Disobedience may have slipped a little in its portrayal of Jews and Judaism, but its portrayal of lesbians and lesbian sex was as authentic as Christmas carols at Hanukkah. The gaze was male. Not too many lesbians enjoy spitting from a distance into their new lover’s mouth. And sex standing up is more common in the gay male world than in the lesbian world and is an unlikely start for a new lesbian couple. These were probably attempts to make lesbians and lesbian sex “ virile”, like Christianising Judaism.
