20 Movies That Should Have Had Sex Scenes
There’s been a lot of discourse around movie sex scenes lately, as the youths increasingly find them unnecessary, and their arguments aren’t meritless. For too long, Hollywood has used sex scenes that don’t move the plot forward or tell us anything about the characters performing them as an excuse to objectify women (and, to a lesser but no less veiny extent, men). You can dismiss them as prudes, but it’s not unreasonable to ask that a story not be ground to a halt so you can see the protagonist’s boobs.
On the other hand, though, sometimes a movie that’s clearly begging for a sex scene bafflingly doesn’t have one. Maybe something sexually interesting is only alluded to or characters who obviously need to bone never close the deal or a sexy element of the plot is weirdly sanitized. Whatever the case, when user klammdaddy asked r/AskReddit, “What movie SHOULD have had a sex scene?,” Reddit had plenty of gross jokes to make but also a lot of points about Hollywood’s bizarre obsession both with sex and censoring it.
