5 Reasons Why I Don’t Take Sex In Movies Seriously

The Popped Cherry

  Do you get all fired up whenever you watch sex scenes in movies?  Does the steamy shower scene affect you that you need to shove popcorns in your mouth to avoid from moaning?  I’d say, stop fantasizing or even dream about re-enacting these “love scenes” from the movies, and expect that you will have the same reaction as those actors doing the said scene.

  Here are my top 5 reasons why I don’t look forward to sex scenes in movies:

  SEX IS MESSY

  Real life sex may be pleasurable but it is messy. Not smelly-icky type of dirt but it sure will make you want to take a bath after.  In movies, especially in romantic-comedy ones, they don’t show the part where the couple doing the act get all sweaty and sticky.  Even if you do it with your AC on full blast, there will always be beads of sweat forming in your face, and in your arms and thighs… and the list goes on.  Plus, it’s hygienic to take a bath after a night of steamy passion.

  SEX IS SEX

  Sure, there is a difference between love-making and sex, in theory. You would like to believe that it is love-making because you are in love with your partner. It goes beyond the union of two bodies satisfying their carnal pleasures. Sorry to burst your bubble but most men, their main priority is to satisfy themselves.  In movies, unless you’re watching the x-rated ones, sex scenes are often the start of either a beautiful relationship, or a bitter parting gift. Either way, they glorify it as something that will either seal or break the deal in a relationship.

  SEX IS LOUD

  I know I shouldn’t be hard on sex scenes on movies. Because they try to tone down what really goes on behind the covers.  The truth is there are thumps, moans, and grunts in sex or love-making (whatever word you’re comfortable using);

  FOREPLAY DOESN’T WORK ALL THE TIME

  Sure, if you want to be in the mood for sex, you need proper lighting, candles that will smell heavenly, and a nice comfy bed.  In reality, sometimes, you just go at it.  Some couples skip all the foreplay and just dive in to the main event;

  SEX BRINGS OUT THE BEST AND WORST IN PEOPLE

  It is funny how much you will learn from your partner while you guys are having sex.  This isn’t just about the issue on “lights on or lights off”, it’s about her kinks, her dislikes, how he wants to dominate you, or how she wants to be kissed.

  Sure, these five things about my take on why I don’t really like watching sex scenes in movies may be borderline cynical and or making a mockery of the many rom-com movies out there.  One thing that I appreciate while watching these scenes in my favorite movies is that they remind us of how great sex should feel.

  I don’t believe that sex is just an obligation to your partner or because you’re just curious.  We should all enjoy having sex.  We should all be responsible in having sex. SEX shouldn’t be your idea of fun.  Don’t be fooled that you only have sex.  Once you have sex with someone, you’re giving that person a bit of yourself. Sex is good, but it is not something you do casually.
