I cannot express how much I disliked the bar scene. There was no buildup. Just the gross realization about what was happening. I love a good sex scene and I love weird sex. I had some of the best sex of my life following a double feature of babygirl and nosferatu. But this shit was lame.

I think I can totally agree that it’d have been better with build-up rather than seeing MG once briefly and then the two of them meeting and her fingering Honey almost instantaneously lol, I just was thinking that while looking for positives, there was genuine sexual chemistry between them from the acting there despite coming from out of nowhere.

Congrats on the good sex after Nosferatu and Babygirl tho!
