Like, self, what is even up with your brain that you enjoy this shit.
I like your brain. #what is therapy?
I got to the part of s2 I don't know by heart, and I'm super-excited. I liked it very much when I was watching it for the first time, but now that I know a part of s3, s2 is even better!
He's absolutely using his sexuality as a form of intimidation.
And he did the same with Isobel in s1! Made out with her before he started threatening her! Damon Salvatore, I adore your playing with gender roles. You know you're sexy, and you're using it.
It's a bizarre manifestation of insecurity. Fairly desperate way to hold on to a semblance of power, really.
Well, he has a bit of power here, because Elena is uncomfortable with her own sexuality. Or rather she used to be, because I believe that the bed scene was a game changer, and from now on when Damon tries to provoke Elena, she'll provoke him back just to show him that he's lost his leverage.
Now I'm wondering how much Damon is really comfortable with his sexuality. Is it real, or is it just an act? He might've been born like that, some people just have no shame, and there is nothing in flashbacks (at least nothing I remember) that would indicate one thing or another. But if it's a part of his performance and a manipulative technique he's learned (in our culture it's relatively easy to intimidate women with this kind of behavior, and it's even easier to intimidate men if you're a man yourself. So Damon usually doesn't need to go far with his provocation, a little is enough to make his opponent feel uneasy), then it leaves an interesting opening here if Elena does as I want her to do and starts using his own weapon against him. It might turn out that Damon is not that comfortable with his own sexuality after all.
Actually it's not that impossible, you know? When Katherine flashes him in s2 (the shower scene after she got out of the tomb), he has this FML facial expression and he is a bit nervous. It might be that he's just surprised that she broke free, but if it's not?
God, I'm reading too much into a teen vampire show again...
