Dakota Johnson Is Totally Over Her ’50 Shades’ Sex Scenes

BDSM can get the best of us, sometimes.

Having actual, full fledged, body to body sex can be tiresome enough for us regular folks. Visualize having to mimic all the movements and sounds for the sake of good cinema. Not exactly pretty, right?

That’s become the life of Dakota Johnson, who is bound to the 50 Shades franchise as innocent college grad Ana Steele. In the films, Steele is enveloped by a world of whips, chains, and the color red. With the production for follow-up sequels Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed no where near completion, it seems the 26-year old actress won’t be released from her chains anytime soon, and she’s not exactly ecstatic about that.

When asked during a chat with Interview Magazine if the sex with co-star Jamie Dornan was simulated or audiences members were paying $14.50 for 2 hours of porn, Johnson made it clear that she found no pleasure in laying on her back for hours on end. “Well, we’re not having actual sex,” she said, calling it tedious. “But I’ve been simulating sex for seven hours straight right now, and I’m over it.”

For anyone held at gunpoint and forced to see Fifty Shades, you would know that the daughter of Melanie Griffin and Don Johnson wasn’t exactly into it to begin with, with plenty of critics saying the film was boring and there was no chemistry between the leads. 

Maybe those straps are just a bit too tight.
