    Y’all need to go fuck some more. Films like La La Land are really missing something without a sex scene, the chemistry feels really fake and the relationship isn’t believable.

    Sex is normal. Sex is good. Sex in films is necessary to convey intensity which a pan from bed shot can never achieve.

    Great example: Terminator. Without this scene the whole franchise fails. The film doesn’t have the gravitas when John does die without it. And it’s a highly charged emotional reaction to the harrowing events they have both just been through.

      Terminator needs to have those two have sex because that’s how John Connor is born.

      What isn’t needed is us having to watch the hero fondle her tits for 5 minutes.

      sex isnt necessary for an intense relationship, and if your romantic pairing requires the characters literally porking onscreen to be believable or to read as having any chemistry you did a shit job writing it

      99% of sex on film is casual sex and to claim that “casual sex” is normal and good is not straightforward to me.

      For example most of the time with a macho male protagonist, they will show him using women for sex like disposable condoms. Another worrying trend on the rise is plot lines that basically glorify cheating.

      I am not bothered by the sex or the nudity per se, but Hollywood loves to glorify characters with very problematic characters.
