stupid expression ruining sex scenes
(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)what the actual fuck.
Saw it once, thought "..." and just moved on.
And now, I've seen it over. And over. And OVER again in fic, across fandoms, across anything that makes any sense.
The only reason I can think of for touching a anyone's anus that ISN'T sexual would be a medical exam - but that makes little sense for characters that are in their twenties or so, and even LESS sense for characters in time periods before that would have been a medical thing.
In the grip of lust, when somebody's tried something with me for the first time, my instinct has never been to compare it to all the UN-sexy times that could have been done and think "oooh, for the first time that's ... sexual!" It was more along the lines of "yes, please, do that again."
Now every time I see it, my mind leaves an otherwise pleasurable porn to start wondering why the character has "unsexual" anal touching to compare fingering to. "Well, he's not at the age where a prostate exam would be routine, so maybe it was palpation for ... hm... appendicitis? hemorrhoids? ... whatever it is, I hope it wasn't serious and they're ok now, and ...." and the mood is gone.
Somebody make this make sense to me.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)As for wiping... obviously, everyone touches themselves that way. But- the last thing I'd be thinking about when having sex with anybody would be "oh, wow, that's different from when I touch those things for hygiene." So, if that's what writers are thinking when they say that, it's still a pretty big mood breaker. That'd be like comparing a first kiss mentally to "wow, a tongue in my mouth, that's just like when I chew my food, but SEXY".

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)idk maybe you focus on the word sexually too much, if somebody told me nobody has ever touched my anus sexually id say yea that's true nobody has? i wouldnt be thinking of times my anus touched things nonsexually, i would be thinking of times my anus has been touched sexually which is 0 times and agreeing that hasn't happened

Re: stupid expression ruining sex scenes
(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)I guess it's possible the writer thinks it's a routine medical thing that happens all the time and that's why they added the 'sexually' to the end? Otherwise I have no idea.
Re: stupid expression ruining sex scenes
(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)But tacking "sexually" on there implies non-sexual touching... *sigh * I blame the constant use of the prostate exam as a joke in stand-up routines and comedy; it makes people think they're just done aaaaall the time.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)... I guess this either means we're really attuned to language or that we read way too much erotica.
