Absolutely agree.

The filmmakers expertly conveyed the lust of the moment while never veering into the explicit. Ennis and Jack are fully revealed here as sexual beings, and I really value this depiction as a gay man who feels gay screen characters are often neutered out of a sense of decorum or "good taste".

Totally. It's graphic and explicit without being porno (in the sense of being artificial - in a porn you don't necessarily believe that the sex is spontaneous passion). The first time I saw it I was shocked because it felt like seeing two guys just fall into it. And yeah it happens that it slips out of the 'rosebud', depends on different things.

I second that emotion. The way they stare into each other's eyes - Jack so plaintively, if that's the right word, and then down at each other's, uh, packages just rocks my socks off. Never caught that in all five of my theater viewings. It's just the s***, nodamean, Vern?

I didn't see them look at each other's packages!! Looks like I'll have to watch it again to see that part. Where does it happen exactly?
Barb, I can't believe you just used knowwhatimean, Vern. That made me laugh outloud.

I think it's right after Ennis says, "Whadya doin'?" and they're kneeling there, kind of grabbing at each other, and Jack hasn't undone his belt and fly yet. First, there's that eye-to-eye stare, then some more grabbing around the face and neck and shoulders, and then their eyes head south at the same time and linger there just before Jack undoes the belt. Both their mouths are open just a little bit the whole time.
Here I thought the reunion make-out was the sexiest damned thing ever recorded on film, and this trumped it. Hell, this hand could go it alone. ;)
