I can’t think of a single sex scene in a movie that added value to it. They’re pointless and akward to both the audience and actors.

Disagree, if it’s in a romance movie it’s sometimes a necessary addition

Sounds like someone has never seen MacGruber! Pointless and awkward absolutely but the value added was immeasurable.

Euro trip

Black Swan

Brokeback Mountain

Eyes Wide Shut

Poor Things (which even makes it an important plot about finding your own power through sexuality while it also being a tool that can be used to take advantage of you)

Oh forgot TEETH very different movie if there was no sex

Lars van Trier’s Nymphomaniac would be very confusing without sex.

Yeah a lot of people proclaimimg from their own soapbox of limited perspective that sex is pointless and gratuitous when there are so many stories that don’t work.

We literally have stories that revolve around sex as its own topic like Nymphomaniac Last Tango in Paris that don’t work without sex. But someone got the ick watching Titanic so now apparently all sex scenes are derivative.

Debbie does Dallas would’ve been a rather mediocre high school drama without the sex scenes.

That’s a pretty blanket statement on it being awkward for actors when We Live in Time is in theaters right now and this is a story about a sex scene in it. https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/andrew-garfield-florence-pugh-we-live-in-time-sex-scene,

LOL I love the camera man hiding in the corner cause he can’t leave but wants to give them some privacy if they are having a moment.
