So you’re watching a regular film (not a porn one), and then a joke or scene about the anal world appears: it’s a good time to introduce, talk or joke about the subject, isn’t it? Have you ever been through this? Do you know any film? I hope the film shows anal sex in a funny or positive way, not as a rape like in Basic Instinct or Last Tango in Paris. Let me give you two examples.
In Everything Everywhere All At Once, there is a memorable scene where the characters are fighting and they both see a buttplug-shaped trophy on a office desk. In that world, the most unlikely actions give you new skills, so… you already know what’s going to happen, but you don’t believe it’s going to happen until you watch it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-gplbWy__Q
A few weeks ago I was watching Kingsman, The Secret Service. And then, our hero discovers where the princess is being held captive, and jokes with her: “if I get you out, will you give me a kiss?”. She replies, “If you get me out, I will give you more than just a kiss”. The villain does his job, and the hero needs to apologize, “Sorry, first I need to save the world”. And the princess says: “If you save the world, we can do it in the asshole”. (Wow!) “I’ll be right back”, and she adds with a smile, “good luck!”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V879QdEmaCk
I’m not sure what counts as “mainstream”, but there’s a comedy on Tubi called “Win a Trip to Browntown” about a man and wife who agree that if he can lose 50 pounds, she’ll have anal sex with him. It’s pretty low budget, but it’s got some heart, and I appreciated seeing anal presented in the context of everyday people.
So, yesterday we were watching an episode of Black Mirror (season 1 episode 3), and there was a scene where the main couple was having sex in spooning. There was no reference to anal sex, but my wife turned to me and said, “oh, from behind, how delicious!”. I think her brain has already been rewired, hasn’t it?
I hear anal in music. The Doors classic “Backdoor Man” and the line in the classic Led Zeppelin tune “Whole Lotta Love” where Robert Plant declares. “I wanna be your backdoor man”. I sing the lines (badly) to my wife.
I’m a bassplayer and have been in bands for over 30 years. In my mind I once wrote lyrics to a song, I only remember one line in the chorus “I wanne be your backdoorlover” hence the forumname
Yep, that’s the one! Some friends shared it with me and I laughed but also secretly thought, “I’d be okay with letting someone take advantage of the loophole…”
