Today's meta Wednesday is dedicated to: Santana Lopez!

You can talk about anything else you'd like, too, but let's start things off with Santana!

Re: Sex and Sexuality

I agree with all of this. None of the sex Santana has with boys is fulfilling for her. The aftermath scene for her and Finn in TPoM is incredibly depressing for both of them. That's also where Santana says that it takes a few times for any sense of accomplishment to kick in.

She has just enough sex with just enough guys to convince herself she's straight and that she has control. As long as she and Brittany making out is usually just for titillation purposes, and otherwise when she needs a warm body, it doesn't have to mean anything.

Think about how long Santana's on-again off-again relationship with Puck lasts. There's references to the two dating or sleeping together from Acafellas until Furt, for crying out loud, and Santana still expects Puck to buy her dinner in Silly Love Songs.

There's also the matter of Santana's position in the sexuality spectrum. She identifies as a lesbian, and that's what matters. However, she does tell Holly that she is attracted to both girls and guys and even had a sex dream about a shrub (and thus was an amusing crack ship born). She's attracted to Martinez, Cooper and Puck in a dress. I like that this is complicated, because so is sexuality in real life.

(Just like Blaine is 100% gay, but it's not like being drunk actually changes whether or not kissing a girl turns him on.)
