The sex scene.......


That sex scene between Jack and Hannah, oh my god! How awful can sex be? There was no loving, no touching, no nothing......just condom on, straight in, and all over in 2 seconds. If this is how young people see sex, I pity them. And worse that Jack was waxing lyrical about Hannah's ass only 5 minutes earlier, yet didn't even look at it during the scene. Sad.

Wasn't that the point?

reply

What was the point? Lack of feeling or involvement is no excuse for gratuously bad sex. Even being in a movie is no excuse! (Unless it's a movie about how people have sex just like animals, which I don't think this was)

reply

Not all sex is epic. Take 2 drunk people, who just met and have no spark, who are just having sex to mask their pain and what you saw is what you get.

reply

Right, and he had a simple need and she was lesbian with a different need. It was a pretty boring transition, not a love scene.

reply

Your post is great. Too bad your insight was completely disregarded by the OP.

I just watched the movie Tiny Furniture and there is an equally short and not-great sex scene in that movie (probably worse). I've come to conclusion that sex scenes have to be made short in movies like these because you don't want to be watching two people *beep* for 15-20 mins, it's not porn after all.

Other movies pull it off by showing parts of the sex scene thereby creating the illusion of stretching out time. However in indie dramas like this the scene has to be done in one take in order to keep it immersive.

Actually, now that I think about it the movie "The Night Porter" (awesome movie!) also had a kindof awkward sex scene, however in the case of that movie it was not due to the shortness of the session. Instead the awkwardness was caused by what they could show on camera (it's a 1974 movie).

Tiny Furniture sex scene...way worse. :)

When you get up in the morning, how do you decide what shade of black to wear? (Shallow Grave)

reply

She is a lesbian and felt nothing
he was drunk did not know her at all and shot early.
ram bang thank you Mam it was over.
Did she want a cuddle? NO !

The whole point was it was a minute
with no love at all. He finished she got what she
needed ' his sperm ' lets sleep.

Love film save us from the suits.

Jack's character in general was an unrealistic and badly written character.

He is a stereotypical nice guy from the perspective of a woman (Lynn Shelton wrote the character). This accounts for why he is so unbelievably terrible in bed.

reply

I don't follow your logic. Why would a woman's idea of a nice guy be someone who is bad in bed?

reply

1.) Women think bad guys are better in bed than nice guys (I think?)

2.) The woman's perspective had some feminist-lesbian undertones.

reply

Good point.

I think that it would be unrealistic that he would jizz that early. Usually that happens when somebody is really excited and really happy just to get in. It seemed too akward for him to get turned on that quickly. I think the more likely scenario would be that it would get uncomfortable and akward and he couldn't finish.

It's a comedy. Sex scenes are always bad or awkward in comedies, or over in 10 seconds. In Friends with Benefits Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman have sex for about 10 seconds and Natalie Portman has an orgasm after about 3 thrusts from Ashton.

Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.

You are correct. However, it is a distinction without a difference.:-)

reply

Speaking from experience, it can actually happen. Women can obviously orgasm multiple times but they can also have the equivalent of a premature ejaculation.

reply

Okay, but women don't have a refractory period so what's your point?

reply

Is this thread serious...? Not all of sex is romantic, dude. People often *beep* for the sake of releasing their sexual urge.

reply

Well if this is a release of sexual urge, I can think of better ways of doing it. It didn't even look like fun, for either of them. Be animalistic sure, but hey, you can make it enjoyable maybe!

reply

I don't think its how all young people see sex, its just how it happened between those two. And yes it was pretty awful, over within 5 SECONDS! is that a new record! He must have been unbelievably embarrassed, no wonder he kept telling her not to say anything, i think he was more ashamed at having her find out just how quickly it was over yikes!

But yes women do talk - at some point her sister would have told her what happened in detail and they'd laugh about it for a long time - if any guy was that quick with me i'd announce it to the world!

I don't even care...

And if he said anything about his hookup with you, he'd be a pig with a profound lack of a gentleman's discretion.

Amy: I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!

reply

Well so what, you men have had it too good for far too long. We deserve a little pay back time. So quite frankly I love the fact that we can degrade men openly, accuse them of sexual abuse, slap them without being arrested for it and fake our orgasms. Not so smug being a male now are you





Ashmi any question

reply

Yeah if you want to equate women's lib to shouting out the details of your numerous hook ups go right ahead.

Amy: I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!

I will, I don't need your damn permission!

Coz lifes too short to listen to Madlib

reply

I believe that this happens quite often between two drunk people
young ppl might see that or might see something completely different or might even ask or read abt it to learn.


"It is never about what happened, it is only how you look at it!"

reply

Are you serious? Hannah only did it to try and get pregnant; they were both drunk; and Jack did not have long-lasting stamina. Oh and they only just met each other that night. If you expected Titanic-style sex then you were watching the wrong movie.


You heart me? What is that? Is that like I love you for pussies?

reply

The fact that he was drunk was a factor. Excessive drinking can go either one of two ways for men. He may cum quicker because of a lack of self-control, or it can make ejaculation more difficult because of the loss of sensation.

Personally, I thought the scene was good and more realistic. They barely knew each other and they were both drunk, there wasn't going to be much chemistry there and being intimate in the ways you speak of usually comes when you know the person better and/or are beginning/already in a sexual relationship.
