Games

I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

Unless it makes sense. In "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women's minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

So when I see a movie that is just like "hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it" is just boring imo.

Meh, some of my favorite shows and movies have a lot sex scenes. Sometimes, they just add realism or contribute to aesthetics. Other times they show personality, relationship dynamics, are symbolic of other things, or are important to the plot.

I don't see sex scenes as any different than other potentially "unnecessary" scenes, like a long shot of a dripping faucet, for instance.

But, yeah, most sex scenes in games make me cringe.

I feel like some nudity and sex scenes when it's appropriate are better than not. Really ruins my sense of immersion when there's a naked person with a random potted plant conveniently blocking your view of their bits. Either commit to them being naked or don't have them naked at all is my take
