I just feel like I’m intruding on a private moment and just sit there tense and embarrassed until it’s over. Trying not to listen to the schlorp schlorp noises.

But it’s such a common trope, I so assume I’m in some weird minority.

Does anyone find it enjoyable to watch? If so, why and how?

    It depends, but I find it’s at it’s worst when the kiss is the ‘reward’ for the hero/heroine for being so heroic. Or just generally when it’s used as a lazy piece of short hand storytelling to show ‘yeah these guys love each other or something, whatever’.

    On the other hand it can be genuinely cathartic or romantic.
