7. I think it's somewhat natural to be uncomfortable with watching it
...as it's certainly out of the comfort zone of many heterosexual males. I was uncomfortable watching "Herald and Maude" the first time, and watching someone getting led by a chain connected to his Prince Albert, for similar reasons. It was unfamiliar, and, thus, a little weird.

That said, it probably doesn't belong as the lead in a review, especially considering I can't imagine it's all that graphic. (I think it's natural for some people, independent of gender and sexual orientation, to be grossed out by graphic sex on the big screen, and were I writing a review, I'd probably include a "there is way less left to the imagination that you'd expect" disclaimer somewhere. Hell, I know some people who were uncomfortable watching penguin courtship in "The March of the Penguins.") I think there is a way to discuss discomfort in a review, more tactfully.
