What do you do when a love scene comes on in a movie your watching?

Am I the only one who is going to be honest on here (except Primus, I think… :017: love your awesome sense of humour)
I used to get an erection, but sadly I can hardly raise a smile these days. However, I don’t mind to see a couple in the clinches and I certainly wouldn’t look the other way. You might as well be blind if you take exception to a bit of ‘rumpy pumpy’ it’s everywhere you look. Call me one of those modern woke names (homophobic?) if you like, but I do draw the line at two blokes kissing and getting it on. I’ve had to avert my eyes while watching the gay’s on Coronation Street a few times before I switch off… The pigeons nesting in the trees across the road are up to it every evening while I’m watching telly. My, they do have an appetite…Was a time when I could have bonked them under the table…(not with a pigeon mind)… :sunglasses:

Actually I’m not ‘homophobic’…I just looked it up, and according to the Cambridge dictionary they define it as:-

Meaning of homophobic in English

homophobic
adjective
coming from or having a fear or dislike of gay people or queer people. People who do not fit a society’s traditional ideas about gender or sexuality.

I don’t hate anyone including gay people, I’ve had some very good friends who were gay.
I don’t fear Gay people either. They can do what they like, but I think it’s inapropriate showing sexualy engaging stuff with gays on a TV soap, especially before the watershed.

I bet that made you spit your early morning coffee out…

Anybody see The 7.39 film starring David Morrissey and Sheridan Smith? It has been on TV. The build up to the bonking is great. They travel on the 7.39 train every morning and notice each other after a while. He is married but bored and she is in a relationship that’s not perfect.

Things develop over some time and then it really gets going! :wink:

I prefer stuff like that rather than when they’re just at it like rabbits from the start.

I remember seeing a film some time ago with Alan Alda about a salesman and saleswoman who met at the annual bash for all the salespeople. After an evening of scintillating conversation they went to bed together in the hotel where the function was being held…

It happened again the following year. They never kept in touch throughout the year, but just met up each year for some nookie. The film followed their liaisons each year as they discussed their lives and families. A thinking mans/woman’s film, but I can’t for the life of me remember it’s name…Well worth a watch though.

I don’t mind bonking scenes at all, I don’t mind lesbian love scenes but I do have to look away if two men are kissing or making out.

Can’t help it, that is just me.

Simply not good enough… I’m sure there’s a course/ training programme available that you may be enlightened.

I’m not very interested in lesbian love scenes, but I have no problem with male/female love scenes if I fancy the lead actor. I wasn’t impressed with most of the Game of Throne love scenes for this reason, but the John Snow /Ygritte love scene was quite something. You could feel the chemistry & sparks between then and now of course they are married.

Hi

Any love scene which includes Ms Kidman is definitely going to be watched by me.

A street Bird is always more appealing than a TV star, for some reason. :icon_wink:

I used to find bonking scenes quite embarrassing when my young adult stepsons were at home - so did they, I think!
It’s not the kind of stuff you want to watch with your parents or children.

If a film shows brief graphic sex scenes when I’m home alone, I can live with it - I still avert my eyes, though - maybe pick up my iPad and check out the the threads on OFF until the gasping and groaning has subsided! :rofl:
If it gets too graphic, I go into “Barbara Woodhouse mode” and switch off the TV or change channel! :rofl:

Yes, those times are good for a comfort break or a cup of tea. :grinning:

What makes you think that the others are not honest, Bob? I never minded these scenes and still enjoy them especially if I like the actress and nips can be seen. Don’t mind lesbian scenes either but wouldn’t want to see longer gay scenes. I don’t leave the room or look away, though.

Whatever lights your fire I suppose :wink:

It’s a forum Dachs, and can be viewed by anyone, even none members, and people don’t want you to get the wrong impression or risk being called a ‘perv’…
I don’t much care and prefer honesty over what people think. I wouldn’t want anyone to be disappointed or get the wrong impression of me if we met. I guess I’m just an open book…
I don’t mind lesbian scenes (two women is fine) but when it’s two blokes on a soap before the watershed it gets a bit annoying. At least if we were warned about it we could make the decision to turn it off.

On reflection I’m struggling to think of any love scenes that are in my favourite films.

The only one that occurs to me is in Quadrophenia which is probably not up everyone’s alley.

Many years ago I was driving my then teenage daughter and her friends somewhere in my people mover, I was listening to a cassette of Frank Zappa’s Zoot Allures. Afterwards my daughter storms up to me, “Don’t you ever play Franks Zappa when my friends are in the car again”. I asked why, “THAT track”. Turns out she was referring to “The Torture never Stops” so I told her the title. “Dad, it’s Frank Zappa, it’s always about sex”. Perceptive beyond her years.

After that I was careful to only play the Beatles when her friends were in the car.
