I don't think there's anyone that doesn't agree that gay couples are often treated differently than straight couples when it comes so show intimacy and sex on screen. And yes it's definitely important to normalize this because gay love is not any different than straight love. Love is love. And Alt er LOVE ❤️

But Skam is still a show about teenagers and Lucas is what? 17? And Eliott is 18? It's of course great that they show them kissing and being intimate and in love, it's how it should be and it's all just positive.

But imo there is also a line in there? What is needed to show on screen to make the story realistic and good? And what is better left out for our imagination? If Skam were about people in college/in their twenties I wouldn't care this much, because they would have been adults. And in my eyes that's different.

Of course teenagers have sex and it's definitely okey to show that, but how explicit do the scenes have to be? And just to be clear, for me this is about both straight and gay couples, because of course they should be treated equally. But the thing is, I don't think we really need explicit sex scenes between teenagers on tv? Period. It always leeds to people start sexualising the characters and focus too much on their physical relationship and physical appearances.... And yes, it does make me uncomfortable, especially when the characters are teenagers... (and in the original most of the actors were also teens)....

Maybe it's because Skam is so realistic and it feels more like watching a documentary rather than a tv show? The characters in original Skam felt like real life friends and yeah I don't really need to watch my friends have sex to get it you know🙈

I just think Skam did balance this so well. Like I've seen posts saying Elu is so much more physical and sexy together and while yes that's true with what we've seen on screen, but the thing is Isak did also wake up shirtless after his weekend with Even? Which means they were definitely more intimate and physical together than what we saw on screen? Did the fact that we didn't see it lessen the intimacy and the love between the two of them? I think not at all. And like we all have our imagination, right?

So far Skam france is definitely going for the more usual dramatic BIG TV drama love story whereas the original was very down to earth, raw and realistic in their approach. It will probably also mean that Skamfr will be ALL about those big moments aka the two reunion scenes between Lucas and Eliott (if we follow the original) and also definitely their sex scenes....

I'm really really sorry guys, I didn't mean for this to turn out sooooo looooong!!

I'm not LGBT and this is clearly just my personal opinion and I guess what really matters are what actual LGBT people feel about this. And just to be clear once again, intimacy and sex scenes should definitely be treated equally for both gay and straight couples. My point is that I don't think we need to see explicit sex scenes between teenagers on tv, not straight and not gay 🤷‍♀️

Have a great Friday everyone😘

I actually just remembered this one time I was at this Korean trinket store and I saw these two girls walk in and one of them was kind of cutely clinging to the other girl’s arm so I just assumed they were girlfriends but I don’t really like just assuming things so even though it was none of my business if they were girlfriends or not I kept occasionally glancing at them to confirm and they caught me one time and they probably think I was hatin but really I was kind of jealous.

Edit: They weren't Korean btw lol

southernblott said: nah its okay, sex is a weird thing. im the kind of person who always encourages experiences over prejudgment but thats just me. its ok to feel that way, and its also ok to never have sex if you dont want to. dont let anyone tell you what to do.

i get where you're coming from with that, kinda like how (now i am at least) i am with trying new food, like i say the same, but then this is with general life stuff, not food-- you know, something like this should be said to everyone, because that's honestly made me feel better about how i feel about it.
