Okay, got my Season 1 Companion today and am just flipping through it.

Jared had posters of Jensen on his wall before starting the show? Posters of WHAT? Days of our lives? The gay cowboy shots? *rolls around laughing manically*

Also the note they got for Route 666 was "the girl can`t be on top"? WTF? I`ve seen shitloads of WB-shows, they totally had girls on top of guys before. Darla on Angel, Lilah on Wes etc.

My guess? Because the girl on top would imply she's the one in control, the hard-ass. Just look at the characters in your examples...

I know it was probably some weird Lilith-complex - which on the other hand I can`t understand because the WB was also fond of the castrating of male characters and the much "beloved" staple of showing women strong by having them bitchy and ballbusting or passive-agressive - but Angel at least was the lead as well.

So even with main characters and heroic macho-man they did this before so I`m a bit confused as trying to close the stable doors when the horse have already run.

I can't remember the Cassie/Dean sex scene in detail (and certainly don't care to do so) but are we talking positions here or rather top/bottom in the sense of active/passive or even Dom/sub which of course is not the same but, uhm, if we're just talking positions, with the girl on top you get a better view of the woman's body...and her tits and all, I guess, so nice view for those who wanna ogle her, no?

But then a statement such as 'girls can't be on top' doesn't fit in anymore. Out of context I understand the statement to refer to top/bottom in a Dom-y/subby kinda way which then would imply a macho-like view of sex, yes.

Well, either it was a "there is only sex in the missionary position - at night - between a maried couple - and even then only to make a baby" view of sex or the "he is the macho hero of the show, he needs to push the woman on the bed" view. Both are - well if nothing else deeply hypocritical for the - then - WB.
