The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom

So this is supposed to be empowering women by them becoming a slave to a demanding master male, supposedly teaching her about her empowerment of being able to have sex with whomever she wants??? Laughable, she is never to wear panties in his presence, demands complete obedience by the woman and she must always obey him no matter what and never question him???? Unbelievable, she sold out her dignity and her womanhood!!! She got used!!!

Lifetime's "The Secret Life of a Single Mom", focuses on the wife in a broken family of four and plays out like a watered down version of "50 Shades of Grey". The husband is secondary and treated like a jerk even though he's the one paying all the bills before and after the divorce. The wife is treated like something of a put-upon heroine as she goes from one bed to another on hubby's dime, until she finds redemption and a paying job in the arms of a great guy/pervert who demeans her in ways her husband never would. Given that this is a Lifetime movie, it's target audience is women, but I think every guy contemplating marriage should watch it as a cautionary tale. Lest they too fall prey to a passive aggressive mooch who gives her best self to everyone but you

"Delaine" (Ashley Jones) is a young mother of two who has a husband who not only verbally abuses her but has also carried on an affair behind her back. Yet even though she is devastated to learn this news, she continues to try to be the best wife and mother that she can, even though her husband continues to mistreat her. Then one day, she meets a man named "Graham" (Jeff Roop) who offers her support and seems to genuinely care about her as a person, to the point that she eventually files for divorce from her husband. Unfortunately, not long afterward, she discovers that Graham is also having an affair with another woman, and this demolishes all of her hopes and plans. Yet even then, she continues to do the best that she can until one day she comes across a man on a dating website, which stirs her passions and leads her into a world of sexual submissiveness that she has never experienced. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a film that was clearly ill-suited for a made-for-television format, mainly because of the subject matter at hand. It wasn't erotic, and it wasn't that romantic either. Additionally, the script was much too tame as well. In any case, I didn't especially care for this film, and for that reason, I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

The movie tries to be preachy on the subject of Dom-Sub. But none of it is explored in it. Then the movie tries to be preachy on women sexual freedom, but the only thing they show is a rebound sex (no visuals) with a 24 yearl old. If u want info on BDSM, read faq's related to it.

Movie is totally avoidable, not worth for even the horniest of u out there.

The other reviewers are missing the point. It is not a porno. It is more if you take the time to really feel what the movie is showing. Taking a doormat person and teaching how they are in power. Showing that each person can be a strong person with some training and development. Listen to the message being given not looking for the sex. This movie is a teaching of a doormat, allowing men to control and make them feel lowly, and showing there is more. It is not about sex but becoming sexual. Opening the mind to see other options are available to those willing to open their minds to see the power available. it is a good movie for women and men looking for more in their lives. With other books out there about this lifestyle this movie has a good message if you hear the message given.
