Currently watching some HBO, and I gotta say easy FS vote right here!  Naked women making out with each other is one of the things that makes America truly great!  Vote FS if you agree!

I'm straight, but I can't say I can get into any movie sex scene. They usually are too brief and too fake. Some movies are better off without them.

Sex scenes are very rarely necessary or particularly helpful, and lesbian sex scenes are almost always made for the benefit of straight men in a way that is in the long run damaging to actual lesbians. Horrible Scenes.

I wouldn't be so harsh. All scenes in film and tv are made for the benefit of the viewer and the same is true of sex scenes. There's quality TV and trash TV. Quality TV will have much more nuanced sex, violence and domestic scenes than trash TV Smiley

While we are told that no-one likes to see 'unattractive' people being erotic (that's been the case in all historic representations of eroticism; they confirm to the idealised beauty of the time) there is an increasing number of quality film and TV that convey actual intimacy that advances the story (the tender scene in HBO's John Adams for example) As much as representations of lesbian sex is designed to titillate men (and in some cultures, gay sex to titillate women) it’s better than having none at all, or simply falling back on the bull-dyke stereotype. Same sex love is erotically charged and it’s good to see it portrayed as such on screen.

I dunno, I can't find other people being turned on as a turn on at all.

Oh yeah, this. Getting off from TV-14 makeout scenes is the equivalent of watching the Victoria's Secret fashion show or something; why bother?

I, at least, am not a teenager.

afleitch as usual makes a good counterpoint and I thank him for making it. It's definitely possible for scenes of intimacy to advance understanding of the characters involved, and I wouldn't want to claim otherwise. I just don't think that's very often the case, and with this particular issue--my opinion might be different if we were discussing LGBTQ characters and narratives more generally--I'm not sure I agree that bad representation is really any better than no representation.

Would this be the same "patriarchy" that causes feminists to say gems like this “And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the average dominant heterosexual (male), it may be mainly a quantitative difference.” -Susan Griffin?
