Why do they even put sex scenes in movies anymore? Like, does anyone feel anything but vaguely uncomfortable watching them? They’re not explicit enough to titillate most people in the age of instantly-available internet pornography, and just serve to make awkward silences when trying to watch movies with friends and family. It’s seldom that plot-relevant things occur or are said during them - why not just cut to black? Why do we have to suffer through several minutes of awkward moaning and close-ups of naked shoulders and necks?
