Mainstream mentioning of facials

I felt creepy tonight so I did a montage of the beautiful Kristen Condon.

It's from season 2. It's a pretty good show!

Here's the thing about the scene. The recipient, Issa, is immediately disgusted and freaks out. Despite it being and accident and the guy feeling bad, she storms out of his place. The general "feel" is a mix between it being disgusting/degrading and Issa perhaps not being as sexually open as she thought (there's a lot of backstory that could influence her reaction that I won't get into).

The vast majority of the time I see facials mentioned/implied in mainstream media, it is in a negative light. They are portrayed as unquestionably gross and degrading, a warped vision of sex created by porn. I have no problem with it being portrayed as gross, since a lot of people genuinely feel that way, but what bothers me is a) the unquestioned view that it is degrading (and therefore something you shouldn't do) and b) the fact that there's hardly ever any instance of a (female) character proclaiming their enjoyment of facials. Some think it's degrading, some don't, and some (women) think it's degrading and enjoy it for that; there's no "intrinsic" meaning of a facial. How people interpret it is a function of their own experiences, their innate attractions, and popular portrayals. The constant negative portrayal of it biases people and I think impairs the understanding that for many people--men and women--facials are a positive, enjoyable aspect of sex.

You've got a great point here, but I'd go further and say that this applies to almost all sex acts shown or mentioned on TV and film. They are always played for laughs or disgust, usually from the woman. It really is a case of portraying women as being disgusted with sex or implying they should be, or that a woman who does like sex is somehow the butt of a joke. Typical sexist rubbish.

I'll bet her BJ's are awesome!

Anne Hathaway on SNL... At around 1:45 it turns into a Hulk porn parody.

I'm sure this clip was already mentioned, but just in case...

Season 8 of Family Guy. Quagmire asks his date how long she's been in beauty school and tells her "tonight we're doing facials"

Youtube: "Quagmire's Seduction in Full Swing"

A funny scene - here are some screenshots of Maggie's part. I'll try and post the clip later in Platinum. I'd recommend the show, it is really well made.

Not facial related, but swallowing related.
