Love Aaj Kal 2 Review (SPOILERS): A Beautiful Exploration of How Things Have Gotten Better For Women in Romance in the Past 30 Years

Such a good movie! I’m SHOCKED! The trailers looked really terrible, and the concept made no sense (why remake a movie that is barely 10 years old?), and it was filmed in what felt like no time at all. And then it turns out to be a really deep interesting consideration of the problems of women in modern India. Who’d have thought?

Valentine’s Week of Sex TGIF: Which Classic Actress Image is the Sexiest?

Objectifying women is wrong. BUT! If an entire image is carefully crafted, with the full participation of the model, to evoke sexuality, they we aren’t objectifying, we are talking about Art. You’ll see, these aren’t like “oo, I can see her breast” photos, these are classic elaborate really beautiful images. But which is the BEST?

Valentine’s Week of Sex Thought Post: A Woman’s Virginity, What is it in Indian Film?

Oh boy, a Thought Post! These are the posts where I talk a bit too much to call it a “Discussion Post”, but a bit too little to call it a “101”. It’s just a bunch of thoughts, and then you can leapfrog off of it.

Valentine’s Week of Sex FanFic: Couples Heading for Sexual Dysfunction, Hrithik and Rani to Shahrukh and Kajol to Ranbir and Deepika

You know what we don’t see enough movies about? What happens if the sex is BAD!!!! Luckily, I am here to write those stories. And intellectualize it a little bit so we all feel more classy and less dirty.

Valentine’s Week of Sex: Namukku Parkkan Munthirithoppukal

This is a movie that is all about sex, without actually having a sex scene. Sex fantasies, sex experimentation, and sexual violence (nothing explicitly shown, but discussed and treated seriously by the plot). And it is also a movie about love and redemption and freedom. It’s just lovely.

Valentine’s Week of Sex Ranking Post: Of the Films Where Hrithik Had/Will Have Sex, Rank from Best to Worst

I already did this for Shahrukh, and I suspect fewer people will care about Hrithik than SRK. But lets see! And this time I am including movies where he doesn’t actually have sex on screen but will have sex shortly after the film ends.

Valentine’s Week of Sex Ranking Post: Of the Films Where Shahrukh Had Sex, Rank Them in Order From Best to Worst Sex

A vital question for our time. I was going to do a general “hottest sex scene in films where they had sex” ranking post, but the list got too long, so I am breaking it down by actor.

Valentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 2! What Does Yash Chopra Think Makes Good Sex?

This is a movie with a lot of layers, consideration of parent and child relationships, and changing times, and the generation gap. But it is also about sex, and what makes good sex and bad sex, and why that matters in a relationship.

Valentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 1! The Movie that is All About Sex Without Being About Sex

Happy Kabhi Kabhi day! This is my old review, with one paragraph added, but I think I have to do a second review later today specifically about what sex means in this movie because I think Yashji had a very particular reason for showing different interactions between the 5 couples.

Valentine’s Week of Sex Competition Post! Name Twins Compete for Sexiest Crown!

No Shahrukh! He would skew the results. Instead, I am putting a bunch of non-SRKs up against each other in a series of matched pairs. Good news is, you don’t need to have heard of any of these people before!!!!! Just look at the photos and make a snap judgement. Like picking out a bride.

Valentine’s Week of Sex FanFic Post: Sex Scenes for Ohm Shaanti Oshaana, Aiyyaa, Hasee Toh Phasee, Daawat E Ishq

Another productive and useful post! Or alternatively, a fun post I will enjoy writing even if no one enjoys reading it. I tried to imagine how some of our favorite couples would have handled their “first night”.

Valentine’s Week of Sex Discussion Post: Of the Couples Who Don’t Have Sex in the Film, Who Will Have the Hottest Sex Once They Do?

Get ready to RANK! And this is going to be hard. I am picking only the sexiest sweetest couples, and you have to pick who is sexier than whom. And yes, I am aware this is a silly thing to discuss and I am lowering the tone of conversation and blah blah. Join me on the low road! (also, if you pick anything besides JHMS for number 1, you are wrong)
