beau_t Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 They made a big deal out of Steven having "stayed there all night". But it wasn't clear if that's what they were getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old H&A Fan Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 That is a good question. Sadly, one of the major downsides of our favourite series is that they shy away from properly dealing with this aspect of life, I presume because of the strict criteria of the G-rating. Not only are you denied any steamy scenes of Steven and Jennifer "at it", you can't even talk about it. I also presume that the narrow-minded conservative small-town mentality is used as an extra convenient disguise to shame people out of enjoying the sexuality aspect of life. I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxland 89 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I presumed they did the night he stayed over. I like it that its not shoved at our faces with steamy scenes. Get enough of that post 2000. Nothing wrong in subtlety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau_t Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah I don't mind that they didn't specify exactly what happened, I just wondered if were supposed to assume they did or what... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity we don't get much subtlety when we have Ben and Carly's steamy "love" scenes shoved in our faces half the time that storyline features in the episodes......

alexx Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't remember seeing Carly and Ben doing anything but kiss and hug in the way of romance. It's never been 'steamy'. One of the reasons I really dislike the current format is that they have become really sleazy at times when showing romance - like ripping each others clothes off and making out on a kitchen bench. I dont find that exciting television, I find it annoying and cringe worthy. They even tried to go there with Marilyn when she slept with Sid on her first date - so out of character.

Old H&A Fan Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 It has at times got pretty heated with Ben and Carly, like when they were setting up their love-nest under Tom & Pippa's roof (and with their unconditional blessing), not to mention the gross-out scenes of them exposing themselves in the river then complaining about their clothes being stolen. Why can't "romance" and "sex" be intertwined instead of being treated as 2 separate entities?? Why do you suppose the term "making love" was coined? Why is sex sleazy instead of enjoyable??
