Thanks optom!
In what you say, you bring up something new:
O.K here come the typos cause I am laughing so much.I agree plenty of straight couples have sex through the back door,in Greece it is jokingly referred to as the greek contraception, it is so popular.I think Ennis only had 2 kids, not so many I think.Also wasnt it Ennis who decided to opt out of sex rather than use a rubber.I think Alma was still willing but did not want any more kids,as she thought Ennis could not support them.I still think he breathed a sigh of relief.After all if he still really wanted sex with Allma he could have still used the back door,no risk of kids that way,and no rubbers either.the no rubbers was an excuse or get out of it clause for him.
I also do not think he had a particulrly high sex drive.
I do concede gay men can love sex with both sexes,particularly if they have a high sex drive.I think for Ennis sex was very much linked to love,more so than with Jack.But maybe I am just a romantic.
......
Fiona (optom), you bring up sex drive!! Maybe that is why, Ennis not having much of a sex drive: that we do NOT see Ennis and Jack not having sex anymore ?? In the BM movie!!
Hugs!!
