yeah, i couldn't take the old broad blowing her husband.
it was nice seeing Sonya Walger from Lost naked. most of the explicit stuff was done with prosthetics though...
So
thats how they got away with the handjob scene..I thought that guys dick looked a kinda plastic.
But yeah..wow. Lots of graphic sexual stuff here. That first sex scene with the younger couple had to be real. The way she was grinding, and the fact that you saw his balls exposed with no shaft presumably indicates that the only place his cock could have been was buried in her love chasm.
I know as of the last 5 years, a lot of more independent, art house cinema has been incorporating real sexual acts into scenes (Brown Bunny, 9 Songs etc), and while I'm the last guy to complain about having quality wank material, I do feel that not all of it is necessarily art for art's sake. TMYLM seems to (no pun intended) straddle that line as well.
There were approximately 2 cocks, one set of balls, 3 sets of tits, 2 masturbation scenes (one assisted, including a prosthetic erection blasting loads), 3 coitus scenes, and one geriatric oral scene. In ONE episode. I mean I understand the whole "Romance novels can be as graphic as they want, so why can't film/TV?" argument, and I'm not entirely opposed to cutting away or fading out of sensual scenes simply to avoid being offensive, but thats still a LOT of graphic sexual content for a one hour episode of a show about relationships.
Will they all be that graphic? I guess we'll have to wait and see, and I imagine that keeping such a spunkerific pace will be difficult, to say the least (refractory period of one episode?? :lol ). The rest of the show seemed fairly engaging, and they managed to get some genuine moments through the potrayal of how couples interact, particularly about delicate subject matter. The old lady blowing her husband was almost completely without context, however, and there were some other oddities (Sonogram table right next to an open office window overlooking a highway? Why can't they just hardwire a feed of your labia straight to an outdoor jumbotron?) that kept it from being as engaging as it could have been. In other words, it doesn't appear to be a throwaway like John From Retardville, but I wasn't as mezmerized as I was by Rome, Soprano's etc.
Anyway, I'll probably be horny enough by the time the next episode rolls around to forgive any ills the show may possess. Sex? You think you got sex, Showtime?? Eat your heart out, Californication!!
