ATWT recap: Luke and Noah kiss, but still no sex...

You know, I don't if I mind whether or not Luke and Noah ever have sex as much as the fact that I find myself getting hooked on the rest of the storylines on "As the World Turns" instead of just watching the scenes involving the gay lovebirds. I just don't have time for this!

Anyway, Thursday's episode has Luke in a funk because his dad, Holden, is cheatng on his mom, Lily, with a woman named Carly. Clueless Noah - the same guy who was gonna join the Army a few weeks ago - bounds down the stairs looking for his shoes and wonders what's wrong with Luke.

Luke talks about his parents and wonders about his dad and love: "If he's willing to give up my mother, then what chance do the rest of us even have? Why even try?"

Cluless Noah: "You don't think we're ,meant to last?
Luke: Do you?
Clueless Noah: Yes.
Luke: We're basically glorified roommates. We've been here in this house, alone, All day, and nothing.
Clueless Noah brings up Luke';s grandmother's rules of no sex between unmarried people living under her roof - gay or straight.

Luke responds: "That's lame.. One of us has to say it. There's nothing stopping us from having sex. So why aren't we?"

Clueless Noah insists that he wants to be with Luke too but he wants it to be special and blah, blah, blah.,

I love this remark from Luke: "You didn't seem to have this problem with Maddie."

Noah replies: "Maddie was different. She's not my happy ending."

"I don't want it to be because we have the house to ourselves for a half hour..." he adds. "You and I are going to be together for a very, very long time."

Then...they kiss! It;s not a great one. But, at least they had lip lock.,

All I have to say is that sometimes you put up with clueless and confused dudes like Noah because the sex is great. But NO SEX? Please. And it is entirely unrealistic that two guys in their late teens, in love with each other, would not be doing it every chance they get. C'mon!

Making matters worse is that some 14-year-old girl on the show got condoms and birth control pills in the same episode! No build up, no hemming and gawing about it being special etc. She just hopped into bed with this young dude who looks maybe 12.

What a screwed up show!
