There was so much buzz around when the teaser of Lust Stories 2 was dropped. Fans of the first instalment could not wait to see what the makers had to bring to their screens this time around because the first part set high standards by focusing on female pleasure through the female gaze. Even a decent amount of men online understood that Lust Stories was not a soft porn film made to pleasure them but it was a take on how women are never really expected to be sexual. But this time around, the men on social media have lost their bolts because they are sharing the time stamps of the sex scenes in Lust Stories 2, and it is utterly disgusting.
If you have been scrolling Twitter since yesterday, you must have seen #TamannaahBhatia and #MrunalThakur trending all day long. And when you click on those hashtags expecting that people must be praising their performances in Lust Stories 2, but will be shocked to see how the men on the micro-blogging platform have been sharing time stamps of the sex scenes from the film.
It is also interesting to note how the sex scenes from Konkona Sen Sharma’s film featuring Amruta Subhash and Tillotama Shome have not been mentioned in the timestamp list. The reason for this is that those scenes are less sexual in nature and more about how the two women come to learn about their kinks of voyeurism and exhibitionism.
These men have also been sharing edits and gifs of the intimate scenes in the film. This is proof of how these men wag their tongues the moment they spot a wearing a sleeveless blouse or getting intimate with a man on screen. It is shocking how there is no shame when it comes to exhibiting such vile behaviour. And it reflects in the mentality of these people in real life as well because it will be them who will be eve-teasing and harassing a girl when a sliver of her skin is visible through her clothes.
One of the timestamps in the list is of a rape scene in Lust Stories 2. This itself is enough to prove that these men do not care if the sex is consensual or not, they will enjoy it forcefully and take pleasure in a woman’s resistance. A major reason why these men behave like sex-depraved maniacs on social media is because of the lack of conversation around sex in our culture.

Content on sex education is treated like soft porn so you can only imagine how deep the brains of these men are in the gutter with no hope of getting any better.
