INDIANS HAVE SEX. PERIOD.


Indians have sex. Period. It's a not a shocking thing, especially considering we pop out more little ones than we know what to do with...so why do we hide from sex? In movies of all places.
Bollywood is like that girl that teases you and teases you and teases you even further until you're so excited that you stand up in heat, pull out your penis, in all it's glory, and, are, awaiting heavenly pleasures...only to be met with utter disgust by the girl, as if you've officially outdone every known, grand, pervert in this one attempt.

such choice analogy aside it's true. Try watching Indian movies or music videos with your parents these days without turning red from shame or embarrassment. It's shocking how much suggested sexual innuendo is prevalent in Bollywood productions, but what is one thing that is missing???

The fruit of this sexual innuendo...the actual sex of course. Harking back to my analogy, why is there so much conservatism in Indian movies when it comes to presenting sex on celluloid? The tired old images of two pairs of feet rustling under bed sheets is lame and sad. You're telling me you can show me a chick walking around 90% naked but not suggest she is actually having sex too. Ridiculous.

Forget even showing images of actual sex or frontal nudity for now. Most Indian filmmakers can't even get English slang in their movies right, I don't expect them to have the understanding or maturity to actually incorporate images of nudity (female or male...female preferred) as an important vehicle in a particular scene or movie, but, what's wrong with kissing?

Slowly (and I mean slowly) few movies have actual on screen, real kisses..and those look as real as my attempts to Photoshop my face on Brad Pitt's torso. Indians kiss (or I am guessing they do), well at least the new generation does, so why is it so few and far between in Bollywood. Most Bollywood movies today try their hardest to come off like the retarded cousin of Hollywood, never learns its lesson.

Do the actors hate each other? Is it religious dogma keeping kissing and nudity at bay? Not like there are no Indian movies with no nudity in it, so how did these filmmakers of such movies get away with it?

Why the hell do these kisses end with the camera moving away? or lights fading? Or when none of that happens why do the directors show some utterly horrible kisses? Kissing is a soft, sensual art...not a rampant face eating or "I am kissing my mother" style play.

I am no porn fetish sicko but come on. Films can be classy and show the vulnerable side of humanity that is sex...hell, look at French Films. It's not considered an authentic French film if there isn't at least 3 exposed penises and couple of pair of breasts and vaginas on display. So why are we so on the fence about this? We'll probably see an actual, honest to god real, pair of boobs in a mainstream Bollywood movie when I am ready to use a Colostomy bag. I know it's more of a social movement than an industry one. After all, even Bollywood has to stay within the social confounds of it's given society but still....COME ON!!!.
