    Lesbian sex scenes may be included in film, but it is rare that love exists or survives the story, as thankfully is the case in Bound, directed by the Wachowski brothers. Rebecca Alvin writes in Lesbian Kama Sutra Sapphosophy article Lesbianism in Popular Cinema/Film that '...mainstream films avoid true love for its female homosexuals like the plague, they explore lesbian sex only when it is motivated by experimentation. The lesbian can experience her sexuality only as a fleeting, experimental affair, as in Emmanuelle or Personal Best, or as evidence of mental instability, as in Rachel...' Quite true! I am disappointed recently by the experimental lesbian sex in Six Feet Under, when Clare Fisher is categorically not allowed to have any lesbian sex at all, what a missed opportunity, does anyone one else feel disappointed or am I one of those lesbians who is never satisfied that the role of a lesbian is shown in film at all...?
