What do you do when a love scene comes on in a movie you're watching?

We all know what is going on without all the visual details. I can watch it except when my grandkids are watching also, although they are adults now. I remember that lovely movie, From Here To Eternity with Debarah Kerr and Burt Lancaster and that beach scene when they embraced, Ohh,
what a kiss, but the cameras slowly panned upwards and my friends in the theatre all looked at each other and said "Why did that happen". We were only very young then. We had to use our imagination in those days.
 
As someone that came of age in the military during war times, I became all too aware of how and why the majority of men, want to see as much gratuitous sex in movies, TV, and media despite availability of A to Z porn for decades. Despite having a "Let it Be" attitude on many controversial issues I don't personally approve of, I would ban from general public view, most of it in an instant without any debate.

Soon citizens will be publicly debating these issues and will see news stories due to the recent the rise of disgusting AI porn. One can be certain, if there is a buck to be made from sex, some will push whatever to limits until they get legal resistance.
 
If I wanted to watch porn I would.
I'm at an age now where that stuff isn't something I wanna see on tv or in a movie while I'm tryna eat. It has become the equivalent of CSI at the dinner table. Yuck! I don't know why they just can't stick with sending them to the bedroom and then cutting to afterwords or the next day or whatever.

I either turn said movie off or mute it and look at chat thru the gross parts.
 
Isn't there an unrated cut of "Team America: World Police" that puppet movie?

I guess it gets pretty "puppet-nasty" but I haven't seen the gross version.
 
Well, the short answer for me is it depends. Sometimes OK, and sometimes, no thanks.
To elaborate, when two people are knocking over lamps and crashing into walls on the way to the bedroom, and you are invited to view everything they own and everything they're doing with it, then it's soft or hard porn they are peddling. There are places to view that, if you're so inclined (Or reclined).

However, if the love scene is tastefully done (Sparing the graphic anatomy lesson), and the focus is on the love and romantic feeling towards each other, which is integral to the plot, then I am on board. If a nipple or two comes into view, that's fine, but I don't really need to see a trampoline butt or where each other's parts are. I enjoy love scenes when that's how they are presented, but heaving bodies aren't a prerequisite for that.

Sex sells. Simple. The movie makers want to rake in as much money as possible.

That's it, in a nutshell. However, If a sex scene comes about as a result of plot development and the character's converging feelings, then I'm O.K. with it.

It just seems that adventure and drama films geared to the younger audience pepper the plot with impromptu sex scenes and...I hope I'm not sounding like some old prude, I'm not. But really...shrug.gif

...not to mention the "F word" being dropped in literally each and every scene. :rolleyes:
