I’m flying back out today. It’s been a lovely visit. Obviously, I’ve got a lot to share, hehehe.
In the meanwhile, a little post-holiday tip: Don’t agree to go see this movie with family. In addition to just not being very good, you’ll end up having to uncomfortably squirm in your seat through scenes like this for three hours.
I’d honestly forgotten this was the movie this little scene came from and then realized it halfway in and was like CRAP.
So me, for real.
Reason #3 Why Ivy Needs a Big Sis
Because you need somebody’s hand to hold when Daddy finds out,
and somebody who’ll wink and say it was worth it.
Why weren’t you there? Why can’t you do one single thing you say you’re gonna do? You act like you want me to come see you, but you don’t know how to have me here. You don’t know how to deal with it, you don’t know how to even have a conversation with me.
I’ve confessedly never watched Girls. I’m terrible, I know.
I had dinner with a friend last night and opened up about some stuff that’s been on my mind, so she did kind of the tritest thing ever and referenced this episode.
I’m a masochist so I looked up this gifset because I couldn’t bring myself to actually watch it. Ugh.
Whatever.
subtied : Sensi Pearl and James Deen for Sex and Submission [video]
Haven’t watched this one but the captions make it seem like a genuine (and nicely uncontrived) check-in during a scene…well done.
Definitely a check-in, and having seen this video I can tell you that it’s not the only one and that they seamlessly integrate into the plot. It’s one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen.
I’ve experienced check-ins mid-scene, and honestly? They were really sexy. Super touching, really intimate, and affirmation for both parties.
You don’t have to stop everything, it’s not about breaking character. It’s just an acknowledgment that what’s happening is intense, maybe difficult, and it gives you both the opportunity to acknowledge that and reinforce the connection before you plunge back in.
This is one of my favorite porns to watch. And I usually don’t really enjoy most video porn.
And I realize now that it’s because of the way the whole scene is framed. It’s not just the “two pornstars doing a locker-room fantasy consensual nonconsent” scene. It’s a boyfriend and girlfriend, played by two pornstars, performing one of her fantasies. And he checks in with her and makes sure she’s okay.
Ugh, leave it to me to get cheesy about a porn.
Happy Easter, bunnies.
I know, Sweetheart, I know.
Life’s so hard sometimes.
Just some facts.
Don’t make me have to beg.
