How about the pet?? The trailer for it looks good. http://www.thepetmovie.com/
Oy--I hated the trailer. Now I haven't seen the movies, but I have deep angst about accepting wiitwd and whenever a line is crossed, it terrifies the hell out of me. I don't think it makes sense to try and imply (even if it is based on a true story, which I doubt) that if you end up going into a consentual relationship like this, there is a deep dark underworld that will find out and they will come and get you.
Frankly, I think this is playing into a lot of the anti-sex narratives that have been in our society for so long. Gays and lesbians were associated with death. If you get into S&M, then you will end up in human trafficking. Bull shit. Human trafficking preys on people without economic privilege, mostly people not from first world countries without other choices. They aren't going to go after rich people and kidnapping them because they happen to be into this in their own lives. The cost-benefit ratio just doesn't work. Why kidnap a woman living as a 'pet' to a rich man who will work like hell to protect her and expose them when you can get a 12 year old from a third world country whose family has no choice.
This is not to say I'm in anyway defending human trafficking, but to link it with S&M is, I think, deeply anti-sex.
And frankly, these kind of bullshit analogies (and stupid net-only "Masters" who talk about having the right to cut off a slave's ear unless she specified otherwise, or whatever) are part of the reason it took me over a decade to accept who I am and, I think, scare a lot of women out of accepting a submissive side to themselves.
