That mute button could also act like a panic button depending on the "recipient." :))

Is it me or is SOTR becoming a little ....risqué?

Not that I mind of course....

"Armani's" (real name or derogatory nickname?) hesitation in the last panel makes me legit uncomfortable. Not that I believe this cynical and ruthless duo to be above sexual assault, it's just awful to see it happening.

And it seems Eva's scheming does take precedence over lust. Tsk, girl can't handle multitasking?

Yee~aah... something tells me Armani ain't too thrilled about that "mute" option. :-s

I'm also guessing from Eva's "Get in me, or get out," line, that either she and Lukas are friends with benefits. Or that he keeps turning her down whenever she makes the offer, since he's only into guys.

Just what is the situation in that room that she couldn't just tell Armani to be quiet? Heck the guy wasn't even making any noise. :-\

I think of it as a swipe at the NSFW brand. Sandra could be topless in the shower without any convenient mist to obscure the nipples and the strip gets an R rating, but having a strip with a woman getting vigorously humped in the first panel and a man about to get oral sex in the last is acceptable. 8-|

The night is ending on a sour note for him, but Armani has the option of saying no and/or leaving.

Sour note, eh? I see what you did there. ;)

The clear logic of the scene is that "Armani" is going to do it, in an addled and less-than-enthusiastic state if his expression in Panel 4 is any indication. It doesn't become less of a sexual assault because the person is not physically restrained or threatened. Less prosecutable, maybe, but it's still not cool to pressure or rush someone into a sex act that they are less than willing about. Dude is clearly not into the idea at the moment, and that's all that counts.

So we can, I think, deduce that Sandra is using Lavali's 'phone to make this call, without Lavali's cooperation - though don't ask me how Eva's 'phone knows who it is. Doesn't anyone lock their smartphones? Even hitmen on Homeland are just as sloppy...

I'm just going to assume that Armani is, frankly, just half a step away from being an escort/kept man, and in this game largely for the material rewards, with any sex that he entirely enjoys as a bonus. Well, being a professional, even with a thin veil of "no actual cash changes hands", implies being professional. His choice. He could even leave in a huff if he wanted.

And, looking at it another way - Lukas is about to put something he values between they guy's teeth. One way or another, Lukas has to be sure that Armani won't actively object too much.

I guess that she wants to be sure that she gets the tone of voice just right.

I've been getting the same feel off all three comics in the family (and to some extent even off Dangerously Chloe); the sex is getting more specific and a bit kinkier, and a bit more, ahem, in your face. And yes, I reckon it's a conscious or unconscious snook being cocked at the whole NSFW silliness.

And I don't object either. Nothing like the sight of a good snook being firmly and vigorously cocked.

OK wait....someone explain that to me? I mean I know what NSFW means but why the desire to push the envelope? We're there some silly changes or new normatives?

@crimsontearz I'm guessing you've never heard of the no-nipples rule, huh?
