We’ve seen it many times. They start kissing, and then start to rip each other’s clothes off as fast as they can, and end up totally naked in about 30 seconds, including the man’s socks.
Never happened to me. A couple of times, I started kissing a woman and it got passionate very quickly, and we were fucking in about a minute, but I never got my pants off. They were just halfway down, as was her dress. I did not take the time to take my socks off.
Ummm?
Movies and real life are not the same. Just sayin’
Cinema could be worse. C.f. the 3-way scene in CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
I usually leave my socks, Timbs, and undershirt on.
And how 'bout those couples who start making out during a romantic candlelit dinner?
(Or even right after… Give me a woman who’ll say “Umm, excuse me, but we’ll never get the sauce off these plates if we don’t at least get them soaking in the sink. Five minutes of cleanup, then passion.”)
Or worse, before the romantic candlelit dinner! So, what about the châteaubriand in the oven, and the potatoes getting cold on the table?
Another trope from television is the “clear the entire table with one swipe of the hand and flop down on the dinner table amid the food and broken wine glasses”, but I doubt that ever happened in real life.
Time is compressed in movies. 30 seconds for everything but socks is not a problem. Socks will add 12 seconds minimum assuming the couple are still entangled. All of this depends on what they are wearing though. Some women can be dressed in formal attire and have on only two articles of clothing and shoes. I’m usually wearing well worn tube socks that are loose enough to step on the toe with my other foot and just yank my foot out in less than a second. You see this in period pieces occasionally where it should take at least 10 to 15 minutes to get everyone undressed.
Back in the real world though, if we’re that hot and ready to go we don’t bother taking all our clothes off.
You can leave your hat on, from what I understand.
Or how about people rolling all over the place in coitus. Or roll off the bed onto the floor without missing a beat? Its possible…but…
Oh, and of all movies…The January Man…is the only one I’ve seen be realistic when it showed (I guess we’re being graphic? Right? Ok we’re being graphic)…when it showed a guy pulling out after the loving is done. A combination of “That kind of tickles and I’m trying really hard to not drag myself across your leg”
That 30 seconds scene probably took an hour to film.
When I was younger…
So…different people have sex differently. Huh. Who’d a thunk it?
No matter what…please take your socks off!! Nothing less sexy than a pair of black (or any color socks). It doesn’t take that long to take socks off.
It always takes quite a bit of time for me to remove my complex system of trusses.
Man rips open the woman’s blouse with buttons going everywhere. I think that would get most men punched in the face.
In movies, oral sex is often performed under the covers. That just seems… impractical.
It’s the opposite for me. What I find most jarring is when a couple is shown getting out of bed in the morning after a night of mad passionate love, *and they’re still mostly clothed * - or at least still have their underwear on. When you first jump in the sack, maybe you’re so excited you don’t bother to take everything off, but surely after the first round you’ll shed the rest of your impedimenta. I’m particularly perplexed by guys getting out of bed with their boxer shorts on. Did they never take them off, or did they put them back on sometime during the night?
And when they’re sitting up in bed afterward, why are they both covered up to their armpits with sheets?
Isn’t the man usually only covered up to his waist?
Remorse? Being sober? Too much light?
Now explain why married couples in the 60’s slept in twin beds wearing neck to toe pyjamas…
I don’t sleep well nude, so at some point I’ll pull some shorts on once the fun is over.
