Dakota Johnson: 'America is still sexually oppressed

Friday, January 13th 2017

Dakota Johnson wishes America wasn't so conservative when it comes to sexuality.
The actress was catapulted to fame in 2015 when she landed the lead role in Fifty Shades of Grey, based on the raunchy 2011 novel of the same name by E.L. James, which tells of college graduate of Anastasia Steele, who begins a sadomasochistic relationship with Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan.
Dakota is set to reprise her role in the soon to be released Fifty Shades Darker, and shares that she's still surprised by the reaction of conservative groups to the sexual themes in the movie.
"First of all, there are some very chic avenues in BDSM (erotic practices or role playing)," she told Vogue magazine. "It can be very beautiful and tasteful, and the materials can be luxurious. But what I admire is the bravery and the honesty of people who get down with it, who aren't afraid to say that they need something a bit more in order to get off. America is still so sexually oppressed."
Dakota, the daughter of Hollywood veterans Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, adds that she is "truly proud" of her work in the "different" First Shades movies, despite the mixed critical response. And she's adamant that her character is a strong woman, with a multifaceted personality.
"This woman is a bada**... She's hyperintelligent and hypersexual and very tough and very loving, and her character has so many different aspects that don't normally make sense in one person. I tried to amplify them all," she said.
When it comes to her own love life, Dakota, 27, remains tight-lipped. Though after ending her relationship with model and singer Matthew Hitt last year, she admits to feeling a "little bit heartbroken" all the time.
"Even when I'm in a happy relationship. I don't do casual very well, and my feelings, even the good ones, get so intense that they hurt," she sighed.

Elite Daily - Cat Owners Love BDSM More Than Anyone, Putting The ‘Crazy’ In Crazy Cat Lady

Cat Owners Love BDSM More Than Anyone, Putting The ‘Crazy’ In Crazy Cat Lady

Now, I have another confession, but this is just between you and me: I also happen to have a little ~bondage~ fetish. OK, it’s a big bondage fetish. But let’s not judge. 

But what does my love for black leather whips have to do with my love for fluffy, elusive, bitchy kitties? 

Well according to SCIENCE, it turns out cat owners are more inclined to have a hankering for le bondage. 

A new study reveals a real symptom of “toxoplasmosis” — a parasitic infection humans can catch from our precious baby kittens and adult cats — is feeling sexually turned on by “fear, violence and danger.” 

In simple terms, this means your fantasies about being spanked could very well be a symptom of a parasitic infection. A parasitic infection that comes from cat shit, nonetheless.

Yup, that’s right babes, CAT SHIT. You don’t contract toxoplasmosis by merely petting your seemingly innocent, purring kitten in your naked fingertips. 

It’s found in the cat’s feces — and dealing with cat feces is just one of the many non-glam realities of being a cat owner. 

You aren’t a real cat owner until you’ve handled cat feces, so don’t go acting prim like this toxoplasmosis won’t happen to you. We’re all at risk, honey.

I’m a little dismayed that my BDSM impulses are likely to be due to the fact that I’m a lifelong cat owner with an infection from cat shit and not because I’m a complicated woman with mysterious, repressed issues that have manifested in a desire to be dominated. 

According to The Independent, one-third of the world’s population is infected with toxoplasmosis. 

Um, why do I feel like I’m writing about an STD? And to make it even more STD like, toxoplasmosis is usually a-symptomatic, but when it does have symptoms (that are physical) they’re often “flu-like.”

Or… they just make you want to be dominated in the bedroom.

Jaroslav Flegr, who led the study, explains that it’s pretty normal for people to get a little hot and bothered when they’re afraid, but being really, really, really turned on by fear is elevated in people in those infected with toxoplasmosis possibly because of the effects the parasite has on the brain. 

So parasites can somehow make us kinkier, I guess. I don’t know, it’s a strange, strange world.

On a darker note, toxoplasmosis has also been linked to behavior change. Some studies have even shown that there may be a connection between the infection and schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD and aggression.

 But you know what, babes? Let’s keep it light and just try to digest the fact that our love for leather and chains has to do with the fact that we’ve been cleaning up cat shit for far too long.
