Just Talking Sex...
talking!
In another girl's blog (not at Joeuser), she was idly writing about Lord of The Rings (the movie) and said that the movie could have garnered a better female response if the focus was changed from those hardy hobits and war-mongering men to the ethereal dreaminess of Eowyn, Arwen and Legolas. Instead of time spent on the war fields, the camera would be pointed in Lorien's direction where all the elves and other beauties would spend night after sultry night braiding each other's long, glossy hair, singing sensuous versions of the history of their people, viewing everything by dimmed and hazy light. She outlined such a fantasy of the ultimate on-going slumber party where everything was done lazily, with quiet passion, and reverence.
Yeah, it was kind of funny, but also interesting to see how a female perspective could automatically mean soft, lush, and gentle. Note that Legolas was included in the imagined scenario, but his prowess with a bow and arrow or a sharp knife was never mentioned. Just his dreamy looks. His masculinity seemed devoid in this setting.
Imajinit had a response to my previous article that discussed what 'nice guys' did, and how certain acts of a sexual nature that were desired by the same women that went for them was not in tune to what he thought would be considered something that 'nice guys' would do. Link I don't know. Does wanting to take a more assertive position mean that you are not behaving 'nicely'? If someone is more demanding and innovative of how their needs be met is it a more masculine quality? When does a sensuous moment turn into something more deviant? (If enjoying sensual
moments in situations other than the 'norm'?)
Just rambling, idly on...
I'm with ya Nic... I don't think I need to repeat what I wrote in response to your other blog...
