Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens : Is TFA a sexless movie?

Is TFA a sexless movie?

I've seen some comments about this, because there's no romance or even overt shows of attraction between characters in the movie. Some people point to Finn and Poe but that's nothing more than the Hedgehog/Prower phenomenon of ostensibly adult characters engaged in prolonged and intense bouts of presexual intimacy.

Finn and Poe - despite being twenty- and thirty-somethings, respectively - are several steps behind Matthew Broderick's teen hacker in Wargames, who tentatively explores how it feels to take his shirt off in front of a girl.

For fans, the actual erotic appeal comes from the fact that Sonic The Hedgehog does not *beep*. Ever. He achieves full satisfaction just by staring at you with his massive hypersensitive eyes, and passionately filling his rounded belly with chilidogs. Poe and Finn, likewise, will never move beyond hugging and trying on eachothers' clothes. They have no need to.

Luke never had a girlfriend or showed any interest in girls, ANH could also fairly be called a "sexless movie". I think Disney has realized that SW fans can live with that sort of thing, and some even like it!

Really. I genuinely think that a lot of the meaner and more unbalanced fanboys love the OT because it stars a guy who's as virginal as they are.

"Who is she? She's beautiful!"
Luke has the hots for Leia right up until they decided to fk him over by changing her to his sister.

Life isn't just about sex, not every movie that is PG or up needs to have it, or any romantic interests.

Re: Is TFA a sexless movie?

Force Awakens is Kathleen Kennedy's feminist fantasy, feminism is a barren ideology and the ideology of infertility. It's only natural that there is no sexual tension in the movie. Rey, as the poster child for the feminist 3rd wave simply doesn't need no man, therefore she's only open to a lesbian partner. But this movie being Disney, they can't allow it at this point. However, hints to Finn-Poe bromance are still permitted as long as it isn't official. There's an new asian female character in the next movie. She could become her "best friend".

Re: Is TFA a sexless movie?

You really don't understand feminism at all. All you know is a few extreme examples you've found online.

Re: Is TFA a sexless movie?

I'm talking about modern day feminism, not your imaginary idealized version of women trying have equals rights. We're talking Kathleen Kennedy, Anita Sarkeesian and such.

Re: Is TFA a sexless movie?

Yep, you have no idea. Just the extreme examples you've cherry-picked online. Equating Kennedy to Sarkeesian? Gimme a break.
