Kinkly explains Red Room of Pain

The Red Room of Pain is where Christian Grey introduces the novel's female protagonist, Anastasia Steele, to the tools and toys of BDSM. After the "Fifty Shades" trilogy became a major bestseller, people started making Red Rooms of their own in their homes - or at least shopping for enough toys for a Red Drawer of Pain.
