Prude?

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't really know where to put this. But are people with Aspergers quite prude (shocked or get by awkward by nudity and sex scenes in films). My friend has autism and is the same. Anyone else the same? I know it possible doesn't have a connection.

Hmm. The film that just won the Palm d'Or at Cannes has explicit lesbian sex scenes. To me that's a turn off so I won't be seeing the movie. Sometimes, when I see movies with excessive kissing in it, that's a turn off. Movies where the simulated sex is just gratuitous filler is a complete turn off as well.

I typically have little patience for sex scenes in movies, but not because I'm a prude. It's because sex scenes are almost always boring as hell and add nothing to the plot. Orson Welles said, "In my opinion, there are two things that can absolutely not be carried to the screen: the realistic presentation of the sexual act and praying to God." I agree with him.

Funny thing is, while I've never had a problem with movie nudity, plenty of people who barely know me assume I do. Just like they think I don't drink.

I love sex but hate violence. the more nudity and sex, the better. it sorta seems there was this movie adaptation of the tempest, where the actors were all nude.

Strange how many people I've met who will complain about nudity and sex in mainstream cinema, but who will also watch free pron over the Internet.

there is something wrong with those people.

Many aspies are excruciatingly rules oriented, that includes rules of propriety.

So yes, it can be distressing, often because we don't understand when and how it is OK to break the societal rules.
NTs instinctively have a good grasp on life's 'artistic license'.

Does that make us prudes?
Pretty much, yes.

I never cared for prudes. and prudes never cared for me.

I think that because of my increasing porn habit, I couldn't really see be picky about anything in film. Unless sex or nudity is used in a cheap way just to sell more tickets.

I guess about 10 years ago I was flipping through channels and accidentally stumbled across Mulholland Drive. While that had some nudity, I felt it was all quite well done.

I feel the same way about The Secretary which dealt with the tricky subject of Masochism and Domination in an interesting way. It was not a leather freakshow gimp thing. Just two people struggling with awkward feelings.
