I don’t know if you’re a fan of the True Blood vampire series on HBO. Well, now make it the True Blood vampire, werewolf and shape shifter and all kinds of other supernatural beings series I suppose, because they have far surpassed the vamps only now.  I began watching this series with my wife from the moment it came out three years ago now, and we both really enjoyed the first season. It had everything we liked, good looking characters, some kind of hot, albeit weird sex scenes, and good acting.

Then along came the second season, which totally sucked – and no I’m not trying to make a pun because the show is about vampires. It really, really sucked. The story lines became totally preposterous, and even your favorite characters began to grate on your nerves. It was like even the actors thought the story lines were totally stupid or something.

Well, season three of True Blood so far has started out a little more promising than the last. This season, we’re getting into werewolves too, some of which my wife thinks are pretty good looking, and I have my fair share of female eye candy too to feast on, so it’s ok.  The third episode in the season though, had some tongues wagging about how bizarre and utterly grotesque it was.   It got me thinking, what is the line between sensual eroticism on screen and just plain gross out sex?

Well, I think that this sex scene between Lorena, Bill’s maker whom he now hates but can’t seem to get away from, definitely tested those bounds. One, the women will hate it because he had sex with her and he’s supposed to be betrothed to his beloved Sookie (who by the way is becoming more annoying as the seasons pass for some reason, but I think that she’s just playing that part of her character up).  Men may not like it either, because well, it just wasn’t “hot”.

What happened was a heat of the moment rough sex interlude between these two, with their clothes on, you didn’t even see Bill’s ass which you usually do when he does his sex scenes, and you saw no boobs on Lorena either.  Basically he twists Lorena’s head around so that it’s facing the floor (I guess vampires are totally flexible that way), with blood dripping out of her mouth in ecstasy. Bill screams after it’s over, and they cut to black.

We were kinda grossed out. Not an ounce of gratification from that sex scene!
