The Chicken vs. Egg Debate: Solved?
Ok, so last weekend I, obviously lacking in the exciting personal life department, watched the 3-hour subtitled (oh, yes, don't get me started on THAT again!) movie "Blue is the Warmest Color". I wasn't originally tempted to watch this as I was scrolling through potential movies to watch on Netflix, but after reading a novel on my Kindle app, I changed my mind. (What made me change my mind, you ask? Well, this book nodded to the fact that the movie included an intense female-female sex scene - what additional coaxing did I need?) And the book did not lie. An intense scene, indeed. Enough to make me want to watch it again this weekend (so far, I have resisted the urge), 3 hours of subtitles and all. Now typically I am into very feminine women (brunettes with long wavy hair, Hispanic is a bonus), but yesterday I was grocery shopping and I noticed this woman as I was on my way out of the store. She was definitely a lot less feminine (some would say 'butch') than I typically am attracted to, but I found myself wishing I'd slip and fall as I walked past her in the hopes that she would help me back up. Don't get me wrong, a broken leg would also give me some time off work, but do I really want to be laid up during my favorite season (pool, flip flops, sunscreen) just to meet some woman? Hmm. That may be a whole other debate for another day. But back to my previous post, in which I propose the debate about sexual desires being influenced by movies: did watching this movie last weekend cause me to check out this woman yesterday, who I normally would not have looked twice at? Or did the movie just bring out feelings that already existed? Could I really have suppressed feelings for over thirty years? This brings up similar questions regarding my sexual orientation. But we will save that for another day!
