Tauriel and Bolg

Something that a friend observed during their fight scene has confused me for a while. When Bolg is lifting her up by the throat, he makes a gesture with his tongue. Now the way I saw it was simply showing how much of a monster Bolg really is. Makes sense because he is an Orc. Now my friend came up with another theory. He reckons that Bolg was making like a sexual gesture towards her. Now considering the situation, Could it be possible that if Bolg had overpowered Tauriel he could have maybe raped her? Now I know this sounds terrible and im 100% certain this wasnt the intended case. But since my friend told me this, it kind of confused me and got me thinking about how Orcs view women. Do they just kill them without any second thought like everyone else, or would they possibly have sexual thoughts too? Sorry for a really disturbing thread I just needed to get this thought off my chest
Azog and Bolg. That is all I can say.............

"Hm, tasty! Nice snack." Not sure that's a sexual thing or not, really never thought about Orcs that way.

..that gesture was more like "Hmmm... wonder what elf blood tastes like." I think he does something similar when he fights Legolas, but I might be making that up. And if you remember, Lurtz licks his sword/ does something similar, licking the blood from his sword/knife when he's fighting Aragorn. The private life of orcs is another question altogether, but in the context of the Hobbit, and the whole film sequence it's safe to dismiss what your friend said. Orcs are vile, cruel and have an unfortunate taste for blood which they use to taunt their opponents - and that's all the gesture means.

In the books, Celebrian was "tormented" by orcs, and had to leave middle-earth from it, and that's probably the most evidence you'll get - it just depends on interpretation.

...he looked quite creepy the way he was looking at Tauriel. Isn't one of the origins given for orcs that they are former elves tortured and twisted into foul creatures of evil? If that's the case it would kinda make sense they would view female elves as being sexually attractive as well as a delicious snack. Then again another origin is meant to involve being created from sentient slime right? Or have I misremembered that?
