Why were the two boys jerking off next to each other in the funhouse?


I couldnt understand why they did it, or even why it was included in the film if it was of so little significance..

I thought that was a bit gay of them.

I took it in a similar vein as the circle jerk remark in Stand By Me. It uses sex to put the age and maturity of key players into perspective.

If Harry Eden were standing next to me with his pants down, I'd probably be jerking off, too.

I could never masturbate (let alone with another guy masturbating beside me) in front of a whole film crew, so i congratulate the boys for their bravery.

reply

You do know they weren't actually masturbating, right?

reply

I think it was done to show their level of intimacy and to suggest a bisexual undertone.

reply

Yeah they were and what I don't understand is how/why boys do that. This isn't the first film where I've seen boys mastrubating next to each other. In Angela's Ashes theres a scene where a group of boys are doing it together and in Y Tu Mama Tambien two friends are lying nearby each other and doing it together so it seems its not uncommon... but its so weird.

I mean girls don't do that, I most certainly would never mastrubate in front of my friends!

Men are disgusting.

I came out here to comments looking for this question. I can't imagine straight boys doing something like this no matter how close they are, and I'm no prude. Maybe naive. But, I know a group of boys/men will rape a girl/woman, which I also can't fatham.
