About

I Have a Pleasure Room is an exploitable meme featuring a screenshot from the 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey and the text "I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see?" above a photograph of a location that the meme's author would enjoy.

Origin

On February 13th, 2015, the film Fifty Shades of Grey was released in the United States. In the film, Christian Grey introduces Anastasia Steele (portrayed by Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, respectively) to his "pleasure room," a secret location where he keeps a variety of objects used for sexual gratification. He says, "That room is much more about pleasure. I promise you."

Later that year, on November 16th, 2015, an anonymous 9GAG ^[1] user posted a screenshot from the film with the caption "I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see?" Below the picture, they posted a photograph of an Assassin's Creed-themed bedroom (shown below).
