Only came here because one of your long-standing members whom I interact with on another part of the internet referred me to what I am assured is an excellent dismantling of Owen Jones over his alleged misogyny in The Guardian and in other places and this thread's title was headlining and completely diverted my attention (quelle surprise!).
Can't disagree with any of the observations and comparisons but would add that on-screen sex (in mainstream productions; let's not even go near porn) is, as observed, totally unrealistic - no fumbling, no awkwardness, no stuck fly zips, no Bridget Jones pants, no "Oi! Take your bloody socks off, you horror!", no "You need to wash that before you've any hope of getting a blowie!" and all the other points raised already.
But have you noticed that a couple will go at it hammer and tongs all night, exploring every naked inch of each others bodies and then she'll coyly wrap the sheet around her like she's mummifying herself before toddling off to the 'fridge, "powder room" or whatever? I mean, what is there that he hasn't seen? My partners have all just got up and wondered off to the bathroom in the altogether, then wondered back. As is also my wont.
And in pretty much every Hollywood production at the very least a sexual encounter must, by law, include a "his naked, waxed butt in the moonlight" shot. Or is that just my imagination?
Speaking of butts - or, specifically, assholes - I must go and find that swipe at Owen Jones so I can get out of your hair and leave you all in peace.
