Apparently there was a longer, much more graphic version of the sex scene that was cut for PG-13 but will be available on the DVD. Reportedly it will explicitly answer a lot of the questions about alien love making that the cinematic version raises.

I always assumed it was to do with their brain-tentacle things, which would probably lead to a situation like that Oglaf comic ("Your cock feels so good inside me!", "That's YOUR cock you idiot!"). I can't see how it could NOT involve them actually, seeing as the film never shows what happens when one of the NA'Vi connects to another one.
Of course, if that's true, then to become a man in their world you really DO have to rape a dragon. Did anybody else find that scene a bit... disturbed?

Yeah, putting the tentacles together is the obvious answer, but I think that raises more issues than it resolves. Firstly, yes, as you mentioned, horse rape, but also isn't the tentacle merge sort of a mind control device? Do you experience the sex from the other person's body somehow? Can you control each other? Does the strongest mind dominate? Is it like jacking into the trees - can you read their thoughts while you fuck? Sometimes whilst I am fucking somebody I am thinking uncharitable thoughts about them - is this why the aliens seem to avoid casual sex? And do they orgasm? What incites this? And how is the genetic material transmitted, anyway? Can their tails ejaculate? The women appear to have breasts to suckle their young, and there seem to be children around, but if the ladies don't have pussies then where do the babies come out of?
In summary, no, they don't put the tentacles together: that would be weird. They're just packing rock hard alien cat cock under those loin cloths. I fully expect the DVD to vindicate this opinion.
Alternative: you only see them kissing... maybe the cat cocks are in their mouths.

I don't see anything creepy about using the mind tentacles for sex. I mean, a bridle and riding crop can be used on a horse as well as in the bedroom, but that doesn't mean you're having sex with the horse. To use the tentacles for everyday interactions with the world, but then not use them for sex, just seems absurd to me. I don't know why they left it out of the theatrical release... it's kind of uncharted territory, but I guess it could be considered explicit enough to censor.
Then again, they might have a second, "special" set of tentacles in a different location...

I think you've got your analogy backwards - introducing a non-specifically sexual object like a riding crop to the bedroom is one thing, whipping a horse with your penis is quite another.

Engineers have long (since at least the 1950s[2]) used the term unobtainium when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects save that it doesn't exist. By the 1990s the term was in wide use, even in formal engineering papers such as "Towards unobtainium [new composite materials for space applications]".[3] The word unobtainium may well have been coined within the aerospace industry to refer to materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures expected in reentry. Aerospace engineers are frequently tempted to design aircraft which require parts with strength or resilience beyond that of currently available materials.

I was about to make the light hearted suggestion that he had just come home from work, to find Teodor with the whole Roomba theater set up and ready to go and he had to start on the scene without even reading the script. Then I realised RB doesn't have a job, and that seems kind of wrong. He seems like the sort of person who would need to work to avoid feeling terrible guilt, and also to distance himself from his horrible family. I mean, unlike T, it is hard to imagine Roast Beef dealing a little weed to keep himself in pocket money. Then I began to question the idea that Pat could have built a fully functioning rocket to the moon. Suddenly it struck me: this is a comic and I should stop worrying about Roast Beef's employment status and start worrying about my own. Long story short, do any of you want to give me a job?
I was about to make the light hearted suggestion that he had just come home from work, to find Teodor with the whole Roomba theater set up and ready to go and he had to start on the scene without even reading the script.

That's how I used to dance at discos -- with women, of course, and the Roomba wasn't invented, just the rumba.

Fact: "realistic" or no, good plot or no, spectacle or no, I just can't bring myself to go see a movie with those fucking stupid-looking blue people. I'm sorry, I know it cost millions and is like a triumph of special fx, but they look fucking stupid. Am I the only one who thinks this? I mean, they look like fucking Shrek or something. How can I take this movie seriously?

The ONLY problem the aliens seem to have is the eyes. The rest looks pleasingly realistic, but the eyes could have been made out of glass in a cheap hawaiian sweat shop and then glued on. For CUTE factor.
Aside from that... HORSE ON FIRE. That was cool.

It is not a Deed. It was one of those movies that feels like a really good dream. The plot is kinda sub-par, but the whole world is very immersive, and apparently immersive enough for the cheesy moments to kinda slide off and not damage your I.Q. to badly. But I had a half litre of beer, and a good coffee before I went in, so I was well prepped.

So you had to piss twice during the film and missed the bit where Michelle Rodriguez was wearing a needlessly torn wifebeater? The bit where the avalanche of cheese began?

Don't be such an Avatard, dude.
I know that this isn't really in reply to the above comment, but I think that this strip goes along the lines of what Teodor would like to experiment with...
