    Am a millennial. Sex scenes in movies should follow a simple formula: don’t do sex scenes, or do real sex scenes.

    All that softcore, sex under the sheets while wearing a bra nonsense only serves to make watching it with family a bit awkward. Either make it a movie that stands on its own, or make a movie where I can actually watch celebrity people fuck in full explicitness.

    Make it porn or not, both is fine, but don’t try to appeal to both sides. That’s just awkward and frustrating to either

        Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action movies these days, guys? Full penetration. Guys, we’re going to show full penetration, and we’re going to show a lot of it.

      Not a millennial but broadly agree with you.

      It’s also just so … base … like, ok, your characters bonk, we get it, just fade to black. When did a sex scene add anything to a story other than titillation? It’s the equivalent of serving me up another algorithmically targeted TikTok video. I feel like they’re just taking advantage of me.

      So, in short, I’d be happy if they leave that shit at the door. If I was searching for porn, I’d know where to look.

      I think you touched on it here. Back in the day ppl wanted those sex scenes. Now we have porn and don’t need them for titillation

        It makes me happy that somewhere, someone, is reading your comment with no knowledge of the scene you’re referring to. I hope they search for it and are delighted.

        Edit: And I agree 100%.
