Am I The Only One Who Is Sick of Sex Scenes?

I'm a free-speech absolutist, further out than Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and believe in complete artistic license, but I also like discretion. I'm watching this movie, and it's not like the woman is ugly, but it's soft-core pornography, and it goes on too long (ha ha).

I'm not saying we should go back to the 1940s where they would use a dissolve, but that's not a bad idea. Or show some nudity for a few seconds, and then fade out. Let them blow their load mentally with a great movie, not a great sex scene.

JUST TO BE CLEAR...SEX SCENES ARE FINE...MOST ARE USUALLY USED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT OR STORYTELLING...IT'S THE SIMULATED SEX SEX SCENES THAT I AM SICK OF...FORCED NUDITY AND/OR SOFTCORE CHICANERY. NOEMOJI

I find most to be gratuitous and overlong, but I'm not against them as long as this isn't the case.

Sex scenes in movies are pointless, they do not make the story better and the men should jerk off at home not in the theatre,

The only reason there are sex scenes in movies and television is so people who aren't having sex in real life can live vicariously through what they are seeing on the screen.

Yes me. I always fast forward sex scenes. They're a huge turn-off.

Not in older movies. However, I find them tedious in the new movies I watch.

I don't have much need for them unless there's real heat between the actors and it actually serves the plot. That's rarer and rarer. In some instances, like GOT, it feels like they're throwing a bone to get out of having to be creative and advance the story.

Half the time I find myself wondering more about how it was filmed and if it was awkward. And somehow it sort of feels wrong that actors should feel pressured to be naked and fake intimacy. What a weird job.

I really know how it all works so I don't need a paint by numbers anymore..But my teenage self loved it all.
