In some movie, the sex scene just seem to be thrown in for the heck of having a sex scene. Why? (one movie I remember is "Monster Ball") It just don't go with the storyline.

And when is sex scene become too much? In some movies, they goes as far as showing a rape scene.

Some of the movies I saw that has no sex:
The last Samurai
The Gods must be crazy
Lost in Translation

not enough sex scenes and too much ultra violence...
make love not war!

whether you like it or not, sex is part of our culture and it is probably the most thought about THING in the entire world, among all cultures. so why do you cry when you see it in movies? you know you think about it probably 10000x times more than you have seen it in a movie.

Two words: it sells

That was a funny movie too...

Ugh...the cave rave just before that, combined with the sex scene, made for the worst 10 min of film I've viewed in the last 10 years.

I agree with you 100 percent on all counts.

If I want to see sex, I'll switch to the playboy channel. Or rent those porno movies. There lots of sex scene and everything you'll ever want.

I see more and more shows base somewhat on mostly sex. Like The Mountain and The OC. They are very hot chicks, but when it's too much it kinda become porno.

What about the kids that watch them? Is it just me or does these new shows say "sex" is fun so lets all get f8ck. Kinda like smoking. It's fun, just do it and don't worry about the cancer thing.

Wow...just...wow. You're like 17 and very repressed, right? Ever have sex? I hate to burst your bubble, but sex isn't a bad thing. People's motives for having sex can be bad, but sex itself is NOT inherently bad.

Yes, some sex scenes in movies are gratuitous, but there are also gratuitous actions scenes. Depends on the film and the film maker.

The tired thing about "oh god, why won't someone think about the children!" is a little foolish. If you don't want your kids to see it, don't let them watch it. And the idea that people seem A-OK with their kids watching violence but show a breast or a nipple and all hell breaks loose is just foolish.

Lastly...please, for the love of god, add some "s"s into your writing. It's painful to read.

Yeh I have run into this also. Such as "Taking Lives" sure we get to see some of Angelina, but it seems as though the director was thinking "Crap we're running near the end of the movie, Angelina! get naked."
Saw that the other day... it was put in there because she and Ethan Hawke had to show they had a trusting relationship going... before what happened at the end of the film. Before the sex scene, there was just a lot of tension between them but nothing happened.

Was quite needed in more ways than one.

I assume you are speaking of mainstream movies...

Usually, it is fake...there are exceptions however...for instance, the Japanese film: In the Realm of the Senses had unsimulated sex in it...

The Brown Bunny with Chloe Sevigny...is really giving the actor/director a bj.

and the controversial/soon to come out movie: Nine Songs has graphic unsimulated sex...but is still in talks with the British Board of Film Classification as to whether it can be released..and with what rating...

soon it will be 'cut to the sex'

sex scenes are cheaper

As I stated, I watch movies for the storyline, the interesting plot. Porno movies are made for sex. It seem that hollywood is drain of original ideas, they now just remake it and put some SEX in there to make money off of guy(s) like U.

I know sex create the next generation. But does it have to be in every stinkin movies?

And making you suffer belong(s) in drama so I'm all for it.. now suffer Hubris.

Had a professor in college that had a phrase for it : OFS (Obligatory Fvck Scene)
Most movies will use it for the appeal. Look at the trailers for most actions movies, you see a whole bunch of actions scenes, then a female posing seductively, more actions scenes, then the 'hero' kissing the seductive female, then a few last action scenes.

A great deal of Hollywood is completely predictable. Remember, most movies are targeted at the lowest common denominator.

There's also the trend that a new actress looking to make a name for herself will appear topless or nude in either her first or second movie. That gets her the attention she wants to make it into other films and get her name out. Many famous actresses that most guys think have never appeared nude actually have a nude scene way back in their early career, usually in a relatively unknown movie. Jamie Lee Curtis and Demi Moore are two good examples.

basic instinct!

Sex scene in Bound > *

And for the most part, most movies don't need the sex scene, unless the movie is about sex and relationships, etc. I don't get offended by it, but at the same time I kinda want it over, unless its a really pretty actress. Like that girls boobs in 21 Grams. They should have cut out some of the flashbacks and just showed more of her boobies. Then theres the opposite end of the spectrum. Like kathy bates in About Schmidt.

Joe Pantoliano completely carried that film.

Some of my favorite movies had no sex scene and I thought the romance in it was stronger because of it.
