Lola Jones, professional hurdler turned bobsledder, took to social media and voiced her thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey. It wasn't whether or not she liked the movie, if the movie was true to the source material, but whether or not the sexual acts depicted on screen were moral or not.
Fifty Shades of Grey, for the most part, is about a young girl who meets a handsome, smart, albeit sexually kinky, man. It turns out he's into BDSM and a reason for this is because he was sexually abused as a child. *BDSM is rather f_cked up, no matter how seductive, passionate and titillating one frames it. It's a symptom of a hedonistic and morally confused & lost world. The virgin (Jones is a virgin) has it right. Surprising? No, not really, once you think about it. As rare, and weird - to the modern world, being a virgin past 21 is there is a type of "clear thinking" that seems to permeate Jones' thoughts in her tweets. Yes, she's sexually inexperience but she isn't a fool when it comes to such matters.
She's a professional athlete who pushed herself physically and mentally to earn the title of D1 college athlete and Olympian - the kind of pushing that even practitioners of BDSM probably will never experience. The sweat and physical abuse that could've been done in the bedroom was transferred to a rubbery, lopsided oval field. The friction, hypothetically speaking, was her vs her. She was rewarded for it: amazing body and an elite athlete. Her chastity also has done her good: She isn't a moral relativist when it comes to sexual matters and doesn't fall for modern sexual norms.
Every now and then a public figure just uses God given common sense. Sometimes that public figure broadcasts them. Sometimes that public figure has a good point.
Now cue all the anti-slut shaming/proud-to-be-a-'good'-slut/'my-partner-and-I-practice-BDSM-and-our-relationship-is-stronger-than-ever'/libertine crowd that will finds its way to L. Jones' twitter account.
*Note the "helping you find yourself" subtitle. As expected.
