Let's Talk About Sex

Everyone's favorite subject, right? Well, as previously discussed I try to be open and receptive to pretty much anything.
Tonight my ladies and I went to see Magic Mike XXL. Damn. I mean, da-yum. Was the plot riveting and frought with realistic scenarios? No. Was the caliber of acting superb? Meh. There were some big names, and some beautiful people, but this was not a MENSA meeting by any stretch of the imagination. This was a movie meant to visually exploit otherwise talented actors, and entertain audiences with a benign plot.

So, why are we talking about this lackluster flick? We are talking about it, because the sexuality of women is finally being acknowledged in Hollywood. Because flawless men like Matt Bomer and Channing Tatum are willing to commit to a film that serves no other purpose than to give women (and some men) something purely sexual to entertain themselves.

I have lost count of the number of movies I have seen with my husband over the years that are riddled with gratuitous, scantily clad women just for scantily clad women's sake.

Much like 50 Shades of Grey (boo hiss somewhere else, haters! She's fucked up, he's fucked up. They're kinky, and in love, and they embrace the fuckedupness, move along) Hollywood has come a long way in producing films that have obvious actual themes to them that can attract men and women. No, we didn't see Christian Grey's penis, but we didn't see Matt or Channing's either, and we don't need to. Hollywood is learning a lot about women through the successes of these films and I anticipate more female friendly gratuitous sex in our future!  What a great time to be alive!
