for the love of Claire!
after all the hot hetero and gay sex we’ve watched week after week on Six Feet Under, they let us down with Claire’s lesbian sexcapade (starting at the end of one show and then ending at the beginning of the show the next week.) the whole 5 minute relationship was really poorly written. this quote off the official site reminds us of bad 50’s lesbian pulp fiction…

“Claire tries to set the mood for a night of passion with Edie, but even the most romantic setting can’t turn her into a lesbian. When Edie again fails to give Claire an orgasm, the two finally agree that Claire isn’t gay.”

Hmmm, we’ve seen a few guys that Claire’s been very passionate for fail to give her an orgasm… does that mean she’s not straight? the previews hinted of another classic 50’s lesbian pulp stereotype-storyline to come… Edie the jilted lesbian snaps!

and please, any lesbian who knows what’s up would have taken her time before going down on Claire. the big trick (beyond knowing how a woman’s body works) is building the excitement. holding back and holding back until she begs you to go down on her! (well that and using a couple fingers at the same time.)

anyway – since Six Feet Under left you hanging, here’s our similar, true story. with a more fruitful outcome…

in our mid-20’s in the course of an evenings conversation about sex at our apartment with a close girlfriend (who was 22, straight, same boyfriend for 6 years, from a very religious family, no drugs or alcohol), she reveals that although she loves sex, she thinks she’s never had an orgasm! as the conversation continues, we tell her we’ve been with someone with the same situation. then go into the story a bit and, not in a suggestive way, but more that 20-somethin sex-brag-talk, we say that we “fixed that problem” for them. to which she replies “PROVE IT”

so we did; that night. and a couple more times after that. to be honest, she wasn’t even that hard to get off. as simple as this sounds, it seems she just didn’t know how it all worked. so after a couple weeks of incredibly hot sex we both went back to partners of the same sexual preference. she with a new found understanding of her body and me with a new appreciation for those 2 little words.
