Firefighters in London are concerned that there could be a “spike” in emergency calls from people stuck in handcuffs and other sex toys after watching the new “Fifty Shades of Grey” film, released worldwide this week.
It would seem that E L James’ bestselling erotic novels have inspired more people to experiment sexually with sometimes embarrassing — and painful — results.
London Fire Brigade says that incidents where sexual adventurers get trapped in cuffs and rings have been steadily increasing year-on-year since the first “Fifty Shades of Grey” book was released in 2011.

The brigade reports that each incident costs British taxpayers at least $452 (£295) and estimates incidents have cost a total of nearly $615,000 (£400,000).
To avoid awkward incidents, London Fire Brigade advises people that if they are going to use handcuffs, keep the keys handy.
