How can I tell whether they use condoms in sex scenes on TV?

[JohnSm123]

As I have told you on another thread, I have a fetish for condoms. I like fantasizing about sex with condoms as well as sex without condoms. Each version turns me on in a different way.

However, in most sex scenes in movies and TV series, it is not clear whether the participants use condoms or not. Before you make any jokes, yes, I know the actors don't really have sex on screen, except porn of course. However, I still want to know, in-universe, in the mind of the writer/director in question, whether the heroes/heroines use a condom so I know exactly how to fantasize about them when I jack off to the scene in question. Otherwise, no matter which of the two versions I go with, I will always have doubts which will kinda turn me off.

Then again, in another sense, maybe that doubt, that mystery, turns me on too. Maybe I too, when and if I start writing such stories, should leave such details unclear. What do you think?

In any case, how about we make a subforum about that? In each thread, the OP poster will bring up a sex scene, and then we will all try to figure out whether a condom was used in universe.

Is that a good idea?

What a waste of time. It doesn't matter. Most scenes have the genitals covered, so need for condoms.

I think you're missing the point.

Unless they specifically talk about condom use, assume no condom.

I don't think that's always the case. I have seen movies/series in which they didn't talk about condom use, but they later said they want no kids and didn't seem worried about pregnancy.

That does not mean condom use. Many sexually active woman are on birth control.

Well, there was a series in which they had a lot of sex scenes, without mentioning condoms, and when she went like, "I want kids," the man went like, "Forget it." He didn't seem worried that she might have already gone off the pill.

If I was hooking up with a guy who suddenly sprung on me he wants kids I would tell him "goodbye." because I don't want kids.

Does the lack of mention of condoms make it the TV shows or movies less enjoyable?

Just imagine it how you want it to be. No story, whether written or.on TV, ever provides all the details. Doing so would make a tedious story indeed. So, experiencing a story always involves the reader/listener/viewer using imagination to fill in the details not made explicit (i.e. the details not important to the plot).

I think we were more condom focused during the HIV crisis. Just look at how many people today think a condom is just to prevent pregnancy. But there are a lot of things you can catch besides HIV. I always laughed at how a condom added comedy to the moment. Sometimes I would put it on upside down and struggled to unroll it. Then realizing my mistake and the fact my precum was now on the outside would toss it and grab another. Then the unrolling over your swollen cockhead and the pain and wincing that induced. Wouldn't make for a very romantic movie scene.

NOPE, I'm NOT. If you're using your imagination, then just use it and you can think they either did or didn't, no matter whether they actually did or didn't.

You are assuming they are hard. Not saying it never happens but don’t think it happens all the time.

I don't think that's always the case. I have seen movies/series in which they didn't talk about condom use, but they later said they want no kids and didn't seem worried about pregnancy.

The guys are probably fixed

I always thought in TV sex scenes they got around the condom problem by doing anal.

The mystery helps me because my mind can fill in the details any way I want

In historical dramas, you can't use condoms so if it is unsimulated sex the use of birth control is required.

Not only were the intercourse scenes (and other sexually explicit scenes) in Shortbus (2006) completely real and unfaked, to make the actors copulating during the orgy scene more comfortable the director and camera crew were also naked during the shoot. How's that for artistic integrity?

There's actually a union position called an intimacy coordinator. It's their job to make sure there's always some sort of padded barrier between actors during sex scenes so that neither parties feel any stimulation.

Heck, this applies to nipples too. If you've seen an actors nipples in a sex scene in a post union show or movie, it's actually a prothsthetic or CGI.
