How “When Harry Met Sally” Ruined Everything
“When Harry Met Sally” is one of the most popular romantic comedies of our time. It is iconic. From the the “men and women can’t be friends” speech, to the “one the side” discussion, to the “sandwich shop scene” the movie is legnedary. This movie has become part of our American culture, part of our lexicon, and it ruined everything.
*For Women: *
Damnit, Sally Albright! Why did you have to tell on us? I am not saying that women ALWAYS fake it or that I fake it all. Okay… I have faked it once or twice. It was a little white lie. I was either tired or nervous or some other unknown, unsurmountable reason that I knew I was not going to “get there” and I faked it so it would be over and make my man happy and feel “succuessful.” Guys do not understand that we can enjoy sex without coming. We want to and the getting there is fun, but it is not a “failure” if we do not make it there everytime. Now if we never get there, check your GPS, there might be an issue. We do it so we do not hurt your feelings. You guys are so sensitive.
Here is the thing, Guys, we are not just in it for the orgasm. We like sex, we like the feeling, the closeness, everything whether we come or not. Women are not as goal orientated. But, I am told I am lucky in the orgasm department. Because I am somehow “gifted” in the responsiveness department my need to fake it is not so dire.
But for the rest of women, Sally Albright is a harpy! Because of her character and that wildly popular movie, guys just do not trust us anymore. Because we do not have the same kind of “evidence” that men have, they basically have to take our word for it. I am thinking, “how can you not tell the difference” but, of course, if you are a wonderful actress and highly motivated, I suppose one could be very convincing. Of course, if you are that much into it to fake it, one would think you can be into it enough to really, really enjoy it. And if you cannot seem to get off, tell your man. Trust me; he wants nothing more than to please you. Most guys are like Malcolm X when it comes to making you come. “Any means necessary.” If he is not, he is probably a selfish bastard in and out of bed. Consider yourself warned.
Men put such an emphasis on sex that they think that if we are lying in the bedroom then we are lying in other areas of our life as well. Men, really, it is not that important to us. You probably hate that. But orgasms and sex and general do not make or break us as individuals. It should not make or break you.
For Men:
Harry Burns messed it up for you guys too. Now that we know that every woman you talk to for any length of time you want to bang does not do well for you. We know, maybe subconsciously, that you have probably envisioned us naked, but we just think you are pigs and move on. Some of us know this and keep this in the back of our minds, “just in case.” We all need dick on speed dial. Not saying that you guys are easy or that you would compromise our relationship just for sex. It is just nice to be wanted and more than likely, we want you back. On some level, maybe deep,deep down. We just think about it differently.
Would it shatter the entire social order if you knew that we think about you guys too? And we talk about it. Yes, the girls that are tittering in the ladies room or over coffee in the break room at work we are talking about you. We are not necessarily thinking about you naked. Girls are not really wired that way. We are more or less how you would perform or which position is your favorite. Sometimes we take bets.
What are we going to do? There is a breakdown of trust between men and women. Maybe there always was. Before we had social constraints that kept the of world of men and the world of women separate. Now that those are so intermingled, we have to actually communicate and tell the truth. Oh, the horror.
So let me break it down.
Men, sometimes we fake it. It is not personal. We are not trying to upset you or deceive you, just sometimes it is just not going to happen. Bear with us. Keep trying. Let us know how we can help you help us.
Women, face it, men want to have sex with you. This is not a way to objectify you or make you less of a person. They just like it, maybe not more than we do, but they do think about sex differently. They believe that you are competent, intelligent, and have feelings and look awesome in some fishnets. They are okay with this compartmentalization. Maybe you can be too.
Now the truth is out there…. I’ll have what she’s having.
