if it serves the plot

To be perfectly honest, I can't think of a single movie right now where this would even apply. The movies I can think of wouldn't exactly change much if those scenes were removed ...

On a semi-related note, I am personally also sick of romance being shoehorned into movies where it doesn't belong, doesn't further the plot, or even outright takes away from the main story. WTF was Tauriel doing in "the Hobbit" for example? The literally only point she served was being a flick for one of the less important dwarves, and they knew each other for maybe like six hours of which said dwarf was unconscious for at least four of them. But sure, let's call it True Love™ and shove it into a movie that's already nearly 3 hours long. sigh

I have nothing against romance in movies in general - but it needs to actually fit the narrative at least.

Do you think Jason Vorhees could have killed all those teenagers if they didn't have sex all over his favourite camping grounds?

Yep John Connor could have never existed without the romantic boning by that penis from the future.

Under the Skin. It’s an entire movie about sex that manages to avoid anything even close to titillation.

I mean that as one of the highest possible compliments you could give a film. It’s textbook “nudity for the plot” in a totally non-ironic way. It’s actually impressive, not to mention the film is very well-made in all respects.

Under the Skin

I just read up about it and I must admit, it sounds interesting. Might give it a go when I get the chance. Thanks ^^

It served the plot in episode 1 of Game of Thrones, but it certainly wasn't tasteful.

How about the scene in Mullholland Drive where Naomi Watts masturbates to completion and the camera shows us her view as she orgasms? It didn't add anything to the plot except to add insight to her character, but I thought it was pretty cool.

I think people should watch more stuff like that actually.
