Quote:I mentioned gay sex because you are gay and that's you're opinion of sex in movies.

LOL First off I'm asexual. So I am not interested in sex at all. And two, again I was talking about how sex was portrayed in movies, which has nothing to do with my personal preferences or practices. Sex period. As portrayed in movies period. Got it?
If you're not interested in sex at all, why would you have any valid opinion on how it's depicted in movies?
Personally, I'm fine with how sex is portrayed, as I don't find it terribly disparate from real life. Again, sex is what you make it. But I guess you wouldn't know that.

LOL Why would being interested in having sex make my opinion on how it is depicted in movies any more valid? Do I have to want to commit a crime to have a valid opinion on how crime is depicted. Do I have to want to do drugs to have a valid opinion on how drug addiction is depicted? Of course not. As usual you reason like 5 yr old.
No, it simply follows that you'd need some experience to know whether the depiction was overrated or idealized.
For example, I can tell you about how well drugs like marijuana or LSD are depicted, but I can't tell you how well cocaine, meth, prostitution, homosexual sex, etc. are depicted... because I have no experience with them. I can try to imagine, but that's about it.

But why are you talking about crime? You can have an opinion about whether something is illegal or immoral without having experienced it. But it seems like a really strange analogy to compare crime with sex. Maybe that's part of your pathology with not being interested in sex. @_@

I've had plenty of sex. You said that because I don't have the desire for it makes me disqualified from knowing if it is realistically depicted or not. And just like I don't need to want to do drugs to judge whether addiction is realistically depicted, neither does desiring to have sex confer on me some special wisdom about how well movies capture it. Sexual desire is very specific and subjective, and is not a basis for judging whether sex itself is being realistically portrayed. In fact it would logically have the effect of warping one's view of any general representations of it cinema, since sex is so varied and diverse in all of its manifestations.
Okay, so you were just always bad at the sex. Got it. No wonder you don't like it.
You would really enjoy life better if you wouldn't always try to put posters down for no reason. Honest discussion is always more constructive than agenda-laden criticism. Just a tip..
Try taking your own advice, hypocrite.
Nope...you were the one attacking my statements and turning it into a gay thing. I wasn't even talking to you. Do better troll..
No, you took harmless statements as a personal attack to justify your own. I merely said that a gay man would know how well gay sex was depicted better than a straight man. And that I simply disagreed with your opinion of sex in movies in general.

As I've said before, disagreement is not an attack.
