Do you get uncomfortable watching a gay scene on TV?

Homosexuality is a very debated topic and film and TV makers are constantly making it okay - after all it's our culture now. But the amount of times you see an actor or actress asked if s/he minds going against personal sexual preference for a scene... I'm wondering how many viewers get uncomfortable. I've always been a believer of regardless of sex, I'm here to enjoy a show not get horny. When it comes to the public, I don't want to see a straight, bi, or gay couple get super intimate with me. Gays do not bother me, but super intimate scenes of anyone make me clench with a "... really?" So, are you out off by gays and bis being shown on the big screen, enjoy it, or just on the fence?

  • I don't find it uncomfortable. I am okay with sex scenes of any couple m/m m/f f/f as well as threesomes. One of my favorite shows is True Blood which has a lot of sex even for an HBO show. It doesn't bother me. I'm not a pervert, like I don't get hot and bothered over it - I just enjoy seeing characters and ships I've fallen in love with, and enjoy being so close, and intimate, it makes me happy for them. Though, I also write erotic romance novels, so I might be biased. It's just something I've always enjoyed and been comfortable with. I feel bonded to characters, so when they are intimate it kind of gives me a sort of peaceful, happy, loving feeling. Unless they're mauling each other, then it makes me laugh.

    • I should also mention I'm Queer, so lgbtq couples definitely do not bother me at all - but like I said no couples do. Not being okay with seeing any couples sex scene's is perfectly okay though. A lot of people just don't like watching people be intimate.

  • I'm with you. Most sex scenes (of any gender or sex) in tv and movies weird me out. I enjoy kissing and making out myself, but kissing on tv always reminds me of fish mouths. I feel like movie sex is really unrealistic and awkward. They move from kisses to humping in ten second and both magically cum every time together after 30 seconds. At least some of the lesbian ones I've seen are the tiniest bit better.

  • Depending on whats happening it might make me cringe a little.

    I don't have anything against them and they can hold hands and other things. Just any certain sexual stuff will bug me just a little. Though i won't turn the channel since I do it for the storyline, so I bear with it. :D

    • I mean like kissing,'undressing and sex

    • Kissing doesn't bother me but undressing does. Though seeing straight women being naked makes me feel awkward and I don't like to see that for long either.

  • society is more accepting of gay women than gay men; that's why so many guys are uncomfortable seeing a same-sex couple, whereas women are just like, "whatever".

    as for me, seeing a same-sex couple onscreen doesn't bother me any more or less than if it were a straight couple.

  • I honestly could care less... I feel like I used to think it was forced on us (straight people) but now I know that's because it was just jarring having seen strictly hetero things my whole life. I do sometimes feel like it is a bit forced. Buzzfeed for example, goes to incredible lengths to have people all over the sexuality spectrum and rarely does it feel genuine. But yea, no I could care less. My one ex had lots of gay friends from acting and we would go to bars with every so often. I honestly did not care at all to see them making out or dancing or whatever.

  • 95% of the people I talk to of both sexes are appalled a gay sex scenes (kissing etc). I think of it as unnatural.

    • Because they believe gays are unnatural or because it doesn't sit with their personal preference?

    • Not at all. My secretary who's married to a hairdresser and is pro gay admitted to me that she is sickened whenever she sees two men kissing.

    • Is that because of her attachment to her husband though? I mean if my husband said he preferred men I would feel I did wrong and my disgusting in myself. Are you sure she doesn't feel that way rather than all gays wrong?

    well I. . . Don't really watch TV anymore and I don't remember seeing anything or anyone gay. I mainly watched future weapons, top gear, how it works (it was called something like that), Little Britain (that gay doesn't really count), ice road truckers etc. Mostly Dave that's what I used to watch

    I do like "officer nasty" though

  • I only voted because this question is constantly suggested to me by the website, and I want it to go away.
    I don't care. I don't watch TV, so I never see gay scenes. It might be bothersome depending on what I'm trying to watch.

  • Depends on if it's gay chicks or gay dudes. If it's gay dudes, yeah, I get uncomfortable. If it's gay chicks, then my pants get uncomfortable. I'm all for "gays are people too" and everything, but I still just do not like watching dudes do gay stuff. Pro rainbow, but I really don't wanna see that.

    But, if you actually have some idea on "You really shouldn't put that on TV," then I would think that's pretty ironic, given the insane degree of violence there is on TV: just killing and torturing humans in any way people could possibly think of. A bit of sex, gay or not, is hardly something that should be excluded from TV. If it's part of the story, it's part of the story. That's how I feel about it.

    • Second paragraph 100% agreed.

    • Two wrongs don't make a right in anything that isn't math.

    • @FakeName123 Tv shows without either violence or sex would make for pretty boring tv wouldn't it? I don't care for cooking shows at all.

  • Of course. Why would I want to watch that? Just because because I don't like watching gay sex doesn't mean I have some ideologically problem with it, though. I also think high heels are a turn off, but I'm not about to suggest that 80% is of population is wrong for liking them.

  • It feels weird, and sometimes it seems so unnecessary. Like why should they show two gay men kissing on Hozier's Take me to church videoclip?

  • No, not really. My close family members are lesbian so the stuff is totally normal to me, so it looks normal.

    • How about gays (meaning men not women?)

    • I've had openly gay friends too. I mean, it just looks normal to me I suppose because I believe that love is love, it doesn't have a gender. It doesn't disgust me or bother me. Obviously, it doesn't turn me on being heterosexual, but I can still see the beauty of two people loving each other.

  • I find the male body disgusting. So watching two guys go at it is always going to be gross. That said most sex scenes are really awkward and don't belong in the movie anyway. The movie would normally be just as good without them.

    I like women, but I hate when they do things like have a topless woman in a scene for no good reason. If you have to do that, to spice up your movie, then just don't make the movie to begin with because it is clearly a crappy movie.

  • I'm not against gay people but I do kinda like look anywhere but at the TV. It's like watching a sex scene with your parents. No where feels appropriate to look so you have to just sit there trying not to look and wondering if anyone you know would secretly be turned on by it.

  • I know we usually see straight couples on TV, but watching a gay scene doesn't bother me.
    There's another type of scene that bothers me, but I'd rather not talk about it, because some people will get offended.

  • I have never , nor will I ever sit and watch that type of stuff on tv or a movie , it just doesn't sit well with my values. Everyone is entitled to get into what ever they are ok with. This just isn't ok with me

  • Not bothered in the slightest. Kind of intrigued actually.

  • i think years ago i did squirm a little bit but now no i'm not at all uncomfortable

  • C. I despise discrimination. I'm not perfectly straight, I'm open minded. I do however not like watching two men kiss. I can handle men screwing, but men kissing, it's like it's too intimate for my liking. So yeah, gay scenes like that make me uncomfortable. Sure they have the right to do it, I just don't like to see it. It's like.. oh I thought of an example. It's like girls wearing bull rings in their septum. They have the right to do it, I just don't really like to see it.

  • lol no , not at all. It's kinda funny for some strange reason XD
    You rarely see guys that vulnerable and submissive. Seeing a sub guy hits me right in the funny bone for some strange reason.
    Like "LOL , look at his fucking face BAHahAHhaha. The sound 😂"

  • Huh? No i think it's great! I'm not straight myself, and having some representation feels good.

  • Nah, no more uncomfortable than watching a sex scene between a man and a woman.

  • I don't like it. I also don't like any scene whether it involves a straight couple or not. I think those things are unnecessary and are a cheap means of telling a story.

  • It doesn't creep me out at all but if I'm watching with my parents, I do get a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed.

  • Only when men are doing it.
    I love seeing women make out and such...
    must have watched that Black Swan scene a thousand times

  • I just don't like watching sexy scenes period!.
    I prefer where people are about to kiss and the screen turns away and turns black XD. Simple as that!.
