Does The L Word Hold Back On Lesbian Passion?
I think the L Word doesn’t go far enough in exploring lesbianism. Sometimes the sex scenes on the L Word appear fractured and not very sensual. Why is it just insinuated when one woman is stimulating another? Why can’t we actually see the stimulation? Why can’t the show actually “show” the women actually having sex? What is the fear?
The L Word is on cable television so the writers and producers should have more freedom. I don’t understand why hold back on the passion? I think the producers behind the L Word should take the sexuality to the next level and explore the passionate love between women. Although I think this clip between Brenda and Tina is wonderful and totally sexy and cute. It is kind of weird to see Tina not with Bette though. I still think the scene is passionate.

Whats up just lurking through this and had to say something, that show had me hooked like a crack head. I havent watched in a while but I swore Tina was going to get back with Bette, that if bette learned to chill the hell out.
This past season seemed to have an abundance of “stupid” sex scenes. I thought they were tasteless, poorly crafted and just too many of them and surrounded by a sense of unrealism.
Most of the scenes (especially with Shane) are unbearable to watch.
I think there is enormous room for improvement with these scenes.
We are not 10 years old and desiring to look at sex just for the sake of looking at it. So, I think they should stop it with the overabundance of these scenes. They should be placed if there is a reason for their presence and if they move the story forward.
They are yucky, usually.
The scenes, when they do exist, should exist for a reason and definitely need to be directed and crafted better.
And the whole thing with Shane fuking erthing in her path is stupid and unrealistic.
Baby Please I am interested in your comment about some the sex scenes being “tasteless”. I agree that the sex scenes should have a “purpose” not just to “turn” the audience the sex has to relate to the plot.
I actually think the sex scenes have “improved” as the series has progressed. Sex is an important part of the show. I thought the sex was a bit fractured and I wanted to see more passion the love that exists between two women.
They’re cheap, Orville.
There are too many of them. Most are not well done. No imagination. Terrible direction. Boring. Hurried. Two wild beasts. Very carnal. Not sensual or erotic. And so they have become cheap.
I speak in general terms. This is not true for EVERY sex scene, but for many of them.
I feel as if almost all of them are are contrived and juvenile.
They occur way too often (last year, anyway).
It is as if their lives are wholly dependent on sex.
I just think it’s a little much; the huge emphasis on this.
