Damn. I keep forgetting how much sex there is in my favorite gay movies. I've already run into this with Velvet Goldmine, when I tried to show it to everyone and anyone including my grandma, and "oh, ooops, right there IS an orgy scene... and that scene... and that one." Anyway, I just asked my professor to order another gay-themed film for our last class, and was browsing clips of it on Youtube... and again, I totally forgot that it kinda starts and ends with rather a lot of eroticism. Ooops?

Make 'em squirm! They'll get over it.
However, my favorite gay movie has only one sex scene, and it's between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis.
if they're squirming in their seats, how is that a problem?... oh, you mean the uncomfortable, not-turned-on kind of squirming?
whatever.
@strangerbox: Haha, I can watch the audience and try to document the different types of squirming!
What class is this for? A standard film class? Are you a student or a TA?
Oh, Tom Cruise might be looney tunes now, but Legend was awesome.
I was squirming in my seat while watching a het scene from 1972 with Donald Sutherland than other day. Oh, dear Lord. It wasn't all the thrusting and nakedness. It was the ridiculous background music. JAZZ FLUTE.
you "keep forgetting," but should we believe it's a coincidence that your favorite gay movies all have it? I'm onto you, Salomea!
Har har, Scurvs. I really do keep forgetting though, and then people are like. "I saw that movie, it was so hot!" and I get disgusted with them and lose half of my respect for 'em.

But people should be able to handle it even if they are undergrads, right? Or is everyone going to be squirming in their seats?
