Really? Ok, I'm offering you twenty-five MILLION dollars to french
kiss a reasonably attractive actor of the
inappropriate-not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that sex. What do
you say? Honestly now.

I've heard that, but don't have any hard data. I think it's a money
thang.

It's called - a c t i n g.

How do straight actors stand kissing opposite sex actors that repulse them?
How do actors that hate kids cozy up to them?
How do actors pretend to care about things they don't care about?
How do actors strip off their clothes and expose their imperfect naked
bodies to the world for criticism and abuse?

Gee.
Must be acting.
If you can't stand the heat. . .

Then perhaps they would not be well suited for acting in roles which might
include kissing. Similarly, there are some people who are not well suited
to be CPAs, dentists, or rodeo clowns. Big ol' world.

It is really a basic transaction. An actor reads the script, and considers
if the money / prestige / experience is worth auditioning for, or taking,
the part. The folks you see up on the big screen doing perhaps
less-than-pleasant things are the people who haven't self-selected out.

How much? For a hundred grand I'm betting you could find plenty of
slobbering straight guys who would french kiss another guy...or at
least pretend to. You don't actually have to slip the tongue, you
know.

I heard that when Arnold Schwartzenegger was about 20, he posed for a gay
magazine. I don't know if he did any kissing or not.

One actress quit a series, because she was doing gay scenes every week and
didn't like it. The writers decided to make her character gay.

When though people always say they will do XYZ for money, they usually chicken
out. I doubt that there would be as many people to take you up on the offer as
you might think.

As for the original question:
There are many actors who won't do a part that they feel is demeaning, or won't
do nude work, or wear fur, or work that goes to far against thier basic
ideals...

Deciding NOT to do something even in the face of money and the pressure of a
vocal minority is always more impressive than simply going along with group
think.

For the actresses that choose to do lesbian sex scenes that is fine, but for
the actresses that choose NOT to do lesbian sex scenes; bravo.

No. Just the homophobic ones.

Inherently? It's quite obvious that women have less of a
homophobic nature than men, since they don't fear their own
sex the way men do, but your insinuation that everyone finds
homosexual sex repulsive says more about your own viewpoint
and very little about the reality of human sexual behavior,
so it's basically a stupid troll question.

I give this bait three points: one for brevity, one for
weakness of assertion, and one for trenchant reminder of the
state of American sexual education.

Is there really a "vocal minority" out there telling heterosexual
actresses that they have to play love scenes with other actresses?

And for a similiar amount you'd find a lot of gay guys willing to kiss
a girl.
Actually it's interesting I saw people bitch when Anne Heche was with
Harrison Ford in "Six Days, Seven Nights" because she was "gay" (at
the time) and what would she know about kissing a man? Yet no-one
bitched about straight actors playing gay (like Jude Law in "The
Taleneted Mr. Ripley" or "Wilde" for example). Talk about homophobic
double standards.

Just out of curiosity, on what grounds did you deduce that Dickie
Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley is a "gay" character?

There were sublte hints which I can't recall off the top of my head. I
think actually his character was being more bisexual, that he'd get
with anyone he felt like - a proper little hedonist. It's a while
since I saw it but I remember noticing them at the time (besides the
fact that Dickie has gay friends, there were other things too).

I think it's along the same lines as kissing a person of the opposite
sex who you don't find attractive: it's called acting. The profession
is all about pretending to be a different kind of person than you
actually are.

Dickie has three friends -- Freddie, Marge and Tom, one of whom is gay
and obsessed with him, and when Tom starts trying to get up close and
personal Dickie rejects him. Unless you think the Italian singer in
the club is gay, of course. (Freddie comes off a bit swishy, but he's
not gay.)

Dickie's having sex with two characters in the film, both of them
women.

Heck, if Dickie were gay or bi-sexual, there'd be no problem -- he's
amoral enough to cheat on Marge with Tom...

Not only that, but why is it so much more distasteful than having to do a
love scene with a) and actor she can't stand, or b) one she doesn't even
know? It's not like they're off in a dark corner having a hot time in the
old town tonight - it's doing a scene, probably under bright lights and in
front of 60 people.

Sure, no problem.

Nope. I didn't say that, did I? What I did point out was
that the poster's question was biased, in that it implied
that ALL "same-sex sex:" (and please note that is not
limited to male homosexuality) was "inherently...repulsive."
In short, it was a loaded question that revealed a rather
blatant homophobia on the poster's part.

>>Look,gays can do what they like with my blessing, but sucking a dick

I suppose that would depend on whether you're gay or not,
now wouldn't it? And what does assfucking or cocksucking
have to do with lesbianism, which was the original focus of
this particular troll's post?

I believe there's a Masters and Johnson study on this. I know I read
about it somewhere, but I don't recall the book offhand.

To sum up:

Male sexuality tends to be polarized, either straight or gay, while
female sexuality tends to be less rigorously delineated. While most
women have sexual preferences, they are more willing to experiment
with homosexuality than men are and find it less offensive or
threatening when a woman is a lesbian.

It's one of the reasons we don't find it as unusual for women to be
touchy-feely with each other than men. It's a cultural bias that
stems from biology.

I like this quote from Susan Sarandon on how the director of "The Hunger" thought
her character should down a couple of glasses of wine before the love scene with
Catherine Deneuve:

"Doing a love scene, whether it’s with a man or a woman, in front of a room full of
people, for three or four days is probably the most unnatural thing you could do.
Forget about the gender of the person you’re with. But I definitely was the one who
said, you know, I shouldn’t be drunk. What’s the point? I mean, if you’re gonna
choose to go to bed with a woman, and it’s Catherine Deneuve, you don’t need to be
drunk."

Bull. I quote from the site, at <web-site-stripped-out>/celinfo.htm:

"What stuff will you not do? I am not into lesbian stuff "

Obviously this was just another spammish, off-topic, porn come-on. And here's

Yeah, alright, I know. Even I'm not _that_ naive. :-)

Oh for heaven's sake. If I were an actor and if someone were
paying me, a gay man, to kiss a woman, it wouldn't be any big deal. And
for what it's worth, there are any number of gay themed flicks in which 2
straight men kiss. These people are professionals. Give them some
credit, please.

The classic example of this being Deborah Winger and Richard Gere in An
Officer and a Gentleman, Winger supposedly not liking her costar in the
least.

And given some of the physical challenges an actor may face doing a film,
say spending several 16 hour days in a water tank filming a shipwreck scene,
some simple kissing is hardly up there on the discomfort scale.

Hello Alun,
The message I quoted in my reply was a general statement that "someone
says they'll do xyz for $$$ then they usually don't"
My reply was to post www.kinkyceline.com to show one girl who does do
xyz - anytime...
Obviously Celine prefers not to do lesbian.....but she will do a pony
or a horse.
Doesn't say much for lesbos does it?

I was not promoting her site per say..just pointing out that some

Could it be Michelle Green (I think that's her name) from LA Law? I
remember she had intense misgivings when the writers suggested taking her

Nope. The original poster said nothing direct about "not
[liking] the idea of homosexual sex personally." In fact,
he implied that straight men DO like homosexual sex, as long
as it's female. What he directly claimed was that no such
straight male (even though they're attracted to lesbianism)
"would...french kiss another guy even if paid," to which I
replied, "No. Just the homophobic ones."

So, what I wrote was in no way "silly" and I certainly see
no reason to retract it.

Yeah. I'm not gay myself, but pay me enough and sure I'd kiss another
guy on camera. Doubt anyone would want to pay me for that, though,
since I'm *not* an actor and probably wouldn't be able to look
convincingly like I enjoyed it much.

Who was it who would chew garlic first, if s/he didn't like her costar?
I've heard it attributed to both Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis.

What about gay men and women who kiss or simulate sex with the
opposite sex, though their personal reaction may be quite similar to
what you're talking about. Think of Amanda Bearse on "Married... with
Children", and the stuff she did on that show.

Are you seriously asking this?

The answer is simple: If they don't want to do it, they shouldn't. If
they don't mind, then they can go ahead.

And there are plenty of heterosexual men (myself included) who would
willingly star in a role which involved homosexual scenes. If *you*
don't want to, then don't.

It's the job. If the script says do this and your a professional you
do it. You don't have to enjoy it just do it.

It's definitely the job. There are many stories of opposite sex
co-stars who they hate, have bad breath etc. It's their craft to
make it look passionate. I'm sure a lesbian scene is "harder" for
some women but it's not real sex after all. There *is* a big
difference. I heard Denise Richards had a hard time with her menage a
trois in Wild Things but that may have been because she was nude as
much as anything else. But she seems to have survived. Yeah how many
guys would kiss another male for $100K?

Hell, I've been involved in Rocky Horror for years, and I've seen a
lot of people (male/female, gay/straight) kiss someone that they wouldn't
be attracted to for *free*. It's all about acting.

It's not as common as the lesbian fetish among men (which is far
from universal), but there are still LOTS of women who enjoy male/male
homoerotica... From the dawn of the sci-fi "slash" genre (which was
started primarily by women reading and writing Kirk/Spock stories) to
Japanese bishounen/yaoi anime to the works of female authors like Anne
Rice all the way up to hardcore male porn, there's always been an
interest among some women in the "guy/guy scene".

Obviously I went to the wrong kind of parties. :-(

Women are less often interested by visual stimuli than men are. Women seem
more interested in development of emotion and relationship. This is a rough
explanation of why women read more romance books than men do, and why men buy
more porn than women do. It also explains a difference between what sort of
film men and women like to watch.

Or, put a different way, men like to watch, women like to emote. Maybe a
guy/guy scene that is the result of an intense, emotionally complex
relationship over the course of a two-hour movie would be a turn-on for many
women, but I can't imagine that such a movie would get much time in mainstream
movies, let alone be targeted towards women.

Alun.

Did you ever consider that maybe these two girls are kissing each other
because they know they'll suddenly become the center of attention, with
masses of slobbering, drooling men focused entirely on them?

Read some slash fanfiction, and learn better. There are plenty of
women who find the idea of two guys together to be very erotic.
Maybe not quite as many as guys into lesbians, but enough to have
created their own micro-genre of amateur writing.

I know girls who are into male/male stuff, although I guess it's nowhere near as common as guys liking lesbian
scenes.

Are you living in a bubble or what?
You might want to check out that internet classic - the Slash Archives. In
the beginning written primarily by straight women and featuring a lot of boy
on boy lovemakin', not to mention the good old S&M and B&D. It all began
with Kirk and Spock, but I think it found its true expression in the
X-Files. Good old Mulder had so many partners to choose from and none of
them female, let alone Scully.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that all women are bisexual. There are
plenty of lesbians who have no sexual attraction to men whatsoever.

She did. Her character (Abby) was supposed to become the love interest of
Amanda Donohoe's character. I also seem to recall that Cynthia Sykes left
"St. Elsewhere" when the producers decided that her character would become a
lesbian.

That's a generalisation. I have a female friend who finds the idea of gay
male sex v. attractive but is repulsed by the idea of lesbian sex.

Aside from the fact that you're wrong about the guy/guy
stuff (as other posters have pointed out), I'd say girl/girl
scenes are a turn-on to straight men for several reasons:

1. Men are more visually oriented than women. Has to do
with neural hardwiring, or some such.

2. Most straight men will never in their life get the
opportunity to enjoy girl/girl sex, either as an observer or
as part of a menage.

3. Males don't find girl/girl sex threatening, and they can
freely imagine themselves either taking part in a menage, or
"helping" the poor lipstick lesbians find the true
satisfaction of a "real" man. The poor simps.

4. It's a scenario that indulges the male obsession with
control and strength. It also allows them to indulge
whatever homosexual urges they may have, by sublimating
through the fantasy of being one of the women.

Actually that's a transexual fantasy, not a homosexual fantasy.

Hey, maybe it has nothing to do with women and men as agents of attraction
but women and men as subjects of attraction. Perhaps it's just that women
are way more attractive than men.

(I do think that women *tend* to have more fluid sexualities, at least
partially based on the fact that there is less stigma attached and other
cultural reasons.)

It's called what actors do. In my youth (24ish) I was an actor in an
Oz tv show and had to kiss this woman who was a Oz Tv star. I was SO
nervous I automatically shoved the tongue in (which is not done.) I
was mortified but she was great about it.

It's acting. Check out the British series "Queer As Folk" sometime.
A lot of the guy are straight but they're tickling tonsils and pulling
puds and all sorts of gay stuff.

With still pictures, a pictures of a woman alone are fairly popular. With
some men, when they see a naked woman, the dick goes up, when they see a
naked man, the dick goes down, and when they see both together, the dick is
at half mast. Having a man in a scene can make the scene less erotic for
some male viewers. Maybe the male viewer feels threatened or is less well
endowed. In movies, you have to show action. Normally this action involves
two or more people. Thus you end up with lesbian scenes.
