'Red, White & Royal Blue' Is Teaching Straights That Gays Can Do Missionary

While Amazon Prime Video’s Red, White & Royal Blue is a gay movie, it has a large and devoted fan base of (largely straight) women. And most of those women seem to be completely shocked to learn that yes, gay men can indeed have missionary sex.

Red, White & Royal Blue greatest service might be teaching a new generation of women that gay men can actually do missionary.

In one of the steamiest scenes in the movie, Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) and Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez) are having sex for the first time when they get in a position that apparently surprised a lot of straights watching the movie.

In the scene, Prince Henry is lying on his back, with his knees in the air, as Alex climbs in between his legs on top of him. It’s a classic missionary setup, one of the most common ways to have sex. But apparently, for straight people, it was also a revolutionary scene that expanded their minds.

One of the most popular tweets showing confusion over the sex position shows a Twitter user with the username Grace simply asking the question, “Gay guys can do missionary?”

When a gay man replies with “Why wouldn’t they?” she responds, “Seems hard to get to the bum that way hahahah. Happy for them though! Best position!!” (A lot of gay men would agree with that last part!)

it’s my honor

The official RWRB Twitter account even commented, saying “it’s my honor” to teach the straights this simple sexual fact.

I even to explain this to a gay friend in our early 20s, actually. Movies can function as a type of sex ed! https://t.co/z5rWxW4kfB

Plenty of gay men took to Twitter to joke about the widespread discovery.

While some joked about their delight in seeing straight women so fascinated by gay sex, others joked that their straight friends knew all about it from fanfic.

PLSSSS, not ppl realizing thanks to the RWRB movie that gay man can also do missionary, and that is not actually an exclusive straight sex position... pic.twitter.com/yarlQ45qJe

Loving how people are learning that gay men can do missionary. How on earth do people think we were spitting in each other's mouths before!?

Utterly adorable, charming, tinged with something indescribably genuine. It felt nice to be seen, and in a way celebrated. And YES, gay guys can also do missionary!

Decent. Recommended. #RedWhiteAndRoyalBlue pic.twitter.com/gRy5eLIFIb
