🎬 What movie sex scenes make you want to scream “that’s not how it works!”? 🎥
You know those moments in movies when you’re watching a sex scene and you just can’t help but cringe at the unrealistic portrayal of intimacy? Whether it’s the absurd positions, the lack of communication, or the over-the-top theatrics, there are plenty of movie sex scenes that leave us scratching our heads. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most cringeworthy and unrealistic sex scenes in Hollywood, and discuss why they don’t quite measure up to real-life intimacy.
## Unrealistic Positions and Performances
When it comes to movie sex scenes, it’s not uncommon to see actors contorting themselves into physically impossible positions or engaging in acrobatic feats that defy the laws of anatomy. While these scenes may be visually striking, they often fail to capture the realities of intimate relationships. Here are some examples of movie sex scenes that leave much to be desired in terms of realism:
### 1. The Not-So-Spontaneous Yoga Session
In many Hollywood films, sex scenes are portrayed as perfectly choreographed acts of passion, with the actors seamlessly transitioning from one acrobatic pose to the next. However, in reality, intimacy is often much more awkward and clumsy, with both partners fumbling to find a comfortable position. Movies that portray sex as a well-rehearsed dance may set unrealistic expectations for viewers and lead to feelings of inadequacy in their own relationships.
### 2. The Impossibly Perfect Performances
In some movie sex scenes, the actors’ performances are so over-the-top and exaggerated that they border on parody. From exaggerated moans and groans to impossibly perfect bodies, these scenes often feel entirely detached from reality. While it’s natural for films to take artistic liberties, it’s important to remember that real intimacy is messy, imperfect, and far from the flawless performances often depicted on screen.
## Lack of Communication and Consent
Another common flaw in Hollywood sex scenes is the lack of communication and consent between partners. While movies may depict spontaneous and passionate encounters, they often fail to address the importance of clear communication and mutual consent in healthy relationships. Here are a few examples of movie sex scenes that fall short in this regard:
### 1. The Unspoken Assumptions
In many films, sex scenes are portrayed as spontaneous and without any verbal communication between partners. While nonverbal cues can be important in intimate relationships, it’s crucial for partners to communicate their desires, boundaries, and consent openly and directly. Movies that gloss over the importance of communication may perpetuate harmful stereotypes about sex and relationships.
### 2. The Lack of Consent
Unfortunately, there are numerous examples of movies that feature sex scenes in which one partner fails to obtain clear consent from the other. Whether it’s through coercion, manipulation, or simply ignoring the importance of verbal consent, these scenes send a damaging message about the nature of healthy sexual relationships. It’s essential for films to portray sex in a way that emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, communication, and consent.
## Over-The-Top Theatrics and Misrepresentations
In addition to the physical and emotional inaccuracies of many movie sex scenes, there’s often an element of exaggerated theatrics and misrepresentation that further detracts from their realism. From unrealistic depictions of pleasure to the omission of important aspects of intimacy, these scenes often fail to capture the true nature of sexual relationships. Here are a few examples of movie sex scenes that miss the mark when it comes to authenticity:
### 1. The Hollywood-Style Orgasms
In many Hollywood films, female orgasms are portrayed as loud, dramatic, and instantaneous – often with little to no stimulation or foreplay. These exaggerated depictions of pleasure not only misrepresent the realities of women’s sexual experiences, but they also perpetuate harmful myths about female sexuality. It’s crucial for films to portray orgasm in a way that reflects the diverse and individual nature of sexual pleasure.
### 2. The Omission of Realistic Intimacy
Finally, many movie sex scenes fail to capture the true depth and intimacy of real relationships. From the lack of emotional connection to the omission of conversations about sexual health and safety, these scenes often present a one-dimensional and unrealistic view of intimacy. It’s important for films to portray sex in a way that acknowledges the complexities and nuances of real relationships, including the emotional, physical, and communicative aspects of intimacy.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, while movie sex scenes may be entertaining and visually compelling, they often fall short when it comes to realistically portraying intimacy and relationships. By perpetuating unrealistic expectations, misrepresenting pleasure, and omitting aspects of healthy sexual relationships, these scenes can have a damaging impact on viewers’ perceptions of intimacy. It’s essential for filmmakers to take a more thoughtful and nuanced approach to depicting sex on screen, one that acknowledges the diverse and complex nature of human sexuality. Only by portraying intimacy in a more authentic and respectful manner can films begin to dismantle harmful stereotypes and foster a healthier understanding of relationships and sexuality.

Pretty much all of _50 Shades,_ but one that does this to me the most is in _Booksmart_, an otherwise great movie.
In the scene, one young woman goes down on another young woman, but accidentally performs on “the wrong hole.” Which, no.
That kind of confusion might happen with a penis, maybe even with fingers. But there is no way someone (especially someone who _owns a vagina themselves_) is going to think an anus is a vulva for more than a second when using _their mouth_. The texture and general make-up is just too entirely different. _And,_ the vulva would be right there, right around where their nose would be. They would have to go past it.
It is simply not a thing that would happen.
Any scene where the guy just slams his cock into her with zero foreplay and she starts moaning/enjoying it. That would be really painful.
Every movie where people check into hotels by just saying their name and being handed a key. A scary amount of people think it really works like this and tantrum if you ask for their ID.
There’s also an unreasonable amount of people that think every hotel has full room service. No Karen, you have to come down to get the free breakfast at Best Western.
Pretty much every movie with a sex scene where they finish and just roll right over and go to sleep. Where’s the cleanup?
All of them in “The Room”
All softcore porn where it looks like the guy is humping her bellybutton.
Any one where the guy caresses a girl down and immediately slips it in without looking, using his hands or even having light. Bull shit.
Pretty much every gay movie.
No prep, no cleaning out, anal sex takes time.
Team America: World Police. Because reasons.
Not a movie but the sex scenes in Weeds always bothered me. They would make out for like 2 seconds and then the guy would bend her over, shove her pants down and roughly start fucking her. Every single time. No foreplay for either of them, no warning, just BAM! Extremely rough pounding with no lube and he’s done in 30 seconds or less. I assume a lot of the target audience is women and I can’t for the life of me understand why this is supposed to be sexy to them.
Pretty much every scene.
Both people ALWAYS reach orgasm at the exact same time…….THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS
Everyone just falls alseep in each others arms, no one ever gets up to get a towel….THAT’S NOT HOW THAT WORKS
The one in scary movie where she was going down on the dude and he ejaculates and she gets splodged to the roof. Everyone knows that’s not how it works, she would have had the back of her head blown off if it was real.
Any time it is in a shower
Brokeback Mountain. It _definitely_ doesn’t work like that.
Showgirls
**The Exception (2016):** both the main characters are just going to start having sex without lube or foreplay and somehow it works and isn’t uncomfortable? Eh, Lily James boobs and Jai Courtney penis though.
Brokeback Mountain
Demolition man.
I remember watching the first Underworld movie and wondering why in the sex scene he was sticking it in her belly button.
Showgirls.
Or maybe that was a realistic depiction of what it looks like to have sex with someone while they have a seizure in a hot tub
The sheer number of romantic sex scenes in movies where they are very slowly moving in sync the first time they sleep together as if they were mythical soulmates. Instead of, you know, awkwardly stumbling and laughing because new body new rules.
Any one where they immediately start throwing each other around like they’re in an MMA match and then fuck with zero foreplay . Just walked into an apartment with someone? Rip all the buttons off their shirt and angry fuck them on the kitchen sink.
Anytime they are falling onto the bed after climaxing
So many movies where the implication is that they just had sex, but they roll out of bed with underwear on. I mean it’s *possible* but it’s not very likely.
There’s a scene in *But I’m A Cheerleader* where the characters more or less address this. It’s these gay teens in a conversion camp, and they’re watching a simulation of what “straight sex” is supposed to be like. One boy raises his hand and asks, “umm, what about foreplay?” The director says, “No, foreplay is for sissies! Real men go in, unload, then pull out!”
In The Idol when he’s eating her out in the car but she’s wearing a leotard that she doesn’t take off at all and his head is at her abdomen.
Not exactly a sex scene per se, but when people have sex and then it shows them waking up the next morning and the girls wearing her bra. I mean find some other way to maintain your pg rating. Keep the sheets up, or wear a shirt at least. Who the fuck goes to sleep with their bra on?
Any gay sex scene. I swear they just dont get it, there’s an insane amount of prep that a bottom has to do to have a good time
I’m gonna go with Deliverance on this one
Any movie with Steven Segal.
In the movie Excalibur from 1981, there’s a scene between a knight, and a princess. The woman is completely nude on the bed. The knight is in full plate armour. The only bit of skin you could see on him was his face. And that was just because he didn’t have his helmet visor down. He was ‘thrusting’ between her legs and acted like she was enjoying it.
I first saw that movie at home when I was 15. I’m a dude, and even then I was thinking, ‘wouldn’t all that metal be cold to her? What happens if something gets pinched? Does the cod piece unlock just so he can get his dick out? Couldn’t the sharp edges cut either of them?’
Very odd scene
Brokeback Mountain.
They’ve been eating nothing but baked beans in the mountains for god-knows how long, and you’re telling me that with no preparation whatsoever they’re going to have passionate, spontaneous bum sex?
Saltburn. You know the one.
The English Patient. Sex in a tub? That doesn’t work! Please, give me something I can use!
Not a movie but that new Netflix show Obliterated.
Shelley Henning was violently pounding on top of dude. She was trying to jackhammer his balls with her booty cheeks
Anytime people start going at it as soon as they wake up
Brush your fucking teeth and have a piss man
Team America is the only film that has ever captured the clumsy fury of true romance
Any of the “impulsive anal sex” scenes between Mickey and Ian in the US version of Shameless. There’s so many scenes where they go from fighting/arguing to anal in 10 seconds with nothing more than a licked or spat in palm for lube.
Power bottom Mickey would be so raw and prolapsed as fuck. It’s just not how bum stuff works.
And in every single sex scene, the female leaves her bra on. I get that, due to ratings, but it just looks so unnatural.
That one scene in Hot Shots. No matter how hot a girl is, it’s never going to be enough to cook a slab of bacon on her belly.
Not a movie, but a TV show. True Blood. Bill is buried in the ground naked. Sookie thinks he’s dead. Is crying on his grave. Dude comes out of the ground and they immediately start fucking.
First off, she is not wet yet. She was just crying her eyes out
Secondly, he doesn’t clean the graveyard dirt off his dick??? I smell an infection in Sookie’s future
Revenge of the Nerds.
Nerd (in mask and costume) follows hot cheerleader into ‘funhouse’. They bone. He takes off the mask to reveal he’s not her boyfriend. She’s totally cool with this and decides nerds are better in the sack than Alpha Betas.
