Henry Cavill says he’s “not a fan” of sex scenes: “I don’t understand them. I’m not a fan. There are circumstances where a sex scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience, but I think sometimes they’re overused these days.”

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates You mustn’t have watched Poor Things

@TritaoPH @FilmUpdates Lol I’ve not seen the movie tho

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates Game of thrones ?

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates They used to be a sure fire way to put a female star on the map, but with so much content being made these days, they're less necessary. Also, less horny directors, the rise of stuff like PH makes the Hollywood sex scene lame, and the inconvenience of intimacy coordinators has…

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates Tell me you haven’t watched Poor Things without telling me you haven’t watched Poor Things!

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates There are way less these days. There’s a study somewhere out there that has the arts

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates Watch Poor Things

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates They always have been, not that you would know that with literally the last centry of newspaper articles about it.

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates My conservative parents are getting exactly what they wanted, and I'm pissed.

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates In movies, yes. Not in television

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates It’s not just you. Comparing having grown up in the 90s/00s where every movie i watched with my parents was a minefield of awkward moments lol you hardly see them today really except in like horny HBO shows.

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates Yep

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates Watch Peaky Blinders

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates i thought that too🤣

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates They are. Blame the international market. Forget Peoria. We need to make sure this plays in Beijing.

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates They are used FAR less often than they were in the '70s-'80s. And largely I think Henry is right. Rarely do they enhance the story. (As a teen in the '80s most of us lived for sex scenes in movies. lol.)

@purpyisgreat @FilmUpdates In the cinema yes, but on Netflix and other platforms the series and movies are full of sex.
