London: The London Fire Brigade said on Monday it was facing a rising number of callouts for people trapped in handcuffs, blaming it on a best-selling erotic novels Fifty Shades of Grey effect.
In the past three years the fire service has rescued 79 people unable to escape handcuffs.
I dont know whether its the Fifty Shades effect, but the number of incidents involving items like handcuffs seems to have gone up, fire officer Dave Brown said in a statement.
Im sure most people will be fifty shades of red by the time our crews arrive to free them.
British author EL James has sold more than 70 million copies of her erotic romance novels, a trilogy starting with the sado-masochistic tale Fifty Shades of Grey.
The fire brigade urged those using handcuffs in the bedroom to always keep the keys handy.
