Review 

His seductive eyes were enough for me to ignite the desire in me. He slowly came to me and bound my hands with a rope and I lay helpless in the bed looking into his eyes. Then he opened a bottle of honey and started pouring it on my naked body. The whole activity seemed quite exciting to me. He kept the empty bottle aside and he came top on me to lick the dripping honey. His proximity to me just aroused me enough and just then… “Naina, where did you keep the bottle of honey?” Yes, that was Indian mother-in-law yelling from the kitchen and asking me where I kept the bottle of honey. That’s the reality of the BDSM lifestyle in India. 

 

Forty Nine Shades Confused is a tongue-in-cheek narrative that shows the stark reality of the BDSM lifestyle. In India, people live in small houses and there are married couples who don’t even have a separate bedroom to enjoy such intensive sexual activities. And that’s what the book is all about. This short book of 52 pages is inspired by the Hollywood movie – Fifty Shades of Grey. The lifestyle shown in the movie is not exactly a rosy picture for many young Indian men. 

 

The protagonist in this book is no sexy, dapper dude but an accountant by profession and his struggle to find a date is enormous. He fantasizes about BDSM culture and in reality, his experiences with women turn out to be nothing but a nightmare to remember for a lifetime. The author wants to give an idea to people who fantasize about BDSM and its ill effects if one does not understand the concept well. It can be harmful to the submissive especially if that submissive is a woman. 

 

Some scenarios explained in this book are quite hilarious. It’s a simple narrative to make people understand and practical aspects of it. Everybody cannot be Christian Grey to afford a yacht or a separate room to conduct sexual fantasies. The author armed with his witty writing style reveals the true colors of the BDSM lifestyle. That’s why he concludes his plot by saying that dating is not black or whites but rather shady and grey. 

 

Writing Style 

Plain and simple! I do not know why the author has used some Indian words like Dhobi, palak and I did not like it.

 

The title and the book cover. 

The title is apt. The book cover is neither enticing nor suggestive. 


Is the book price reasonable? 

The book comes in an e-book format and has only 52 pages. Again, I find it 150/- Rs. for a small book like this is expensive. 

 

Rating 

3.5/5
