okay so, I just saw this post and I know that what Im gonna say here isn't that person's situation, but still it made me think of that
a lot of people complain about how bingqiu's first time at mai gu ridge wasn't romantical, how it was uncomfortable to read and shit like that but like,,,,, that's exactly the purpose of it..?
yes, svsss is a romantic story with some drama in it, but pidw (the original story before sy transmigrated) is literally just porn, and the trope of "we need to have sex to save the world" or "we need to have sex or else I / everyone die(s)" is used a lot in pidw and we know that from what sqq and sqh tell us in the svsss
both svsss fans and even pidw fans (showed in airplane's extras) talk / theorize about lbg not even wanting / liking sex at all, he (and his wifes sometimes) didnt have a choice, either bc of those two situations I mentioned above it juts bc it was either having sex or having xin mo taking control of him
mai gu ridge is a scene that serves like a painful reminder, for both the readers and for sqq, that unfortunately even if he changed the genre of pidw, it is still originally a world run by porn logic
sqq didn't had an option, it was either let himself get fucked by lbh or everyone else dies and the world ends
lbh didn't had an option, he lost all his sanity AND was being controlled by xin mo
just like lbg or his wifes, bingqiu didn't had am option at that moment
it's not supposed to be a romantic or much less a cute scene, it's supposed to be uncomfortable just like how it is, it's not a good sex scene bc it wasn't supposed to be
sqq keeps saying how painful the whole things is, he's bleeding, and lbh starts crying from guilt as soon as he gets control over his mind again, in the extra of 100 questions to know each other, lbh doesn't even consider mai gu ridge as their first time, (at least I think it was him saying that and not sqq- I could be wrong tho) to him, their first time was at the bamboo house, in the bing-ge vs bing-mei extra
so yeah, if you wanna complain about it being a bad writen sex scene or an uncomfortable scene, maybe try looking at the context of all of it first
also, fucking hate when people blame lbh, he's as much of a victim as sqq!! I'm gonna say this again: he was being controlled by xin mo, he had no idea what he was doing, his body and mind were being controlled by xin mo, he had no idea what he was doing
saying that him crying later was to manipulate or guilt trip sqq is also some bullshit but I might talk about his "manipulative crying" on another post
anyways, mai gu ridge is meant to be a terrible sex scene that leaves u thinking "wtf am I reading..?!" and more of u should stop being fucking stupid (not a problem if u really dont get the meaning of the scene, but it is a problem if u complain about it just bc u wanted good sex and got unsatisfied with a scene that wasnt supposed to give u that!)
