This curiously un-steamy trailer spends just a few fleeting moments on Christian Grey's particular fetishes. The rest is all expensive private aircrafts and long, circuitous conversations in which Christian Grey refuses to just come out and tell Anastasia that he's into S&M. (See? Was that so hard?)

Fifty Shades of Grey hits theaters on Valentine's Day.
