I have a standing wager with my friends that there has never been a filmed or written sex scene that needed to be included in the media. Talk about it, allude to it, show the ramifications of it, but there has never been one that needed to be there. Sex scenes are there to sell TnA, not to move the plot forward.

For an example of a close call. In A History of Violence, Viggo rapes his wife. This is about as close as you could come to a needed scene because it shows a wild character development, but if you were to cut the scene out entirely, you'd still get all of the character development that he gets from the scene, anyway, rendering it useless.

I think none of you have seen Irreversible.

We can tell when a movie is being sold by the one sex scene in it and if that is the case, there isn't much value to the movie

Whatever happened to great movies like Breakfast Club? (I'm gen-x)
