Fifteen years after Crash, David Cronenberg checks out BDSM via a love triangle between Jung (Michael Fassbender), Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and their complex patient Sabina (Keira Knightley), who had a fondness for spanking. Knightley certainly doesn't hold back when it becomes flogged by Michael Fassbender, although she admitted to punching vodka before filming that specific scene.

The majority of audiences can manage a light spanking, however Crash ups the kink element by checking out a world in which characters indulge their sadomasochistic desires by engineering car crashes. Certainly provocative and definitely not for the squeamish, David Cronenberg's movie was launched in a R variation, along with a NC-17 for adults only.

With the extraordinary success of the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise and the upcoming movie follow up on its way, BDSM has found itself at the forefront of kinky sex As an acronym that stands for Bondage and Discipline, Supremacy and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism, here are its most typical misconceptions, debunked.
