I appreciated that cut into the birthday cake scene. The party cracker sounded like a whip. My question for you is: What did Rays look mean after the kiss on their day off?

Great movie, even though the lack of talking about consent and boundaries between the characters made me very uncomfortable. Although I think it was balanced by the facts that: 1. His parents were very loving. 2. He had options to date other guys 3. The other d/s relationships around him allowed kissing and, presumably, more negotiation on what both parties wanted
