They NEVER add to the story. Sex scenes are what perverted assholes like Harvey Weinstein wanted.
Yes how could such a core aspect of the human experience possibly have any effect on any story ever
Guillermo Del Toro's "At The Mountains Of Madness" got rejected because there's no love interest. Sex scenes rarely if ever add to a movie plot unless that IS the plot
They should have added an interspecies sex scene.
Counter point the orgy in Caligula. Or atleast that one is simply historically accurate, actually I think they may have toned it down.
Sarah Conner banged a time traveller in Terminator and it actually applied to the plot by creating a paradox. It's one of the very few times that I wasn't sitting their thinking "WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING?? WTF DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??"
Have you ever wondered if you're just asexual?
No, just not a pervert who doesnt understand the concept of right and wrong times for fucking
Whatever you're dealing with I hope you get through it friend
Same to you
Apologies that it's a link to a paywalled site. I believe they allow viewing one video for free? (I can also give out up to 3 people one week for free, so if anyone's genuinely interested DM me—preferably not from a lemmy.world account though because federation problems mean I may not receive it for over a week.)
But I found this video and its part 2 very enlightening in terms of ways sex scenes can be used in a way that genuinely does enhance the story.
Not never, but it's rare.
