and smells her panties, then sticks them in the back pocket of his jeans as he manacles her wrists to an overhead frame, brushes her body with a riding crop all over her body and then slaps the crop against her ribcage and buttocks causing her to gasp; he lifts her thighs and begins intercourse in closeup and we see her abdomen hitting against his abdomen.

In one scene a man turns a woman over his knee at home, raises her skirt, lowers her panties, and slaps her buttocks as she gasps. We see a riding crop hit a woman's bare buttocks in closeup as she gasps. A man hits a woman's buttocks with a heavy belt while she counts and cries (we see no injuries). She then stands up, pushes him and stomps a foot, making her bare breasts jiggle. A woman wearing a blindfold, is handcuffed by the wrists to a headboard above her head; we see her from the upper-chest-upwards, we see her startle and hear her gasp (sexual stimulation is implied below the frame) as a large peacock feather is drawn across her lower legs and breasts from off-screen; a many-tailed flog is drawn across her body in the same way, with light slapping of the abdomen three times. In a bedroom scene a man spits a mouthful of wine into a woman's mouth, then takes an ice cube in his mouth, rubbing it along her lips, chest, breasts and abdomen, along with his nose as she gasps.

NB All genitalia male and female not visible due to careful camera angles. Basically male and female upper body and rear nudity only. There is however a brief flash of what appears to be female full frontal but she is wearing a patch and the actress is never fully nude. There is also a brief flash of male pubic hair and the base of a penile shaft. (This is the only showing of genitals, male or female in the entire movie.)

Although their activities are consensual, Christian spanks and hits Ana, usually too lightly to be truly painful but still hard enough to leave a mark. In one scene, Christian hits Ana (with her consent) six times so hard that she cries and leaves, horrified and upset.
