Orpheus Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I recently saw an episode where the parents give up sex, and their lives become real successful. They made more money, and fixed the house up real nice and then realized that without sex their lives were good. But in the end they gave in to sex and everyting went back to normal, poor, mesed up house. Not asexual, but worth mentioning here. Link to post Share on other sites
aury Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 there's a lesson to be learned there... Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 It's odd. When something on TV is NOT pro-sex, it just gets ignored. Why? Link to post Share on other sites
aury Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 good question... i think it has to do w/ societal conditioning... :? here's another question: why are most people who loathe sex so into horror movies? (i'd write my answer to this one, but i want to see what you guys type before i do.) Link to post Share on other sites
nemesis Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 here's another question: why are most people who loathe sex so into horror movies? I didn't realize that was so? Maybe they are just into population control... one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites
cronos Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 here's another question: why are most people who loathe sex so into horror movies?I'm guessing it's because of one of the "rules" of horror movies. The overly horny people always get taken out first while the hero or heroine usually isn't interested in sex at all.Or we just like seeing stupid people getting Darwinized. :twisted: Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I don't like horror movies that much actually hehe. After you see a few, they start repeating themselves :( Or sure, I don't mind watching them (can be quite fun actually) but they're not my favorite kind. Aliens was good though! And Predator. Hehe I prefer sci-fi/horror . . . Especially when it has a lot of guns :D Link to post Share on other sites

Eta Carinae Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I'm guessing it's because of one of the "rules" of horror movies. The overly horny people always get taken out first while the hero or heroine usually isn't interested in sex at all. Actually, to be pedantic, that's one of the rules of slasher movies. Other horror subgenres are different. And yes, I like horror, though I'm not a big slasher movie fan. Too mindless; even the "virgin woman saves the day and kicks ass" part of the formula doesn't really redeem them for me. Link to post Share on other sites

But then after the threat is over, the hero/heroine always has hot passionate sex with whoever else survived to celebrate -_- Link to post Share on other sites
aury Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 i beg to differ; if i was the heroin in a slasher/horror movie, i'd go to a BAR to celebrate. w/ a designated driver, of course, seeing as how i probably won't remember getting home the next day. :? Link to post Share on other sites

But then after the threat is over, the hero/heroine always has hot passionate sex with whoever else survived to celebrate -_- But that's when the killer comes back and kills the hero(ine) in the final frame, setting up the sequel. Then the circle is complete. Repeat ad nauseum. Link to post Share on other sites

Orpheus Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hell yeah, Jason baby. We had this talk on base one day, if NAS Meridian became a Horror film, I'd be the only one left alive in the end, and that's including the marines. Link to post Share on other sites
Gorax Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hahaha! That's because you would be the evil one going on a killing spree. Link to post Share on other sites
nemesis Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I remember laughing a lot when I saw the preview for Freddy vs. Jason. I really don't much like horror movies, they bore me. The only thing I find interesting during them is the audience that's watching them. Some of the best audiences have people who tend to laugh every time some horrible death happens.

Gorax Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I think Jason vs. Freddy will be the same type of movie as Eight Legged Freaks: the plot is unrealistic, there is an overly-healthy dose of cheese, and the movie isn't very good, but it's FUN :D The kind of movie that has you coming out of the theatre with a big stupid smile on your face. Man I love those types of movies hehe. Link to post Share on other sites

ApolloSeek Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Actually there is horror fiction in which nearly all the characters are asexual during most of the story (sometimes the main character recovers from the experience and gets married). This author is H.P. Lovecraft. I've read almost all of Lovecraft's fiction. The main character is almost always a male acting in an asexual manner (no sex, no dating, no attraction). The main character may be married, but that is mentioned as background only.
