#love class 2

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

could you do like a ranking of best kisses after a long period of yearning/pining? i'm talking jack and joker's first kiss kind of stuff, i feel like you have a really solid opinion based on all the tag games 🤭 thank you!

Hello dear Anon. Sorry it took me a bit to get to this but this ask came just before a tough week started. Do I sound like I have solid opinions? I mean, I do have a lot of them and I love sharing them, and tag games are great for me to just scream about stuff that I've thought way too much about. So pining and kissing. Long term pining is a favourite of mine, although long term in bl can get pretty long with some boys pining since childhood. Also that first kiss is often so loaded with emotions that I'm usually internally screaming the whole time. Honestly sometimes most of the time there's a lot of external screaming as well. Also, for me personally, a great kiss scene is way more than the touching of the lips, it's the build up, the tension around it, does it feel in tune with the chars and the moment, several things can turn a fine kissing scene into a great one. Ok, enough rambling and let's get down to that list.

Jack and Joker

Since it was mentioned in the ask I felt it best to start here. This scene is so good. There's an inevitability feeling in the air, like this is it, no way it's not happening now. Also, I mean, why is spin the bottle in my bl if no one is gonna kiss? The whole scene was perfection. Jack 'daring' Joke to be his boyfriend, Joke pushing the bottle aside and getting close, answering yes and just completely giving in to his feelings. All this with Dome's song. It's such a good kissing scene. And of course Yin and War kill at this type os scene.

Bad Buddy

This one is mandatory. I mean what can I even say at this point? We can't talk about pining and first kisses and not mention them. Incredible work by everyone involved. No shortage of people talking about this kiss much more eloquently so I'll leave it at that.

My Only 12%

Long term pining you said? Well, can't go longer than this actually. I think Seeiw fell in love when he first shared a crib with Cake. Cake's whole speech in this scene was amazing and I couldn't believe that they hadn't properly kissed yet at this point. But imo it made sense and I do think that with their history it was important that Seeiw felt loved and wanted by Cake. That it wasn't because he was confused, or they were already close and hugged each other to sleep since they were kids. It was something else.

We Best Love

Crying kisses my beloved. Another one that puts the long in long term pining. Gao Shi De my beautiful pining boy had his eyes on Shu Yi since childhood. Everything about this scene is perfection. A shouting confession on a bridge, a second first kiss cause Shu Yi is right, that first one doesn't count, and both of them crying with the most amazing song in the background. Just rewatching that scene alone makes me feel all the feelings.

Our Dating Sim

Finally they stop running! Ok, to be fair only one of them was actually trying to stay away but still. After 7 years of not speaking and mutual pining and soon after one of the best lines in bl (Have you been well? Without me?😢) they finally kiss! I love Gi Tae honesty in the present time. Boy was not gonna let history repeat itself so he says what he feels. But also using alcohol as an excuse when it truly wasn't.

Old Fashion Cupcake

Honestly I'm not sure how long it was but since Togawa was smitten from the interview day I'm just gonna say he was pining for a long while. Regardless this one shot sequence is incredible so I think it belongs here. Togawa just can't take it anymore and completely loses control and the way it's shot and acted you can feel that, and you can feel the tension and the break that follows. They are extraordinary in this scene.

Cherry Magic Thailand

I know Achi is the one who gets the magic powers but I think the universe rewrote its own rules and made it so Achi would find out just how hard Karan was crushing on him. And it caught Jinta by proximity. For 7 years this loser (very affectionate) was thinking about his crush 24/7 not even hoping for a kiss. Just proximity was a lot for him to handle at first. Anyway, after the many hurdles they finally kiss and it's gorgeous. I love that Achi is the one who initiates it cause he's grown braver. AAAAAAHHHHH I just love them so much.

Reset

Speaking of simps and the universe rewriting its rules. Man so in love he turned back time. This kiss was ridiculously good. The chemistry with them was always on point and when they finally kiss it doesn't disappoint. It was also so perfect for them and the moment, no notes.

Love Class 2 - Maru & Min Woo

Another besties to lovers cause honestly no trope goes harder with pining. Min Woo had been pining for years as well and they drove me crazy. But that so often happens to me with pining besties when one is so obviously in love and the other is the only one who can't see what's right in front of his face. I just end up screaming, JUST SAY IT! or HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE IT? But it's delicious and probably the reason I love my pining boys. So when Maru finally realises that all the clues were there since forever they finally kiss and it's a glorious kiss.

Now for a very special category in this list. "If I had a nickel for a long term pining boy that gets to have his first kiss with his crush with the pretence of rehearsing a kiss scene, I'd have 2 nickels".

Lovely Writer

I mean, Nubsib did need to rehearse and honestly Gene needed the material so it's a win-win. It's a great kiss made better by Gene narration of it while he's writing about it later.

At 25:00 in Akasaka S1

Asami, the king of yearning and restraint. This sequence is incredible. The way it's edited between the rehearsal and the filmed kiss is so effective at showing how blurred the lines are here. Both of these are 'fake' kisses for all intents and purposes but for Asami they're anything but. He's been yearning for Yuki since well before they met again for the making of the drama and he's been slowly letting himself lose control little by little with the excuse of the series.

Thanks for coming to my inbox lovely Anon.🫶 I hope this is what you had in mind and if I missed a big one please let me know. This gave me a chance to rewatch some great scenes and now I must resist the temptation of rewatching some of these shows in full.

Hell yeah!

Lap sitting trope my beloved 🥰 (especially with a hint of urgency, undisguised desire and unrestrained, grabby hands 😊)

Hello 👋

All of your favorite horniest sex scenes?

Hello! I've been busy, so this has taken forever to get to!

I don't always need the guys to bounce around on each other and gyrate enthusiastically for it to out as horny. Oftentimes, I find myself more drawn in by the building desire between the characters, and the explicit acknowledgement of release. I like when the sex feels like it's also revealing something to us about the characters. I've highlighted many of these before, but it's fun to revisit.

Ghost Host, Ghost House Episode 4 Couch Scene

I will never get over this scene, and especially the director's cut of it. These guys knew they liked each other almost instantly, and it was so rewarding to see them reach a place where they could express that. Bonus points for discussing the logistics of gay sex.

This show has been on Gaga and YouTube for a while, but it's also now available on Viki!

La Pluie Episode 6 Floor Scene and Episode 7 Bed Scene

I liked this scene so much that I wrote about it. Again, there's a lot of anticipation between these two, and you can tell how far it's built up because Patts has to dial it back down when Saengtai wants to stop. It's especially important to me because Saengtai does blow Patts in the next episode. If you're on iQIYI, there's an extended cut of that at the end of the video lists.

Mood Indigo: The Post-Funeral Scene

These two are so horrible for each other, but damn are their sex scenes compelling. Theirs are the kinds of scenes only possible between two people you know can never work long term. I was so glad that we got back to Haruhiko in Playback, and the first thing he did was blow Rio in a car. If you haven't seen the Novelist, and you're itching for hornier BL, it's right there.

The End of the World With You "You're Soaked"

From the same team as The Novelsit, we got to experience baby's first fuckboy in this incredible show. Again, I love when we get scenes with couples who aren't ready to work, because they're allowed to have raunchier sex. They get to amp the intensity of the physicality because they need to give a reason why someone was so caught up and missed the warning signs. I actually love the car scene later as a more romantic intimacy scene, but we're focusing on horny here.

Jack o' Frost Birthday Sex

A common theme here with the Japanese offerings is that people are allowed to have more interesting sex scenes right before they split. This is true even in Jack o' Frost. We get a really great oner from the leads that precedes their breakup and Ritsu's accident. I think this might be my favorite of this list because the actors have to build the entire scene together since there aren't any cuts.

Gameboys 2 Bed Scene

Cairo and Gav are one of my favorite pandemic couples we got on screen, and I was quite relieved for them when they finally got to have this moment. We also confirmed they switch, and I love that.

Wedding Plan: Namnuea Showing Off His Stamina

No list for me would be complete without including them. I really loved seeing two gay men go at it after clearing out all of their misunderstandings. They had already had sad goodbye sex. It was thrilling to see them having enthusiastic, athletic sex. This also leads directly to one of my favorite emotional payoffs for a closeted character of all time.

Kiseki: Dear to Me Reunion

The second couple stole this show, but damn if I didn't love the way these two played out sex across multiple years between their characters. These two really suffered, and I really love the way Taro Lin and Hsu Kai captured the changes between these two as Bai Zong Yi grew and matured. This really was a solid sex scene.

Love Class 2: Sungmin and Joo Hyuk

I just really wanna thank them for reassuring me that if Korea wanted to, they could deliver.

Sleep With Me Jeans Scene

I am not a lesbian, but I share their beliefs. This scene was so good. I loved that these two, who have different kinds of disabilities, were able to have a very fun sex scene. I really like when it's clear both characters want to be there.

Only Friends: Boston and Top in the Car

Despite my eventual disdain for this show, I was impressed with Neo and Force for giving this incredibly selfish sex scene between their characters. This entire scene is about injured egos, and it's a standout scene from this show. We won't discuss the rest of the show here.

Thanks for the ask!

Here's mine, what are yours?

The Sexiest 2023 BL Scenes

I think we can all agree that there is an art to executing a sex scene -- and not everybody's an artist. This year, we (and, by that, I mean you) gif'd a couple of masterpieces that range from romantic to...educational. Here are the ones that live in my head rent free, in order of PG-13 to NC-17:

BEST ROLE-PLAY SEX: Bed Friend

If you had told me last year that incorporating cat ears into foreplay would result in one of the hottest scenes in BL, I would've given you bombastic side-eye. But James, the actor who plays Uea, pulled it off, and is probably responsible for a lot of Amazon orders till this day. (Episode 6)

BEST BEACH-SIDE SEX: The Eighth Sense

This entire sequence was so beautifully lit in golden tones, with soft touches, and romantic moments. It almost made you forget about the depression plot. Almost. (Episode 6)

LONG-AWAITED SEX: Hidden Agenda

Joke yearned for Zo in a way that was borderline comical. From the moment Zo kissed Joke like he was trying to give him CPR and then promptly shoved him out of his apartment, I knew every kiss after that would have to come with a parental warning. I'm surprised Joke didn't move in. (Episode 8)

DO-OVER SEX: Love Class 2

The music for this sex scene was so perfectly matched with the caressing and hand closeups. And the fact that it happened after the initially-ghosted Joo Hyuk got Sung Min to reconsider made it even sweeter. (Episode 9)

BEST WET SEX SCENE: Kiseki: Dear to Me

I may have enjoyed Ai Di and Chen Yi's love story more, but Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi were helping us all live out our tall boy fantasies. When he mounted him with a soft bounce, I knew the gif Gods would giveth. (Episode 7)

BEST EUPHORIC SEX: Only Friends

Ray looked like he reached nirvana when he made love to Sand in that sardine can of trailer, so of all their sex scenes, this was my fave. (Episode 9)

BEST INSECURITY-INDUCED SEX: Only Friends

Say what you will about Boston -- and the fandom has said a lot lol -- but if you had to choose a cast member to get you off, you'd choose him in a heartbeat. And yes, this scene was grimey. He f*cked his friend's potential boyfriend in the backseat of his car after manipulating him into believing he was cheated on, but can you blame him? He was probably tired of always having to give and never receive. Plus, Top did this vibrating move that made me wonder who told Force to do that... (Episode 3)

GIF by wanderlust-in-my-soul

BEST CENSORED SEX: Wedding Plan

I'm still mad that this scene wasn't in the Youtube cut. It paints an entirely different picture of their dynamic and their personalities. But thank God for the gif'ers, otherwise I would've missed how ravenous they were when they weren't...wedding planning. 😳 (Episode 6)

BEST WHIPLASH SEX: Be Mine Superstar

To be clear, WE were the ones getting whiplash. One minute, we were watching a sweet love story between an innocent college kid and his idol crush, and the next minute we were watching a masterclass on how to bang your one-night stand (consensually) until he agrees to date you. It's like...Sir, I'm on the train. Could you give a bitch a heads up? (Episode 8)

***

While I am generally envious of every single one of these experiences, I'm even more envious of everyone's knee strength and flexibility. I could never. Rollerblading has ruined me. If I tried half of these positions, I'd have to get physical therapy. 🙃

"I’ll be cheering for CYE (Close Your Eyes) as they face their fears and push their limits. Minwookie, fighting!"

Seonghwa is referring to Jeon Minwook (J-Min) of Close Your Eyes, but for BL connoisseurs like myself, you would know him from LOVE CLASS 2!!

We are one step closer...
