    Well ok but is it necessary to show the fake, non explicit sex act? I.e. is the plot furthered by watching b list actress #537 show her boobs for 20 seconds while dry humping another b list actor, of course without actually showing anything explicit?

    Implied sex, like the scene tastefully cutting out once they start undressing would work just as well.

    Just to be clear, I’m sex positive, let me watch two semi famous people fuck on camera if I am supposed to get aroused while watching. Or make a movie that stands on its own without, that I can watch without ending up with an awkward boner.

    I just think that the american, prudish softcore “nudity“ of showing some boobs for ratings is the worst of both worlds, can’t watch it as a clean family movie or show but it also isnt explicit enough to make it worth watching when horny.

      Hey, sorta related, have you ever been to a strip club? I went a single time with some friends when we were early twenties and I just could not understand the point. Exactly like you said here, it’s not like I can do anything about it if I get horny, so why am I here? Me and another friend just left early and walked home.

        That is actually the epitome of this dumb ass logic (and why I haven’t ever been). A place filled with women, specifically designed to make you super horny.

        But fucking isnt part of the deal, usually you dont even get to touch anything unless you also want to be touched, by the bouncers.

        Just come by, spend a lot of money, and go home alone. No idea how this concept stays afloat

          yup. never really got it myself; when I was in the army, people would be like “we’ll go meet women at the strip club” nah, bro, you’re gonna go dump a chunk of your earnings on looking at tits you will never touch man. and if you’re lucky enough to date a stripper, well, that’s kind of it’s own reward in my experience.

          at least in a casino you have some possibility (however minute) of going home with satisfaction…

      Unnecessary romance plot is pushed into most movies. If i have to sit through the boring romance scenes, i would rather see some boobs as a reward.

      Get rid of the unnecessary romance or let the sex scenes be.
