Songs About Sex! Sex Sex Sex!
Little epilogue, a reposted post of all the songs that are about sex so explicitly they really don’t make sense if you see them any other way.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Happy Valentine’s Day! A Gift for You, a New JHMS Review, JHMS and Sexual Compatibility as a Real Romantic Obstacle
I love writing about JHMS!!!! And this will get me hyped to go see Imtiaz’s new film which I’m really not that excited about.
Continue readingValentine’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?
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Why Women Fantasize, and Sanam Tere Kasam
This is NOT a review of Sanam Tere Kasam. Okay, the second half is. But the first half is just a discussion of female romantic fantasies, and it’s important, and you should read it even if you don’t care about the rest of it.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Doosra Aadmi, Sex and Marrying Too Young
This is such a good interesting movie! I watched it years ago and yet I still remember it well enough to write a review, which is a sign of a very good movie.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Which Shashi Photo is the Sexiest Shashi Photo?
Are you feeling down? Is the work week getting to you? Or just the general February blahs? I have a cure! Let us all stare at Shashi Kapoor photos, until we are ready to stop.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to Valentine’s Week?
Happy Wednesday! I’m having a tiring week at work this week, the days are just packed, it’s Wednesday and it feels like Friday already. Thank goodness for Valentine’s Week of Sex to cheer me up!
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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.
Continue readingValentine’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”.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Band Baaja Baarat, a Great Sex Scene But is it Necessary?
I still think they shouldn’t have had sex in this film. Just because of what it does to the narrative afterwards, STUPID! A kiss would have been a lot better.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Shahrukh Discussion Post: In Which of These Shahrukh Movies Did He and the Heroine Have Sex?
Yes, this is a silly silly shallow fan post. But who cares, it’s fun to be shallow. And if it isn’t fun for you, you can just not read this post.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions Post: What Do You Want to Ask Me Valentine’s Week?
Happy Monday before Valentine’s Day! I am either going to be hosting people, or going over to my friend’s house to hang out with her and her baby.

Aradhana! Chocolate hero Rajesh Khanna swept into the hearts of the nation through one mistaken night in an empty inn.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Guddu, Shahrukh and Manisha in a Sex Cave
This is such a good-bad movie! Highly recommend it for your next movie night with a group of raunchy trashy friends. Not for your movie night with your classy sophisticated smart people friends, watch something else for that. Kind of interesting that Manisha and Shahrukh were only in two movies together, and one of them is arguably the best movie Shahrukh ever made and the other is arguably the worst.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Humare Dil Aapke Paas Hai, a Cheerful Family Friendly Rape Romance with No Sex
This is “sex week”, and this movie fits the theme because it is so extremely NOT about sex. In a good way. It’s a movie about how sex is a fact of life, but it is also something you can just choose not to have in your life and that is okay too. I mean, that’s not officially what it is about, officially it is about rape and societal judgement, but it’s also about a rape survivor going on to have a totally chaste romance. Consider that your “trigger warning”, but it’s also a pretty well-known plot twist to this film, so it’s not a spoiler exactly. Speaking of spoils, this is a very 2000s movie so it won’t be for all of you. If you aren’t planning to watch it, please spoil yourself! The plot is insane!!!
Continue readingQueens of Sex Competition: Rani Versus Vidya, Who is Better at Sex on Screen?
This is so HARD! They both have a natural joyful quality on screen that is so much more sexual than air brushed and perfect actresses. And they are both really good actresses who lose themselves in the moment and make you believe they are real people feeling real things. But which is better?
Continue readingTGIF Valentine’s Week of Sex: The Many Shades of Shahrukh Sex Faces
For a man who didn’t even kiss onscreen until a few years ago, he is really good at doing the sex eyes!

First, head over here to read my big discussion of sex and meaning in Mani Ratnam films. That’s fun and new. This is not new, this has been reposted many many times already. But hey, maybe you haven’t read it yet somehow!
