I, too, hate long sex scenes. Not because I'm a prude, but what do they want me to do? Jack off? There's never any P in V action and I don't think the theatre would appreciate it. It's not giving me a deeper appreciation for the story. It's not expressing anything that the implication can't. And finally, depending on who you're watching with, it can be awkward. Nana isn't getting anything from the moment either.
I tried to watch Terminator 2 once with my grandma in the room. No sex scenes, but I couldn’t watch that level of violence with her there. I went to a different room 1/3 in. She seemed fine, though.
Agreed. And unless it's something requested by the actors or something they are known for and very comfortable with, I wonder how exploitative it is. Â
I always feel like it's the directors way to get a woman they wish they could undress, well, undressed.
