Hit the floor 2013 full movie gay sex scene
I thought the character portraits were among the most vivid and compelling of any I've ever read. The horror elements were good too, but I viewed them as flavor to move the book along as we learned more about the lives of the characters and the strange history of Derry.
All that being said, the scene toward the end where Beverly has sex with all the other kids seemed extraneous to me. And I can deal with extraneous if its otherwise entertaining or adds something to the read. But to me, this scene was just an upsetting, kind of gross, kind of sad thing tacked into the narrative for no real reason.
The explanation that she decided she needed to do it to "bring them all together" so they could find their way out of the tunnels just didn't make sense. There's no rhyme or reason to why she would make that conclusion. There's no reference point, no way that it ties into another element of the story.
I wish this scene had made it to the cutting room floor. I've read an interview with King where he explains the scene as "childhood meeting adulthood" or something, but I'm not sold. Anyone have a good defense of this scene? Something I'm missing? I don't have an issue with the scene or ending on a bunch of levels.
For one, although the kids are technically having sex, it didn't read as eroticized for me. For another, Bev is reclaiming something in that scene Something her father was trying to take away, and something that she loses later on in her abusive marriage. So it didn't feel out of nowhere to me at all, but an element of Bev she repressed, a time when she moved from child to adult, on her own terms.
A time when she had power she forgot. The other reality is that kids do have sexual thoughts, feelings, and even actions. That's not wrong or bad when expressed with other kids. In the context of the story, they've all just experienced a kind of cosmic terror: the "sex" is a very human act, intimate, with love.
So I wouldn't categorize it as a "gang bang" or otherwise diminish it, nor does it make King a "perv". Writing about something doesn't mean you, personally, would do it. And writing about kids having a sexual experience doesn't mean a grown up finds kids sexually appealing.

It's a little dangerous to act like writers must want to do everything they write about Pennywise killed a lot of kids in that book I don't think anyone thinks King is a wannabe child murderer.

Bevs dad was a perversion of a father figure who had total control over Bev and her blooming sexuality. When Bev decides to have relations with her best friends in a dark, stinky sewer filled with bad emotions and memories, she is, imo, cleansing herself and her friends by replacing those terrible things with love, light, friendship and hope.
In my view, it's like a house blessing in an obscure way.
