Somehow we created a society where violence is acceptable to watch but sex is not. It's okay to watch a human being realistically murder another one YET a penis appearing on screen or a penis entering a vagina/rectum is somehow a mind-blowing event we can only handle in small and censored amounts. Mostly new life come out of sex while mostly death comes out of violence.

The violence often relates to the plot, and drives the story forward. The sex scenes generally add nothing.

  Movies are supposed to be SHOW DON'T TELL. Sex for many people is the culmination of love and many other feelings. You are depriving the audience the view of one of the most fundamental events of human life.

> It's okay to watch a human being realistically murder another one Is it? Most movies are unrealistic with their plots. I wouldn't call most action movies "a human being realistically murder another one", they are stories, not real, so the violence is okay because it's not real. > Mostly new life come out of sex while mostly death comes out of violence. I think that's an oversimplification. You can use violence to protect people.

  Well is fairly normal to see someone being shot in a movie. That is a realistic way to die. An unrealistic way to die to me is someone saying the Avada Kedavra curse in Harry Potter. Even action movies for kids are relatively realistic in the way someone dies. Just to put things in perspective, think about the amount of blood you see in movies versus the amount of semen seen in movies. But let's skip movies for kids. Let's talk about adult movies: No Country for Old Men Rated R 17+: the villain strangles a policeman from behind. That scene is as realistic as they come. It haunts my dreams. > You can use violence to protect people. You can also avoid a fight by de-escalating or just walk-away which is the best option in real life but is barely portraited in movies.

    It is realistic to die by getting shot, but most fights where people get shot that you see in movies are unrealistic, that was my point.
