"You can only be so much of an adult on a CW show, because you're not even really allowed to kiss with tongue. That aspect

Lmao these comments, idk if it’s a matter of WANTING to tongue kiss your colleagues, I think it’s about having weird arbitrary limits on intimacy the show is depicting anyway. If we’re seeing two teen characters literally having sex (which Riverdale has done!), why is a line being crossed by depicting a tongue kiss? Why isn’t the standard more consistent?

Right? I mean why not leave it up to the actors and intimacy coordinators?

My first thought was that they forbid it so actresses don't complain about creepy actors forcing their tongue into their mouth, but I doubt the CW cares much about women being comfortable.

Yeah there's a spectacular misread going on here lol (I can't blame people though)

[hellcatshalala]

exactly lmao what difference does a tongue really makes when you're already sucking off someone's lips?

[gossymer]

Idk, I've seen enough period dramas and movies to really enjoy them when we don't have excessive PDA or gratuitous sex scenes.

Sometimes it feels like there's more character and relationship development and intimacy without those scenes - or maybe it cause writers insert them to excuse lazy writing?

[dadeepish]

Yeah I think that may have been what she was getting at.
