Since production for "Fifty Shades Darker," the sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey," has not started, fans do not know what scenes will be included from the book series written by E.L. James.

Although fans love watching the relationship between Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) unfold, there are certain sexual themes that might be better off left to the imagination.

Here are two aspects from the books that should be omitted from the movie:

1. Spanking

The "Fifty Shades" franchise follows the sexual relationship between Grey and Steele. In the first movie, Grey introduces Steele to the world of BDSM. Even though BDSM is very prevalent throughout the books, it does not mean that all aspects of it should be included. Spanking, in particular, can be extremely difficult to watch, especially if it is for punishment, which - Spoilers Alert* - Grey does in the first movie. After the intense scene, Steele walks out on him.

2. Sex Toys

Scenes involving sex toys might also be very difficult to incorporate onto the big screen. Although sex toys have been around for some time now, watching them being used can still make people uncomfortable.

Here are two aspects that should not be omitted from the movie:

1. Grey's Past

In order to understand Grey's character and why he does certain things, people must first understand his past. In the first movie, Grey's past is barely talked about, which adds to his mysteriousness. However, in the second movie, his past should be mentioned so that the audience can connect with him and understand him better.

2. Supporting characters

Supporting characters, Jack Hyde, Leila Williams and Elena Lincoln/ Mrs. Robinson, should all be added to the movie and not for just one scene each - like the first film did with Grey's sister, Mia played by Rita Ora. In the books, all three characters affect the relationship between Grey and Steele.

Hyde is Steele's boss. He is instantly attracted to Steele and poses a threat to Grey. Williams and Lincoln are a part of Grey's past. These two women test the strength of Grey and Steele's relationship.

The movie, which does not have a director yet, is scheduled to be released on Feb. 10, 2017.
