You saw how uncomfortable Ennis was with his sexuality on both the first and second night in the tent. I think before then the two men were trying to hide their feelings....show what manly men they were. I think the director wanted the first sexual encounter to be spontaneous, messy, and something when the two men weren't ready to accept even after it happened.

I liked the encounter four years after Brokeback. It's as if Ennis can't hide his feelings for Jack for another second. The kiss so passionately by the stairs.

The movie really made an impression on me. I couldn't sleep afterward just thinking about how unfair the whole thing was. They made me believe. :) But that's me.
