Reading Assignment V (Chapter 17)

In a great number of older movies, the cliche was established to show a couple before a fire on a bearskin rug getting ready to get busy; just before actual action, the camera pans to the drapes.
This, while insulting to the expectant perverts (Peewee) in the audience, who are then turned off (of the story) and are no longer invested, justifies the films' being called "romance" and not "porno," and deeply impacts the participants, the woman getting clingy and the man getting angry, taking it out on bowling pins, only to reconcile later, having learned about gender differences and love.
