Trivia
Allison Williams said in an interview that she is stunned whenever Girls fans quiz her about her no-sex scene policy, because she's made love on the show more than any other castmate. The modest actress insisted she didn't want to appear nude on the HBO network series and she never did, but her character Marnie Michaels has had a lot of sexual encounters. However, while fans quickly recall every time co-star Lena Dunham bares all, few can remember Allison's saucy scenes. "They bent me over a counter with someone's face to my butt," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's funny because my character actually had the vast majority of sex on the show, but it just doesn't stick to me. "People are like, 'So, you've never had sex in the show, have you?' I'm like, 'What do I have to do? I've literally had someone in my butt!' "And with that scene, the headlines were all, '(U.S. newsman) Brian Williams' daughter gets her salad tossed'." Asked if she's ever had analingus, like her character, in real life, she adds, "Not to reveal too much, but that is definitely not something I'm interested in, and it's definitely never happened to me in real life."

I am a straight (if that matters...) 30-something guy and I just watched the first five episodes of HBO's "GIRLS". So in a nutshell:
I really dig this show. I think it has an extremely unique vibe to it, that kinda reminds me of "How to make it in America" (with a pinch of Woody Allen). It's nothing like "Sex and the City"... well it's about a group of Girlfriends, that happen to live in New York City and well... yes Sex is an issue. But still, it's nothing like "SATC". It's much more down-to-earth, realistic and... different. I like all the girls and their facets. The casting is great. Though they work with some (New York) clichés in the show, I really have the feeling that I know people like that from my own life and experiences. The early 20s, an age where you're on your own for the first time of your life, grown up but still clueless about life and what to expect from it. It's kind of an adventure to figure out who you are, what you want and where to go. I really feel that "GIRLS" makes a great job capturing that feeling. Lena Dunham, creator, director and protagonist of this show is crazy talented. People will hear (even more) from her in the future. Mark my words.
Hopefully HBO won't axe this show as they did with "How to make it...". It's a great show and I really enjoy watching it.
