On a different note, there is now a Shonda Rhimes show being created about a "gutsy female forensic accountant." Forensic accounting, so hot right now. :mellow:

I don't think I have seen a portrayal of gay sex without condoms as something normal in tv at all. Except when it is to serve as a cautionary tale.

Yeah, in that episode of Looking, it is positioned as something foolish that Patrick did.

Yeah, and he then goes on a HIV scare panic attack for the rest of the episode.

Hell, even the most depraved BDSM porn has dicks nicely sheathed when it eventually gets to fucking - the only type of porn where it is not the case is barebacking, which is specifically a fetish for people who don't use condoms - and it is looked down upon by the "reasonable sado-masochists".

If anything, it has often stricken me as surprising how common it is to see heterosexual intercourse (both in and outside of porn) depicted without condoms by comparison.

There is a whole series of books about yet another gutsy female forensic accountant.  ;)

I guess it is a whole genre.  :lol:

I don't see a lot of portrayals that involve condomless sex.

CdM is just bitter because he is not getting any and he hasn't got enough cash to pay for sex without it seeming like hiring a hooker. He is a heterosexual grallon with cats. :P

It's unfortunate that Poland continually lags behind the West when it comes to social trends;  in this case, shooting lawyers in the face when they get to the office.

On a related note, Seeds, can you tell us what recent portrayals of homosexuality have you so feeling as you do?

There just isn't a way this isn't going to suck. I mean, Melissa McCarthy, Wiig? It's like they are actively trying to put together the most unlikeable comedienne cast possible.

They were both in Bridesmaids and that one killed it at the box office.

They got the same director from that one, even. They clearly don't want me giving them money.  :(

Yes, they are created with people brazenly putting themselves at risk for catching and STD. :yes:

compared to... lawyers tv show? Definately!

So, lawyers shows = hot.  Doctors shows = hot.  Vetirinary shows = hot.  But not forensic accounting? 

I fail to see the difference.  Overtly exagerated tv script based on actuality.  Lots of weird cases.  Lots of extra-marital relationships at the office.  Girls will dig it, especially the ones for whom fidelity&honesty is the most important thing in a couple.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
