Dear Hollywood, That Is Not How It Works

Dear Hollywood,

Would you please stop giving young men and women the wrong impression on sex?

Maybe your screen writers are living out their sexual fantasies through the scripts for a certain scene, which by the way was not even needed in the film…but hey, sex sells. But if you are going to have those sensual scenes at least portray them correctly.

If you have ever had sex, you know darn well that you can not simply pin a woman to the wall, kiss each other while stripping clothes off, fall onto the bed and expect to have her juices flowing so you can slide in with unexplainable ease and have her sighing and moaning with an orgasm in a three to five-minute romp. Well….ok there are a few…but not for the other, I would guess, 98% of women.

Hey, I get it though. Those passionate yet urgent, I must have you NOW, quickies can be freaking amazing and they can be the way they are portrayed in film…sometimes, but for the most part that is not how it works. And you know it! So stop selling lies!

I know no one in Hollywood will read my blog…a guy can dream of sex being portrayed correctly…right?!?

I mean come on!!! How many of you ladies agree?

Guys, allow me to be frank here for a bit.

Most women will not have their juices going just by your touch, your kiss or the fact that you gave her oral for a minute or two. It is not how many licks does it take…1…2…and boom they’re ready for action, like porn makes us believe.

Not every women can have an orgasm via vaginal intercourse. Some will not have one, no matter what you try. I know…sad…but true.

And I believe part of the problem is how media portrays sex.

Both the mainstream and porn give men and women an image that both genders are always ready. They are not.

Guys are visual beings. Women are emotional beings when it comes to sex, for the most part.

If you want that romp I mentioned above, then you must be intentional. You must communicate throughout the day. Start with a good morning hug or kiss right after waking up. Kiss and hug her good-bye before you leave for work.

Send those, what most men call “not on my priority list” text messages throughout the day. Let her know how much you love her, miss her and want her. She not only wants to know you desire her…she NEEDS to know you do.

And even if you do all those things…that romp may not happen. You may get to pin her to the wall when you get home. And she may kiss you with all the passion she has. Then the dishwasher goes off or the dryer beeps. Or maybe the baby starts crying. Things happen.

Be intentional. Either kiss her deeply and say that can wait or help with whatever needs to be done so her mind can focus on the moment and not on all the things that still need to be done.

You do not see that on the big screen! Big screen is fantasy and we live in the real world.

But sadly because of media a lot of young women feel that they should be ready at the drop of a hat and when it doesn’t happen they can start to have unwarranted self-esteem issues. Men, there are a some low drive women out there that feel something is actually wrong with them because they are not ready to go when you are.

Friends…

Porn gives both men and women the impression that men can get it up, keep it up and go for what seems forever. That it is lie. Those scenes are edited to a loop. I’m NOT saying go and watch a porn flick to prove me wrong or right. I’m just telling it like it is. But that 30 minute video scene, which by the way took hours to shoot, has been edited to show certain “shots” over and over.

And surprise…

There are men out there who can not have an orgasm through vaginal penetration. I know… weird…but true.

And if your man has ever watched porn he has expectations on himself based on what he has viewed. If he doesn’t perform to those levels he may see himself as a failure as a lover.

And for some men if they can not get you to have an orgasm they will feel the same way. That is a total mind monster, in and of itself, that could cause his manhood to not work all the time. The mind can be a very painful adversary.

Something else that Hollywood never shows…the realness of sex, including its triumphs and struggles.

Yes, orgasms are awesome! Sex is amazing! But, honestly, it’s really not about either. It’s about enjoying that moment together, however long or short, bonding physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I say let’s forget what the mainstream and porn has to say about sex!

I know I kind of got on a soapbox and away from the main point of the lies of Hollywood. My bad. But, I think I always do when it comes to the topic of sex. To me it is one of the greatest gifts God has given us and I literally despise how it is portrayed in the media. I do not like seeing it tainted.

I want men to understand the true treasure they have when the love of their life has sex with them. I want the same for women.

Okay, yeah..could go on a tangent. I’m stopping now.
