I hate sex scenes in this movie for this reason. If I WANTED to see that, there is an infinite supply of higher quality content, that's a billion times more likely to pander to whatever sick disgusting thing I'm jillinterested in that week, and it's probably free. In fact, sometimes I'm posting bait of my interests on of and guys pay to DM me, usually ignoring the bait and asking about random shit like feet/vore, but I still get paid.

But in the movie world you get the blandest shit possible and if you're lucky the most mature person watching with you is going "giggitygiggity" or w/e.

Sex scenes exist for other reasons than being pornographic.

I don't think I've ever seen a sex scene and went "yes this is necessary for the plot".

I mean that's already an odd way to look at it. Like when you watch a movie do you go "I'm sure they could have told this story without all those action scenes"? Sex scenes can tell us about characters and their relationship to one another, it can tell us how a character is feeling and it can be a great way to set the mood for a scene.

I do in fact do that.

Most action scenes, sex or violence, are pointless and convey nothing. It's really fucking frustrating, because it could, you could fit so much characterization so much perspective. And they just never fucking do.

There are absolutely action scenes where they're there because they should be. Especially if it's an action movie where the point is all the cool fighting scenes. John Wick would fucking suck if his dog got shot and then he went to a therapist.

If what I wanted was a sex scene then I'd watch porn.

Same goes for sex scenes

'Lovecraft country', the one with the shape shifting couple.

Edit: after you watch that you will hate the way sex scenes are usually used so fucking much more.

Sex scenes are like action scenes: usually shallow pointless and totally devoid of meaning.

But they can be done well, can be part of the plot, can be beautiful and meaningful. American directors just usually don't bother.
