Wherein I am a creepy comic geek:

So, anyway, I've kind of accidently committed myself to a post dissecting Scott Summers and Jean Grey's sex life (namely, he's totally the submissive). Because I'm that kind of comic book geek. The creepy kind. Yeah, I know. Anyway, it's probably gonna take me a while to track down sex scenes, so I'll do one now, and maybe do others as the whim arises.

So the first one is the chronologically earliest one I could find: the plateau sex in the Dark Phoenix Saga.

Of course, there's some weirdness in the fact that I'm not sure it counts as "Jean", but well, she thinks she's Jean so...close enough? The writers thought she was Jean at the time, at least?

So background: Hellfire club's acting up and Cyclops goes against Xavier's plan and takes the team to Warren Worthington to find out more info. He and Warren have a pow-wow on top of a plateau that unfortunately for me involves them wearing clothes. Happily for me, Jean comes around to change that.

There are many things to love about this page. First the fact that Warren is clearly leaving to avoid cockblocking (vagina-blocking?) his friend. And I don't mean Scott, because he has no idea what's going on. Jean's all "I'll be hanging the sock on the door anytime now, kthx bye."

I also particularly enjoy how Scott reacts like a startled virgin as soon as Jean reaches for the visor. It's all "Why I never! You cad! Remove your hands from there, this instant!" But then Jean makes all high school boys on prom night proud by reassuring her boyfriend and finally getting it on.

Molecular rearrangement'll be useful for bondage.

Speaking of bondage, there's an interesting component there with her holding back his powers like that. Kinky.

Anyway, that's it for the sex scene initially, BUT the next issue quickly invokes a flashback.



Apparently Scott finds the Hellfire club's spare S&M hood to be a memory jogger. I'm just saying a) the Hellfire club is kinky, and b) so are they.

And then of course we get to see Jean initiate their mental bond:



1) Revisiting the whole high school boy on his prom-date thing, Jean's dialogue really sounds very much like a "Can we go all the way? I mean, if you're okay with it. I mean, you know...I'll understand if you say no."

2) Just in case the gender dynamic reversal involved in the penetrative aspect of her telepathy is lost on us, notice how the depiction of the energy is totally phallic.

Which kind of fits with my other post. His brain is totally a vagina dentata. Awesome.

On a (slightly) more serious note, the couple really is interesting to analyze in terms of gender dynamics (tell me, for example, the whole Jean-Scott-Emma confrontation isn't totally business man coming home to find his wife sleeping with the mailman. As a stereotype: unfaithful husbands tend to go OUT when they cheat, unfaithful wives tend to cheat at home.) and not-quite-acknowledged kinky BDSM potential.

And really, if you think about it, pegging is a lot easier with telekinesis.
