I've never had a contract with any dom or sub I've played with. We talk about things we're interested in and negotiate. Some things are on the table, others are taken off the table as not being acceptable.
The contract in the story isn't the problem, though. Plenty of D/s relationships do that so they have a written out guideline, and that's perfectly okay. The problem is that in the book, Ana doesn't sign the contract for probably 3/4 of the books, but Christian treats her like she already has, exerts control on her as if she has signed it, and punishes her as if she has. She has not agreed to these things at all, and he is pushing her into it. That's the problem with the story.
