Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me

Last night, I was blown away by Torchwood. Not only are they brave, but they presented this scene with sensitivity. (Okay, so the music is from Edward Scissorhands - my all time favourite love story - but the sentiment was brilliant.) I couldn't help but be impressed by the BBC for capturing this integral part of Captain Jack's personality. Bravo!


I have a question for you guys out there. A coworker said that when this scene came up, her husband had to look away. Watch the scene and tell me... Does this kind of scene make you feel uncomfortable. I sincerely hope that it doesn't but even if it did, I'd appreciate knowing if you did and why?

I mean it seems alright to watch two women going at it, so why the weird feelings about something like this. Most women don't get all squeamish at watching two women but I get the feeling that the guys don't feel the same about guy on guy action. This scene was far from raunchy but it made at least one man squirm. (I always wonder if it has something to do with men being afraid that they'd enjoy it - or maybe it's just that they're afraid that someone would make an incorrect assumption about them.) How about you?

Personally, I thought it was really hot...

Well, I was pretty much fine with the whole thing. Let me try and answer your questions though...

I like to think of myself as fairly open-minded but I must admit it is a tad unsettling to watch two guys make out.

I'd say I'm put off by male-on-male love scenes for the complete opposite reason you have put forth -- not because I'm afraid I'd enjoy it, but because I'm quite sure I wouldn't. Not to offend anybody of the homosexual persuasion, but for me, watching two guys make out like that is like watching scatplay.

Sure, some people are into scatplay, and they're more than welcome to do it, and I'll even watch it without ranting bible verses about how they will burn in hell, but it is still kind of gross because it's not something I'm into. I would not be offended if a homosexual found a man and a woman making out to be off-putting for the very same reason -- it's something that they're not interested in.

Watching two girls make out is different because I happen to like girls in general and I like making out with girls. If I get to see two girls make out, well then that just increases the number of girls in the shot. Personally I'm more into watching guys make out with girls but barring that, I'll take two girls over two guys any day since I'm not attracted to men.

As for women being comfortable watching two girls make out... wouldn't that be your department to explain why it doesn't bother you?

Oooh Matt. Do you really want to know why it doesn't bother women? Hmmm. In my opinion, I guess I just don't see the problem. I would watch girls, girls & guys and guys so I don't know if it would be a realistic representation of the female side of the argument. I guess because there are many out there that think the female body is much more aesthetic than the male one (yes, I've heard that). It may or may not be valid.

However, I think there is something more to this. Women understand more about women and I guess that means that they would be more aware as to what would be pleasurable to them. Unlike men who have a whole different set of parts to be aware of what turns them on. So, I guess that part of the thing with women is that another woman would be more sensitive to what women want.

That's what I think. Perhaps there are other women out there who feel differently. I know that there are women out there who would feel turned off watching women together.

Personally, I am not one of them. Perhaps I have loose morals when it comes to that...
