Nice to know we have such a mature and open-minded individual pulling the world's strings. This is what I don't get, and I'm surprised to see a few TFPers expressing basically the same thing.
Why can't you abstract the love act up and outside of gender boundaries? Why would it make you uncomfortable to see two people -
people, mind - making love on screen? How is it different to a male/female or female/female act? It's not there to titillate you, it's there to advance the story.
I find it especially amusing, because I'd lay even money on those who say they're 'uncomfortable' with 'man-on-man' thinking lesbians are 'hot'.
JustJess: Glad you enjoyed it. I was just saying this isn't really my genre, love stories have never really bothered me, unless they're a sub-plot in a movie with wider concerns. Just my cup of tea.
