"I can understand why people say tying a woman up and spanking her is misogynistic. But actually, more men are submissive than women. Very powerful men," Dornan said.

"It's a far bigger scene than I imagined: in pretty much any city in the world that you could name, people want to get spanked with a paddle with studs on it."

Dornan says that while the film may have a lot of sexy scenes, the point of the film to tell the love story between Christian Grey and his love interest Anastasia Steele.

"The love story is more important than the BDSM aspect," Dornan said. "I mean we are going to tell a love story, you know, it can't just be what happens in the Red Room, that's not a film. There's so much more going on than that."
