Gay Men Pickups
Friday, January 16th, 2009Why do gay men get to have such easy hookups/pickups? Ok, I’ll admit that *mostly* I’ve observed this on tv shows and in the movies. I’ve witnessed it in real life on occasion, though, too.
I was just watching an old episode of Six Feet Under. Two (gay) guys are out for coffee or a drink, I forgot which it was, and basically one of them just says “Hey, let’s get out of here.” Obviously back to one of their apartments. Obviously for sex.
In the movie Milk (which I **highly** recommend, btw!), Sean Penn, as Harvey Milk, stops a guy on the subway, and hits on him in the most awesomest way. It’s adorable. It’s hot. (Well, mostly the following scene is hot.) It makes me insanely envious that I can’t do that.
I mean, obviously, I *could*. I’m not physically unable to. It’s not illegal. It’s just not allowed. And, yeah, I get the weirdness of me talking about what is and isn’t allowed, but, please, I hope you can get what I’m saying.
The thing is, even when a guy-girl hookup from a pickup happens, even when it’s the result of a cute or witty pickup line or not, and whether or not the sex is hot or not… oh, damn, I’m not sure what I’m even trying to say.
Two guys who have casual sex can run into one another later and have a laugh. Be friendly. Hook up again if they both want to.
I think I shouldn’t be watching movies while also writing blog posts… I lose my train of thought. I am not good at multi-tasking!
