Sex In Movies
If I’ve come to any conclusions in my 20 years on this planet, it’s that I resent the ways in which screen media depicts real life situations. They want you to cry, to feel and to laugh – so for that to happen, they depict real life situations as much more theatrical than they really are. So why is sex in movies usually so inaccurate?
Believe me, I love a good movie as much as the next girl, but sometimes I wish I could get through a move without my eyes rolling so hard into the back of my head that I almost have a self induced seizure (find link here on how to get the perfect eye roll). Though the biggest disparity, I believe, between the movies and real life, is the way in which sex is depicted.
A few years back, when I was a mere 16 year old, like many other teens, I burned over the relationships the girls in the movies were having. They had hot, impromptu sex and their first time (usually) wasn’t awkward. But now, the cramps, queef’s and fails are what I love about a long term relationship. The ability to laugh over the used-to-be awkward is what makes sex so great and I wish they would show that in the movies.
So What Is It The Movies Don’t Capture?
-
Leg/Arm Cramps
When was the last time you heard someone in a movie yell “OW, OW, OW. OUCH STOP, I’VE GOT A CRAMP”….. Never, am I right?
The movies NEVER show a good, old, debilitating arm cramp that calls for a 5 minute time out. You’ve been there, you’re trying to do your best at manoeuvring that Jopen Comet Wand, but your little arms just can’t move fast enough. I think even The Rock would get an arm cramp after 5 minutes of the Comet Wand, so don’t be too hard on yourself!

Weird Vagina Noises
No movie shows a squelching vagina or a good old queef.
It’s true, it’s not a pretty sound, but come on! It happens to the best of us.
I’d probably still rather listen to a loop of a continuous queef for 2 hours and 5 minutes than watch the movie “Valentines Day” ever again, that’s for sure.

Other Weird Body Noises
Lately, and correct me if it’s just me, but me and my partner have been making weird body noises. I’ll paint the picture for you… missionary, you’re sweaty/lubed up, armpits interlocked = fart noise. Or, sweaty, missionary, boobs on boobs = fart noise.
Rarely is lesbian sex shown in the movies as it is, but I’ll be damned if they show a real life lesbian scene, not for the male eye, with weird body queef’s. Sorry boys! It’s not all pillow fights and glamourous babes making out.
-
The Wet Patch
Whether it’s the dreaded cum drip, or if she’s a squirter, never have I ever seen a couple in a movie have to change the sheets on their bed before they go to sleep. They finish (usually at the same time),sigh and gloriously spoon each other all night.
-
Shower Sex Is Always Shown As Amazing
It is steamy, sexy, impromptu… NOT. I’m clumsy at the best of times and the potential for me to slip and die is too likely. Death by shower sex. Unless you get yourself one of these from your local Oh Zone store and then maybe you’ll be okay!
I love a good movie as much the next person does, but can we PLEASE see some more awkward, queef producing sex!
Why Do They Leave Out Common Parts Of Sex In Movies?
Sex scenes in movies rarely include sex toys, despite their common use in real life. This omission creates an unrealistic portrayal of intimacy. Sex toys enhance pleasure and are a normal part of many people’s sexual experiences. By not showing them, movies miss an opportunity to reflect diverse sexual practices. Including sex toys in films can help normalize their use and reduce stigma.
It also allows for more authentic representations of sexual exploration. Filmmakers have a responsibility to depict sex realistically, which includes the presence of sex toys. Accurate portrayals can educate and inform audiences, promoting healthy sexual behavior.
Embracing the use of sex toys in movies would contribute to more honest and inclusive storytelling. It’s time for the film industry to catch up with real-life bedroom dynamics. Showing sex toys can help bridge the gap between fantasy and reality in cinematic sex scenes.
