    i just want to watch a movie without uneasy scenes that ruin the entire experience

    I’m okay with certain movies having them, I’ll just not watch those. But there are movies that you watch for other reasons that don’t need them at all, like the matrix for example.

      And yet in The Matrix, Trinity’s devotion to Neo is central to the plot, the sharp distinction between the gritty real world and colorful virtual world is central to the plot. Sex fits. (Unless you mean the newest sequel, that I haven’t seen)

      (And yes, I give Carrie-Ann Moss bonus credit for that)

      I mean, I get what you’re saying but my whole point is how does sex “ruin the entire experience?”

        I think many people feel uneasy because they were taught sex (and nudity!) is something naughty, shameful. It’s easy to feel that way when you grow up in certain culture and it’s a hard thing to break free of even when you’re adult and know better.
