Rogue (2007)
Als der amerikanische Reisereporter Peter McKell im Kakadu National Park gemeinsam mit anderen Touristen eine Bootsfahrt unternimmt, die die Noblesse der australischen Natur samt seiner ausgeprägten Tierwelt und Flora unterstreichen soll, greift ein riesiges Krokodil die wehrlose Gruppe an.
Inmitten des Territoriums des Krokodils gefangen, müssen die Touristen versuchen, jenem Menschenfleisch-hungrigen Monster zu entkommen.
Der beste Part des Films ist jener, in dem der Kneipenbesitzer in Peters Glas spuckt. (6/10)

🥀The Likes of You and Me🥀
↳Historical AU/Game Of Thrones/Vikings Inspired.
↳Katerina Petrova's idyllic life is shattered when she is given as a spoil of war to Elijah Mikaelson by his brother Niklaus after attacking her village in search of the moonstone. Under his watchful gaze and lingering touches, Katerina discovers there is more to this ritual than either brother lets on, and that she has a larger part to play than she could ever dream. ↳Relationships: Elijah x Katherine Pierce (as Katerina Petrova) centric, minor Klaus x Caroline ↳Status: In progress, 20k+ words ↳Slow burn, angst, romance, sexual tension eventual smut, smut. ↳Warnings: Mentions of blood, death, power imbalance, human sacrifice, use of adult language
↳Here is a small sample, edited for brevity.
🥀Read this fic here on AO3🥀
Niklaus turned to face her, satisfaction clear on his face. Her stomach twisted at that smile.
"Perhaps you need some time to recover your memories, my lady. I am nothing if not a patient man."
Katerina resisted the urge to scoff. His voice was low, yet she heard every word he spoke over the bustling of the soldiers around them. Some glanced at her with a kind of pity, but she couldn't understand why. Whose tent was she about to enter?
Katerina stepped into the tent none too graciously, courtesy of Niklaus. When she lifted her head to survey, she saw that the tent was identical in stature on the inside, yet there was an inherently different feeling to it. Where Niklaus’s was dark, intimidating, and sparsely furnished, this one was warm and almost inviting. Candles bathed the tent in light, and the heat from the brazier enveloped her like a summer breeze. She stared at the multitude of shelves full of books, quills, ink, and extra candles. Pillows and thick, warm furs lay across chairs and chaises. One or two baskets of fruit punctuated a table here and there, but documents were scattered across any flat surface she could see.
They were yellow and curling, some maps, some letters. There was a strange chaotic order to it all. Swords and their scabbards hung from a rack, with a few axes joining the array, glinting from the sunshine pouring through the tent opening. She saw no bed but assumed that it must've been in the connecting tent. This tent was clearly lived in. This was the tent of a lord commander.
"Brother!" Katerina’s eyes fell on a man, sitting at a desk with a candle, pouring over the parchments. "I've brought you a spoil of war."
Katerina's jaw tensed as Niklaus's jovial words echoed through the canvas walls, and she saw the man stand from the desk and walk towards the pair. Without a moment to look upon the man's face, Katerina felt Niklaus's cold and unyielding hand collide with her back as he cruelly pushed her onto the ground. Aching knees colliding against hard, packed earth again, she grunted at the impact, the palm of her hands skidding across the mud.
"I've lost a moonstone, and you've gained a whore."
The young woman started at the words being exchanged, though she did not have to lift her head to know who she was kneeling in front of. The man Niklaus called brother. Elijah Mikaelson.
"I am not-!"
Her words were quickly lost as Niklaus laughed and continued.
"She seems to not be able to recall anything of the treasure, so I leave it to you to get some sense into her while I prepare for certain… arrangements. Enjoy yourself, brother. She'll warm your bed nicely."
Katerina froze. Her bones ached where they hit the ground, and she soon found herself questioning whether it was prudent for her to get up again at all. The brothers' words were soon lost to her, her own blood rushing in her ears as she felt true fear for the second time again. If Niklaus Mikaelson was said to be the Devil incarnate, Elijah Mikaelson was hell personified. As the commander of the entire army, he was the one that sanctioned all the forces' barbaric attacks, and he supposedly did it with nothing less than a nod of his head. The brothers were a terrible curse upon the empire, and they had brought that destruction to her own lands.
"You cannot keep me here!" Neither brother turned to look at her.
"I hope these arrangements will prove to be worthwhile." Elijah replied, his voice low and warm. Finally, after a pause, his eyes reached hers.
Raising her chin defiantly, she hardened her stare in response, and, after studying her for a moment, the man soon turned to look back at his blonde counterpart. Niklaus smiled sinisterly.
"They will be. So, I will leave you to it, brother. It seems like you've got your hands full."
Niklaus indicated his leaving with a nod, and let himself out of Elijah’s tent, exuding the same sadistic glee that she'd witnessed in the threshold of her home, and he was gone.
Katerina had dropped her gaze to her hands, noticing the dirt that had gotten caked underneath her fingernails. Silence filled the tent now that they were left alone, and she suddenly found herself without words for the first time in her life. After all, her words would simply not be heard. When she lifted her head again, she saw that Elijah had returned to his desk and promptly resumed working.
Another few seconds of silence passed, then she heard two quiet words.
"Come here."
Dropping her hands to her sides, she realized what sort of predicament she had found herself in. She was alone in a tent with Elijah Mikaelson.

‘Scrublands’ Season 2: Luke Carroll, Debra Lawrance & More To Join Returning Luke Arnold & Bella Heathcote In Stan Mystery Drama; First Look Here
EXCLUSIVE: Luke Carroll (The Artful Dodger), Debra Lawrance (Please Like Me) and David Roberts (Please Like Me) are among the new stars of Australian drama Scrublands, which is gearing up for its second season on Stan and 9 Network.
Also starring alongside returning leads Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote in Scrublands: Silver are Tasma Walton (The Twelve), Luke Pegler (Hacksaw Ridge), Caroline Brazier (Year Of), Joel Jackson (Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door), Toby Truslove (La Brea), Sarah Roberts (Home and Away), Hamish Michael (The Twelve), Radek Jonak (The Surfer) and Damian De Montemas (Hounds of Love).
Above you can see an exclusive first-look image of season 2, with filming now underway in Augusta, Western Australia.
The season is being adapted from author Chris Hammer’s novel ‘Silver’, and here are some new plot details: A year after the life changing events of season 1, investigative journalist Martin Scarsden (Arnold) has returned to his coastal hometown, Port Silver, to set up a new life with partner Mandy Bond (Heathcote). When he arrives to find his childhood friend Jasper brutally murdered and Mandy the prime suspect, Martin struggles with doubts – about Mandy and about his own ability to recognise the truth. As he pushes forward to find the real murderer and absolve Mandy, Martin confronts secrets about Port Silver and his long-buried past.
The series comes from Easy Tiger and Third Act Stories as a co-production for Stan and 8 Network. Martha Coleman, Ian Collie, Rob Gibson and Felicity Packard are the producers. Ben Young is the director, and the writers are Felicity Packard, Fiona Kelly and Jock Serong, with Michael Healy and Andy Ryan from the 9 Network and Cailah Scobie and Alicia Brown for Stan the executive producers. Major production investment came from Screenwest, Lotterywest and the WA Regional Screen Fund, and the season was developed with the assistance of Screenwest and Lotterywest. Abacus Media Rights is the international distributor.
We revealed the official confirmation of season 2 in March when we had news of Stan’s 2024 slate. The reorder had been widely expected with sources within the streamer talking glowingly about its performance.
“Following the immense success of Scrublands, we look forward to working with Easy Tiger and Third Act Stories, alongside lead cast Luke and Bella, as we bring audiences another thrilling season,” said Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie.
9 Network Head of Drama Andy Ryan added: “Set in the stark coastal beauty of Western Australia, Scrublands: Silver will wow audiences with a gripping crime mystery in a unique environment. With the outstanding Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote returning along with the creative maestros at Easy Tiger and Third Act Stories, viewers should strap in for another emotional rollercoaster of world class premium drama.”
Easy Tiger co-chief Ian Collie said it was “great to step back into the world of Mandy and Martin, played perfectly by Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote. Like the first season, we are witness from the get-go to a violent tragedy that implicates both our heroes.”
The series is the latest to film in Western Australia, which is being with other states such as Victoria and New South Wales to attract local and international projects, with production credit schemes and other soft money readily available in most. “This is Stan’s fourth project in Western Australia in the last twelve months, and shows our commitment to collaborating with local cast and creatives so that we can deliver fresh and exceptional Originals for Australian and global audiences,” said Scobie.
“We are pleased to welcome Stan and Easy Tiger back to WA and are excited to see Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote reprise their roles, this time in our stunning South West,” said Screenwest CEO Rikki Lea Bestall. “Augusta is abuzz with activity with WA producer Martha Coleman and WA director Ben Young heading up a fantastic Western Australian crew.”

Psychological Horror: Book Recs
Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
Sophia was made for him. Her perfect husband. She can feel it in her bones. He is perfect. Their home together in Arcadia Gardens is perfect. Everything is perfect. It's just that he's away so much. So often. He works so hard. She misses him. And he misses her. He says he does, so it must be true. He is the perfect husband and everything is perfect. But sometimes Sophia wonders about things. Strange things. Dark things. The look on her husband's face when he comes back from a long business trip. The questions he will not answer. The locked basement she is never allowed to enter. And whenever she asks the neighbors, they can't quite meet her gaze... But everything is perfect. Isn't it?
Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu
In the twelve unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, the strange is made familiar and the familiar strange, such that a girl growing wings on her legs feels like an ordinary rite of passage, while a bug-infested house becomes an impossible, Kafkaesque nightmare. Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, and unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us. Mesmerizing, electric, and wholly original, Kim Fu’s Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century blurs the boundaries of the real and fantastic, offering intricate and surprising insights into human nature.
Such a Pretty Smile by Kristi DeMeester
A biting novel from an electrifying new voice, Such a Pretty Smile is a heart-stopping tour-de-force about powerful women, angry men, and all the ways in which girls fight against the forces that try to silence them. There’s something out there that’s killing. Known only as The Cur, he leaves no traces, save for the torn bodies of girls, on the verge of becoming women, who are known as trouble-makers; those who refuse to conform, to know their place. Girls who don’t know when to shut up. 2019: Thirteen-year-old Lila Sawyer has secrets she can’t share with anyone. Not the school psychologist she’s seeing. Not her father, who has a new wife, and a new baby. And not her mother—the infamous Caroline Sawyer, a unique artist whose eerie sculptures, made from bent twigs and crimped leaves, have made her a local celebrity. But soon Lila feels haunted from within, terrorized by a delicious evil that shows her how to find her voice—until she is punished for using it. 2004: Caroline Sawyer hears dogs everywhere. Snarling, barking, teeth snapping that no one else seems to notice. At first, she blames the phantom sounds on her insomnia and her acute stress in caring for her ailing father. But then the delusions begin to take shape—both in her waking hours, and in the violent, visceral sculptures she creates while in a trance-like state. Her fiancé is convinced she needs help. Her new psychiatrist waves her “problem” away with pills. But Caroline’s past is a dark cellar, filled with repressed memories and a lurking horror that the men around her can’t understand. As past demons become a present threat, both Caroline and Lila must chase the source of this unrelenting, oppressive power to its malignant core. Brilliantly paced, unsettling to the bone, and unapologetically fierce, Such a Pretty Smile is a powerful allegory for what it can mean to be a woman, and an untamed rallying cry for anyone ever told to sit down, shut up, and smile pretty.
Good Rich People by Eliza Jane Brazier
Lyla has always believed that life is a game she is destined to win, but her husband, Graham, takes the game to dangerous levels. The wealthy couple invites self-made success stories to live in their guesthouse and then conspires to ruin their lives. After all, there is nothing worse than a bootstrapper. Demi has always felt like the odds were stacked against her. At the end of her rope, she seizes a risky opportunity to take over another person’s life and unwittingly becomes the subject of the upstairs couple’s wicked entertainment. But Demi has been struggling all her life, and she’s not about to go down without a fight. In a twist that neither woman sees coming, the game quickly devolves into chaos and rockets toward an explosive conclusion. Because every good rich person knows: in money and in life, it’s winner take all. Even if you have to leave a few bodies behind.

Sun and Moon Epilogue
This is it! This marks the end of this story! If you’re interested in the prequel, check out Reinne! It’s under the Reinne tag here or you can find it on my Ao3!
~~~
Year 1, Month 1, Day 15
Skies Haven at night was truly a sight to behold. Festival lights were still hung between the buildings, and their twinkling glow drew Halle’s eyes up to the sky. It was a cloudy night, but she could still see the moon. It was nearly full, throwing the shadows on the ground into sharp relief.
She took a deep breath.
This was the first time she’d left the temple in a while. The thought of facing the people she'd grown up around, giving them smiles and exchanging pleasantries still made her feel sick, and only the reminder of her patients had brought her here. Her hood was pulled low over her face, but as she approached her goal, she slowly lowered it to better see the sky. There was no one around anyway, as late as it was. She was lucky Adrian had agreed to meet with her at this time.
Why was she still here?
Halle had always promised herself that after the sacrifice, she would leave. Skies Haven was a large city with many resources, and there were people out there without that that needed her healing. She didn’t want to wait around for someone she knew was never fully coming back.
She could still remember the heat of fires hitting her face, the priestesses lighting the roof’s braziers while they sung songs to the heavens. Razz and Basille had clasped hands, raising them to the sky as prayers were called around them.
The ceremony of sacrifice was a perfectly choreographed dance, but Halle hadn’t known her part in it. She had stood stock-still, staring as Razz pressed a kiss to Basille’s mouth and feeling tears starting to fill her eyes.
Then the choreography broke, Halle jumping as Basille suddenly clasped her hands. She’d looked up, seeing Razz sitting on the flat slab of rock upon which he would soon be sacrificed. Halle got the feeling that Basille was meant to be beside him, but she cupped Halle’s cheeks, smoothing one thumb over her skin to brush away a falling tear.
“You don’t have to watch this,” she’d murmured, and Halle had hesitated.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to believe that you’re gone unless I do.”
Basille had smiled, tears jumping to her own eyes. They’d both known that was bullshit. “I won’t be, though. You’ll see me again.”
So Halle had gone, leaving her best friend with a hug. Leaving her to… She’d pressed her back to the roof’s door, listened as the last prayers were called to the goddesses. It was easy to picture what was on the other side of the wood. Razz’s hand would be on Basille’s cheek, foreheads pressed together. The sheer cloth they wore would be spread over the cold marble, and the fires would throw out a golden light that made them almost glow.
The tell-tale swish of an axe had had Halle sliding to the ground. She’d landed hard on the top step, head falling to rest against her knees as a sob had wracked her body.
Fuck the goddesses. Fuck whatever stupid plan they had that made this necessary.
Now, standing in the middle of the city, Halle set her mouth into a firm line. She couldn’t stay here. The memories were too pronounced, and she didn’t like feeling so helpless.
Even looking at Grelda’s shop made her heart ache, wishing Basille was beside her as she knocked lightly at the door. Pushing away the feelings, she tried to peer through one of the windows. Hopefully, Adrian had remembered their appointment. He hadn’t been to the temple in nearly a year, so it was rare that she saw him these days. Grelda had taken a fall around then, and he’d moved to the city to take care of her. He practically ran her shop during the days, and Halle would have no one else prepare the mixtures she needed.
She hadn’t been able to convince herself to come during the day, though. The idea of the townspeople wishing her their congratulations made her want to punch something. Their good intentions were of no matter.
So she’d sent Adrian a messenger, detailing what she needed and what time she would prefer to come, and the man had said that Adrian had agreed.
A shadow moved inside the shop, making her sigh in relief, then the door creaked open. He’d gotten impossibly taller since she’d last seen him, and his voice was deep as he murmured a hello. Already holding the jars she needed, he pressed them into her hands.
She was surprised when Adrian kept the hold. He clasped his fingers to hers, struggling for words for a long moment before he asked, “They’re really gone?”
Ah. Poor kid. “Yes,” she murmured.
A slow nod made his curls shift, and he took a shaky breath in. “Razz came to see me, the day before the festival. I said I was too busy to talk.”
Her chest clenched, and she inclined her head. “He knew you loved him.”
“I know,” he whispered, letting go of her hands and leaning heavily into the doorframe. “Are you… are you leaving soon? I thought you’d have gone by now.”
“I’m not sure.”
Inspecting her carefully, Adrian swallowed. “Do you think you might stay?”
She shouldn’t. “I… Are you?” At his doubtful glance back into his shop, she clarified, “Planning to wait for him, I mean.”
“I think I’d like to.” He looked down at the ground, and she was unsurprised to see tears welling in his eyes. “I don’t want to put my life on hold, but I… it would be good. To see him again.” His voice broke, and she rested a hand awkwardly on his shoulder.
“You’ll be grown, then. I think he’d like to meet the family you build. Whatever happens, you’re welcome at the temple.”
At that, he gave her a teary grin. “That kind of sounds like you’re not going anywhere.”
Huffing at him, she raised her gaze again to the sky. “It’s stupid, but it feels like she’s gonna need me.”
“You’re her companion, aren’t you?” he asked, eyes filled with sadness. “Of course she does.”
Eventually, they bid their goodbyes, and Halle’s thoughts rushed as she made her way back up to the temple. Basille had grown up alone so many times. She didn’t deserve to do it again, no matter how much the thought of staying twisted at Halle’s ribs. Fuck, she didn't know if she could do this.
She would have to be ready to greet the townspeople tomorrow, she thought. It would be inconsiderate of her to demand her patients only meet her at night, and no matter how much she didn’t want to, she would have to get over her fears.
As she emerged over the curve of the hill, she glanced at the temple. Frowning, she noticed that the door guards were nowhere in sight, and she slowed her walk to glance around the fields. If something was wrong, things wouldn’t be so quiet, right?
Carefully, she tucked her medicine bag closer to her hip, circling the temple and entering through a side door. She ducked through the room on the other side, glancing over at the small shrine in its middle before she crossed the marble floors. Slowly, she inched open the door, peeking into the main hall and sighing with relief at the sight of the guards just inside. They were holding completely still, watching the scene before them.
Halle recognized Caroline, leaning heavily on her cane with her back to Halle. She was speaking, too low for Halle to hear, and as she emerged into the main hall, she caught sight of who she was talking to.
A man and a woman, both with bedraggled clothes and dirty faces, were leaning into each other. There were tears in their eyes, and Halle was surprised to see a toddler clutching to the man’s pants. The child wasn't crying, but they seemed confused, and as she looked at them, they caught her eye, ducking shyly behind their father.
Then her eyes shifted, catching onto the baby the woman was holding.
Small hands waved, and bright eyes stared at Caroline, but Halle’s gaze was caught by the bright tuft of blue hair that covered her small head. As she watched, the young mother sobbed, leaning forward to press her forehead to the infant’s. “We are blessed to serve the goddesses,” she said, voice breaking, and her husband nodded.
Before she could really think about it, Halle lowered her hood, crossing the room to put a hand on Caroline’s shoulder. The older woman jumped, but Halle took no notice, staring down at the baby. She took immediate notice of her with wide blue eyes, burbling happily and stretching out an arm. Gently, Halle touched the small hand, smiling as her finger was grasped.
“I can take her,” Halle said, starting to reach for the infant before Caroline grabbed her wrist, pulling it back and shaking her head in response to Halle’s questioning glance.
“Who are you?” the mother asked, and Halle looked at her in confusion. She wasn’t much older than Halle herself, but there weren’t many souls on this side of the sea who didn't know Halle's face.
Gently, Caroling explained, “They’re from Banamore. Traveled quite a long way to get here.”
Halle looked again at the baby. She liked to think she could already see something of Basille in that round face. Then she tore her eyes away, looking back up at the confused couple as Caroline spoke.
“This is Halle,” she said quietly, and their eyes widened. “Daughter of Moons.”
In awe, the woman stared at Halle, and she shifted uncomfortably. After a moment of hesitation, she held out her hands again, and the woman took a deep breath. Then, she stepped forward, passing the infant into Halle’s arms.
Halle’s eyes filled with tears, looking down as Basille stared back. She didn’t cry, but Halle felt her own breath catch. Taking a moment to gather herself, she looked back up at the couple and their other child, still staring at her.
“I am her companion,” Halle said softly. “The Queen of Moons will be well cared for with me.”

Útonállók (2011), 1. évad
Útonállók (2011), 1. évad
Bár a western nem a kedvenc műfajom, azért nem vetem meg, (Pl. a Deadwood az egyik kedvencem a műfajban, mint persze sokaknak), és mivel az ausztrálok stílusát is szeretem, így kapva kaptam az alkalmon, hogy a kettő ötvöződik egy szériában, az Útonállókban. Úgy kezdtem neki, hogy tudtam, az első évaddal már kaszálták a sorozatot, ami itt igencsak jogos volt, és bár nem mondom, hogy kérem vissza a…

Làm thế nào để làm hài lòng một người phụ nữ thay đổi cách chúng tôi miêu tả tình dục của phụ nữ lớn tuổi bằng cách để nhân vật nói, “Tôi muốn đạt cực khoái, nhưng không chỉ là bất kỳ cực khoái nào.
Tasma Walton, Caroline Brazier và Hayley McElhinney là một nhóm ba người phụ nữ mà Gina thường xuyên bơi ở bãi biển. Trong phòng thay đồ, họ thảo luận về các chủ đề khác nhau, từ việc đi tiểu khi bị sứa đốt đến nhiều công dụng của dầu dừa, bao gồm cả việc làm chất bôi trơn tự nhiên. youtube dit nhau
Bạn bè của Gina thuê vũ nữ thoát y (Alexander Anh) để nhảy cho cô trong ngày sinh nhật, đây là món quà thân thiết hơn nhiều so với hai tờ 50 đô la mà cô nhận được từ chồng. Khi anh ấy đề nghị làm bất cứ điều gì cho cô ấy ("Có gì không?" "Hoàn toàn là …"), cô ấy yêu cầu anh ấy dọn dẹp nhà của cô ấy.
Gina thành lập công ty vệ sinh nam của riêng mình sau khi nhận ra rằng cô thích thú như thế nào khi được dọn dẹp nhà cửa bởi một người đàn ông hấp dẫn, cởi trần. Đội bơi của cô ấy trở thành khách hàng đầu tiên của cô ấy.
Tuy nhiên, họ không chỉ muốn nhà cửa được dọn dẹp.
Sự thèm muốn tình dục của phụ nữ lớn tuổi
Cách nhạy cảm mà bộ phim này khắc họa những ham muốn khác nhau của những người phụ nữ khác nhau là một trong những điểm mạnh của nó. Sau tất cả, Làm sao để làm hài lòng một người phụ nữ, chứ không phải Làm thế nào để làm hài lòng phụ nữ, chính là tên phim.
Gina gặp gỡ trực tiếp từng khách hàng của mình và ghi lại sở thích của họ để đảm bảo họ có được niềm vui mà họ mong muốn. Một phụ nữ thích bắt đầu chậm rãi với rượu gin và thuốc bổ. Một phụ nữ khác không muốn ai chạm vào ngực mình. Cực khoái mà bạn dễ dàng đạt được và kéo đi nhiều lần cho đến khi tiêu diệt hoàn toàn là điều mà người phụ nữ thứ ba mong muốn; không chỉ là bất kỳ cực khoái nào lén lút đến với bạn. Một khách hàng khác nói rằng sau khi lên lịch hẹn với đàn ông, cô ấy bắt đầu trải qua nhiều cung bậc cảm xúc và háo hức lên lịch hẹn với một người phụ nữ.
Rất hiếm khi thấy trong nền văn hóa đại chúng, đa số phụ nữ lớn tuổi cởi mở và trung thực về những gì khiến họ cảm thấy thỏa mãn tình dục, cũng như quan sát cách ham muốn của họ thay đổi và trở nên táo bạo và đa dạng hơn. Đáng buồn thay, ham muốn tình dục của phụ nữ trên 50 tuổi thường không được thể hiện, được trình bày không chính xác hoặc bị chế giễu.
Chủ nghĩa tuổi tác là một căn bệnh dễ lây lan trong xã hội.
Phụ nữ lớn tuổi được miêu tả là người vô tính và trưởng thành về tình dục. Họ là những "chú báo sư tử" hoặc những con cái già nua, những người đã đặt tiêu chuẩn cho nhiều thế hệ như một hình tượng vui nhộn có ham muốn bị vặn vẹo, bị chế giễu và cuối cùng là bị trừng phạt, giống như Blanche Du Bois trong phim A Streetcar Named Desire của Tennessee Williams.
Giai đoạn phát triển lớn nhất của con người, sự già đi cho đến nay là giai đoạn đầy rẫy những huyền thoại và định kiến được duy trì bởi những câu chuyện cười.
Và nữ giới là giới tính thích những trò đùa này nhất. Sự trẻ trung gắn liền với sự gợi cảm, khiến phụ nữ lớn tuổi và sự gợi cảm của họ trở nên vô hình. Khi phụ nữ lớn tuổi được miêu tả trên các phương tiện truyền thông đại chúng, tình dục của họ thường không được thể hiện hoặc có liên quan đến sự lệch lạc, như trong mối quan hệ giữa Darlene và Wyatt trong loạt phim Ozark của Netflix.
Định kiến tiêu cực và thái độ thành kiến đối với tình dục lớn tuổi được thúc đẩy bởi các mô tả trên phương tiện truyền thông về những phụ nữ lớn tuổi có hoạt động tình dục hoặc ham muốn tình dục là không bình thường, cũng như những người tìm kiếm tình dục bên ngoài các mối quan hệ cam kết, yêu thương.
