(lol I've used the word 'titillate' more now in this context than probably in the rest of my life...) <br /><br />Take the scene at the end of *Alien*. Sigourney Weaver is hot, but the scene--even before the alien shows up--is not Winston Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780746334199630779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264937.post-44037918696167000342014-01-28T01:52:56.598-05:002014-01-28T01:52:56.598-05:00Does nudity need to involve sex to be titillating....Does nudity need to involve sex to be titillating.matthew christmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330195818856343750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264937.post-87067874071404759172014-01-27T23:27:39.860-05:002014-01-27T23:27:39.860-05:00Yeah, that make the interpretation somewhat more p...Yeah, that make the interpretation somewhat more plausible.
