"Saving Grace" with Bondage and Spanking

Kinky Sex and Cops

In most cop-oriented television series, kinky sex is left to the criminals rather than the cops. Not so on TNT's "Saving Grace." This is the first series I've found with an exceedingly fresh script that never repeats itself or becomes boring. Despite the angel aspect, it promotes life in a realistic manner that shoves it ahead of the bland television line up of the past few years.

Most people have to turn to Nip/Tuck or soaps to get a little over the edge kink. I appreciate shows like Nip/Tuck for the shock factor alone and the nerve to put things on televisions that were always forbidden. I like the idea of being able to watch anything I want on television without censorship. And I do prefer variety, kink, nudity and such when presented in a real manner like is offered through "Saving Grace."

Take for instance the episode, A Language of Angels. In the television series, Holly Hunter plays an Oklahoma cop. Holly Hunter is about 50 years old and has a tight body that she is not afriad to flaunt. Nor is she afraid to offer herself up for a very kinky scene. In this episode, it's insinuated that Grace has picked up a one night stand who turns out to be quite kinky. As a cop, it seems she willingly submits to a night of rough kinky sex that includes being thrown around and tied up. It ends unpleasantly as Grace is found by her partner still tied up.

In another episode, Take Me Somewhere, Earl, there is a knock at the door. A cop friend of Grace's has the information she is seeking, but she has to pay a price for it. He wants to be spanked as his reward. Some viewers (like me) found this scene amusing, while others found it disgusting. I'm sure my response was the expected one or the one the writers were trying to elicit.

It's always nice to see the hidden kink of America so blatantly exposed on television. And to see it exposed in the livingroom of a cop -- well, we all love a man (or woman *grin*) in uniform, don't we? It humanizes police in a way that probably scares the shit out of most people *lol*.

Sadly, this wonderful series is on its last leg. It's being cancelled. The last of the series will run Summer 2010. This makes me wonder? Did they take it too far? Did the mix of angel, spanking and bondage push religious viewers to the edge? If the show had been based solely on cops in Oklahoma with no "angel" aspect, I bet it would have lasted several more seasons.

Oh well, another one bites the dust! Despite the apparent florish of BDSM in commercials, television series and movies, it is still considered a nasty perversion. When will BDSM become part of the norm rather than the kinky, illegal subject of fright used to secure arrests and paint innocent people as kinky perverts and nutcases? I live for the day when "missionary" sex becomes a kinky perversion and we can be the naysayers when it's thrown in our faces.
