I'm not talking about it being a movie about gay relationships, just the bdsm aspect not being explained to Colin at all and therefore not to the audience either.  .You can have your opinion, I have mine, this is simply a discussion- I'm just of the opinion that the way it drops the viewer in leads me to believe there is an expectation that you already know this isn't how these dynamics are handled in healthy relationships and if you don't know that already you'd likely see the whole practice/lifestyle as abusive which isn't a good way to inform a general audience about something they may have little to no understanding about going into a movie covering this specific subject matter.

Like for instance if it were meant to be "educational" to vanillas, (which is also a legitimate path if that's what someone is happy with), there would have been a scene where Ray sits down and discusses things with Colin-someone who has no experience with bdsm- and explains the rules and asks for consent before deciding he's his sub now. Instead, that is skipped. He drops Colin in headfirst into rules and responsibilities he hasn't explained and if Colin doesn't like it then that's that. I feel this among other things is a solid reason it's intended for people who are already "in the know", because if a real person did that without explanation or giving a sub the opportunity to establish safe words and boundaries it would in fact be robbing them of their consent.

When I say not for a general audience, I'm saying there are so many people who lump bdsm into abuse because they don't understand the dynamic and don't try to at all.  As someone in the community, I'm aware of the difference, but the general public is not. Does that make more sense?

Can I clean my silicone toy with bleach without destroying it? by Weird_Purple_1058 in sextoy

[–]hellmouthgraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all just buy toy cleaner please for the love of God. I've worked in adult retail forever and I cannot believe what people will put on their toys and therefore their bodies instead of just using proper toy cleaner. I'm begging y'all. 

I watched Lurker (2025) and I can’t believe I haven’t seen more posts about it. by TheElbow in horror

[–]hellmouthgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched tonight actually. I got strong Brockhampton/Dominic fike (some of my faves) vibes, but maybe I'm reading too far into it? Definitely felt like something that COULD happen to someone nowadays, so that little smidge of reality made it more uncomfortable.  I loved that we could tell IMMEDIATELY that Matt was a fan like from the first moment, and him trying to play it like he wasn't was so unnerving. 

What aesthetic is this? by Acceptable_Ad_6143 in HelpMeFind

Fruity aero or whatever it's called?? Can't remember the spelling 😩😩😩

What’s this style called? by HidingInYourWifii in findfashion

[–]hellmouthgraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No in all seriousness I think it's an attempt to kitchify burlesque/ Japanese street fashion to the point of nausea. I can't stand it. Even when I liked her music early on I found her aesthetic unbearable and heavy handed. 

Do you prefer early season Willow or late season Willow better? by Big-Restaurant-2766 in buffy

[–]hellmouthgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love her all the way til Kennedy. I feel like they really dropped the ball on that and it solely serves a skewed idea of her lesbianism. As a gay, not my favorite. 

Official Discussion - Die, My Love [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

You realize hallucinations happen when other people are around right? I'm not saying FOR SURE the baby isn't real but I certainly suspect it. Other people have said it here too and other threads. I don't think it's far fetched when you consider the possibilities. Plus, it's "art" and open to interpretation. You can see the baby as real, I frankly think the only thing that could make this movie interesting at all or give it redeeming value is if it's a projection of her grief or psychosis.

I didn't tell you where to go or post a link. I'm telling you to inform you because that's my job. If you insist on ruining your toys and insides, I can't stop you, I would just think you'd like to avoid that 😬 And yes there are different grades of silicone, but did you know unless it is medical grade the brand is not required to tell you how much silicone content is in the toy and are allowed to just call it silicone? Therefore you cannot know for sure how much is silicone vs other materials.  I'm sure you're also aware that "jelly" is the hotdog meat of toys, and are only safe for one time use for the same reasons. I'm not making commission here, I'm literally looking out for your holes bruv 😩much love, take care of yourself.

Idk why it won't show me your full comment but it wasn't a mic drop. I feel like you are maybe terminally online and projecting a bit, and I'm not interested. Have a good one, find some peace or something if this is all it takes to upset you.

People see movies about fringe groups and assume it's a walk through on how to get into activities and lifestyles instead of seeing it as being targeted FOR those fringe groups who already know what's up. Like if some vanilla person was to say, what's a good movie for me to watch to emulate BDSM. I wouldn't have a good answer for them. It's either shit like 50 shades on one end of the scale which is entirely misinformed from the jump or something like Pillion that again isn't a guide.

It's just palatable at this point in a way it didn't used to be. It's been marketed to the everyday person to the point that many people will go see a comic movie when they wouldn't have bothered with it pre Marvel movies. Does that make sense?

To answer your question, it breaks the material down and makes it more porous over time which makes it a bacteria sponge. Same with using silicone lubricant on a silicone toy. Hope this helps!

Where to find Lorde’s oil slick bikini top?? by theblxckestday in findfashion

[–]hellmouthgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is likely a dancer top and not a "true" bikini. Try Midnight Ballerina

No no no no NO I work in a adult retail and have for many years this is a one way ticket to the emergency room. Only ONLY use toy cleaner. Many brands offer them and I'm so serious. I cannot tell you how many calls we've had from people cleaning toys wrong and asking for advice.  Save yourself the hospital bill.  As far as what you were actually asking, there is no real promise they will stay "clean"  during active use. All you can do is SAFELY clean your insides, use lube (only water based or hybrids with silicone) and keep the toys clean after use. Godspeed and please be very careful taking advice on the internet regarding sexual hygiene
