Lesbians critique Blue Is the Warmest Colour’s sex scene

Apparently, “lesbians react to X” has become a YouTube niche unto itself, and you know what? I can dig it. It’s funny as shit and weirdly informative for a series of videos that occasionally feature a girl poking a cat in the butt.

This week, lesbians are reacting to the now famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) 10-minute lesbian sex scene from Blue Is the Warmest Colour, and it’s a lot of fun to see how the average women-loving-woman views stuff like this.

From what I can gather, having sex after a big plate of spaghetti? Not a good idea. Ass-play is kind of hit-or-miss, depending on who you’re asking, and if you’re expecting to walk away from Blue Is the Warmest Colour with some new moves in your repertoire, you may be disappointed.

And at one point, one of them pokes a cat in the butthole. I’m not sure why I find that hysterical, I just do.
