AAkasha -> Same-sex kissing (for straight subs) - limits and thoughts (8/31/2010 11:48:15 AM)

Male subs who identify as straight (not bi curious): Do you consider kissing another man (with tongue) to be a hard limit? Female subs who identify as straight (not bi curious): Same question with f/f kissing? I don't have the numbers, but I have a hunch (might be wrong) based on past topics that a great many male subs who identify as straight have a bigger problem with m/m kissing as submission that women do with kissing another woman as part of submission. Am I wrong? I remember a thread a long time ago where men confessed that many felt it would be harder to kiss another man than to suck a man's cock (if I am remembering that right. Perhaps that was a wet dream of mine). Is kissing another a man a "hard limit"? I get really turned on by straight guys kissing. A recent article about a True Blood episode really got me thinking about this. (SPOILERS if you are not up to date on the current season). SPOILERS ---- The actor that plays Talbot talked about kissing Eric (http://www.movieline.com/2010/08/true-bloods-theo-alexander-on-his-gay-vampire-sex-scene.php?page=1) and his general discomfort but how he overcame it to accomplish the scene: What was the energy like on set the day that you shot the sex scene? Well, I think that whole week, Alexander [Skarsgård] and I were both a little bit anxious, but we were joking and being professional. Alexander is a great actor, though, and he helped me get beyond the physical part of the scene. I had been afraid of the scene from the very beginning — from the first moment that I held the script in my hand — but I’m glad I did it because every time you face your fears, you move forward. It was a good experience at the end of the day. What aspect of the scene scared you? Well, the part about kissing another man. I don’t really do that, so… I didn’t want to think of him as a woman. Many people told me, “Oh, just close your eyes and think of him as a woman.” But no, because that is a totally different energy and I had to be very present with Alex and his male energy. I had to open myself to be able to actually be attracted to him, like, really attracted to him. At the end of the day, it was fun, though. ** I read this, and this is a straight guy apparently who doesn't want to kiss men and enjoy kissing men, but he does it for his craft. Actors do this kind of thing all the time; actors don't want to have "hard limits" if they are going to limit their roles. Is a hard limit for a sub any different from an actor who wants to be the best at what he does, and can overcome his own obstacles to do it? FWIW those couple of paragraphs got me hot and bothered in all kinds of ways; if anyone hasn't seen the scene and digs m/m intimacy, I highly recommend it. Akasha
