Movies Where Sex Scenes Were A Necessity (18 PICS)

“Boogie Nights. Beyond the fact that it’s a movie about the porn industry, the sex scenes actually serve a clear purpose to set the tone and give the audience an understanding of the characters and their identities relating to what they do for a living.”

“The 40-year-old virgin”

“Probably the original Terminator (1984), since John hadn’t been conceived yet, and Kyle Reese (who turned out to be his father) was scripted to die at the end. The absence of a sex scene would’ve been a plot hole.”

-RedFeather_Coronatus

“The 50 Shades of Grey movies.”

-NoctisLuxus

“Friends with benefits and No strings attached. Basically the same movie with different actors but it’s basically a rom-com about two friends who have sex with each other regularly. Be Pretty hard to film a movie about casual sex with no sex scenes in it.”

-Eggsegret

“Teeth. Becasue her vagina has…well…teeth.”

“Blue is the Warmest Color is to me an example of a movie that needed sex scenes but also didn’t need THAT MUCH of them. The movie is very much about a sexual relationship and the sex scenes do a lot to illustrate things about the characters and their relationship, but they don’t need to be several minutes long. Just felt gratuitous and exploitative at the end of the day.”

“Brokeback Mountain. It needed to treat a gay romance the same way Hollywood treats a heterosexual one”

“I guess you have to have at least one sex scene in a film called Nymphomaniac”

“Dallas buyers club. Pretty critical to the plot.”

“It Follows

If you haven’t seen it, the plot of the movie is that there’s a monster that slowly follows a person until it catches and kills them. However, if they have sex with someone, the monster starts pursuing their partner instead."
