A Slow and Steady Groove

People have been talking non-stop about EJ and Sami rolling in the deep while talking about Nick rolling in the deep with the fishes.  They're the belles of the blue balls, and one question I've seen popping up is whether or not Days would ever give a Will/Sonny sex scene the same treatment.  

The thing is, those sex scenes were very plot, couple and character-specific.  There was dialogue between all that heavy breathing that was important to the plot, so that spared us from the crappy music we'd normally have been exposed to.  You know how soap sex scenes usually go.  There's some kissing, the music kicks in, there's a little undressing, then there's some undulating under the sheets, crossfade to a couple of different angles of neck-kissing, the woman silently throwing her head back, then the post-coital "Wow. That was so good. I feel like some eggs. You want some eggs, or some orange juice or something?" pillow talk.

Anyone else find it ridiculous that Gabi and Will's sex scene last
year got more screentime than Will and Sonny have yet to get?

Sex scenes like the two-day EJ/Sami feast we got are still relatively new to Days, and Wilson hasn't even gotten their own old-school soapy love scene, let alone the gasping, clutching, and pelvic thrusting EJ and Sami got. They've only had one scene that faded to black far too soon.  I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, though. Brian unbuckling Sonny's belt was actually quite a milestone for daytime.  What?! Gay men have dicks?  They don't just give their female friends makeovers and hold hands?  No, ma'am.  Gay men have penises, and just like straight men, they like to use them.  And just like straight women, they like to play hide-and-seek with them.  Will had that shower fantasy, and that was something.  Gay, naked penis in the shower!  Gay, naked penis in the shower!  Oh, my GOD!  Two gay, naked penises in the shower! TWO GAY, NAKED PENISES IN THE SHOWER!

I know you were thinking he was doing what I was thinking he was doing.

I think Days is moving slowly but surely towards giving Wilson the sex scenes we're craving.  We've seen Will and Sonny dressed, we've seen them undressing, and we've seen them undressed.  Now we just need to see them go from A all the way to C without stopping.  I'm ready for it, but the reality is that not everyone is.  Days has been doing a pretty damn good job of easing people who might not have been entirely comfortable with the idea of a gay love story in the beginning into becoming emotionally invested in these two characters, and I think they'll continue to do so.  Rome was not built in a day.   

Right now Nick is the homophobic asshole determined to keep Will from being a part of his daughter's life.  This means that for the next little while we'll probably be stuck with dewy-eyed, pouty-lipped, non-threatening, asexual Will, which is a bit of a drag, because it might mean that unless the eye of Sonny's tiger is unleashed, we won't be getting a good sex scene from these two anytime soon.  Any sex that happens between them is going to have to be initiated by an "aggressor" (Someone like Brian, for example), and there just isn't anyone to fill that role at the moment.  But we'll see.  Maybe Will will become so overwhelmed by Sonny's support that he'll try to mount him in a changeroom at the GAP.  Or maybe Sonny will channel EJ and Sami and get all hot and bothered after beating the crap out of Nick.  One of those.

Will wants it, needs it, and goes in for it.

These past two weeks have been a revelation.  A fired-up Sonny is infinitely more compelling than safe, supportive, gay life coach Sonny, who we've sort of been stuck with for far too long.  I know Sonny and Will love each other, but I'm greedy.  I want to see Sonny and Will want each other, too.  I want to see Sonny overcome with desire, frustration, anger, need - all that good stuff.  He's watching his boyfriend caught up in all this emotional turmoil, looking completely lost, but stubbornly refusing to accept anyone's help, including his and Justin's.  Sure, Will doesn't want Justin to know his son's boyfriend tried to kill someone, but Will isn't giving Sonny or his father the benefit of the doubt here (particularly Justin, who tried to have Emilio killed but ended up in a wheelchair instead).  Wouldn't that make Sonny go just a little mad with frustration?  If Sami and EJ can fuck the pain away, I'm pretty sure Sonny and Will could give it a shot.  At least it would let them forget the world seemingly falling apart all around them for a little while.

So, to make a long, long story short (too late for that, I guess), and to answer a question I forgot I was supposed to be answering, I think Sonny and Will will eventually get to writhe, moan, and undulate with the rest of Salem.  Like anything good, it'll just take some time.  I have a feeling that Days knows Wilson are worth it.

So now I'm asking you - what is it that you're looking for in a Sonny/Will sex scene?  What was it about EJ and Sami's two-day romp that makes you want the same for Wilson?  Do you think Days will ever "go there"?  Sound off if I haven't put you to sleep.

Until next time.
