Subject: Is sex disappearing from Hollywood movies?

Written By: ChuckyG on 03/28/13 at 7:20 am

Hollywood has kissed goodbye to the steamy sex scene

This generation’s film-goers don’t get their romance from Hollywood. They get it from PornHub.com.

I'm afraid to see what Howard thinks of this line... as true as it may be

I was thinking sex and dialogue got more graphic over the years, but actual nudity became much less common. A lot of cable shows make up for it, though, nowadays.

I think sex is disappearing slowly from the movies. Not everyone is interested these days to do a hot steamy sex scene on the bed or in the tub, our generation seems to have grown up and these days want to appeal to a PG audience.

Not wholesome enough, though, for today’s over-25 female audiences, who, according to a Warner Bros marketing report, now make the majority of a couple’s decisions over which films to see. These women would rather watch cutesy, metrosexual man-boys like Ryan Gosling enjoy gauche, non-sexually-threatening encounters with klutzy girl-next-door types like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence – when there aren’t any giant flesh-eating beetles on offer.

Too true.

You can have all the Internet porn in the world, but there was nothing like seeing a pair of bodacious tatas on the big screen.  Sorry to see them go!

I agree with you there, I think sex on the movie screen made the film more enjoyable. Now that we have internet porn there's no need for hot steamy sex scenes anymore.

I wonder if these 'sex scenes' peaked in the 80s and the first half of the 90s?

It peaked in the 80's because people were charged up, girls were being sexy and hot and you had all those teenage sex films like Porky's, Just One Of The Guys and Revenge Of The Nerds.

Yep.  Around 1985 or so was the end of the Golden Age, which was only 13 years old. Inexpensive VCR's pretty much killed the big-budget, 35mm porn heyday.

I just read this article that apparently being a porn star is not what it was just a few years ago, times are tough all over.  :P

The porn industry is not what it used to be these days. A porn film always started out with a story then ended up with carnal sex.

Most mainstream sex scenes were pretty tame in the 80's, but there was a lot of nudity.  Mainstream sex scenes got more racy over the years, but actual nudity got toned down.

The 80's was all about nudity, I guess it was either the sex pills or the foods they ate that put them in the mood.

Sometimes more often than that.  Johnny Wadd made love to about 14,000 women.  That would work out to more than one a day.  I imagine he took his vitamins.  ;D

You'd have to come to work pretty excited to work with the actresses.

Well when you see some of Johnny's later flicks, I'm not sure if he was 'excited' at all.  :-X

He was dying of AIDS and doing it for another line of booger sugar.  I don't think he was a happy fella in the sunset of his career.

The funny thing is, contrary to what Howard, was saying, John Leslie of Golden Age fame says he only used to work about 45 days a year.  Nowadays the Van Nuys is packed with f*** factories.  I mean, in the industrial sense.  Porn stars have to do way more sex for way less money.  It's like an assembly line job and performers get totally burned out in two years. 

It's like with music.  I always bitched about the major labels (Capitol, Warner Bros., A&M, etc.) keeping a stranglehold on artists.  Sure, the major labels often pushed artists into making more accessible music and away from innovation.  At the same time, a lot of artists left to their own devices make total crap.

and when they get burned out, they start drinking or start smoking, grow love handles or get fat.
