Sex scenes in movies and TV are no longer just gratuitous parts of the movie placed to attract a bigger audience. It could be really hot, funny or awkward.
Gaspar Noe, a French-Argentine filmmaker, offered a 3D exploration of sex in what The Daily Beast lists are the most NSFW film of the year, "Love," because of the "intimate very hot sex scene" of the threesome who were writhing and contorting their bodies in every which way. Unfortunately, media coverage of the movie was on a close-up shot of a male organ releasing semen into the faces of moviegoers. Because of its nudity, orgy and transvestite sex worker, the film sparked brawls at Cannes when moviegoers tried to get tickets for the film's midnight screening.
Another group sex was featured in the Episode 6, Season 1 of "Sense8" titled "Demons," a Netflix series. The orgy had more than three participants as eight strangers from different parts of the world were linked mentally and emotionally inside the Jacuzzi. The teaser includes self-pleasuring, gay sex and, of course, groupies in the bathtub.
But not all screen sex is steamy, some are funny like the scene between Amy Schumer and MMA fighter John Cena in "Trainwreck," directed by Judd Apatow. Cena, a macho-looking but closeted boyfriend of Schumer is "great at pumping iron and awful at talking dirty." Rather than arouse, the scene wherein Cena was on top of Schumer, who was spread-eagled, definitely elicited laughter.
In Episode 1, titled "Iowa" of "Girls" Season 4, every sex scene is described as awkward sex such as Marnie, played by Allison Williams, tied to a bed and staring at a doll while having sex as well in a morning kitchen anilingus with Desi, played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Finally, back to hot sex with Episode 3, titled "Mary Jane Knows Best" in Season 2 of "Being Mary Jane." Here, broadcast journalist Mary Jane, played by Gabrielle Union, wears a sexy dress after stopping the advances of David and the giving Cutty Buddy, played by former footballer Thomas Q. Jones. Despite his begging her to stay for the night, Mary Janes says goodbye to Cutty and leaves him.
However, for Entertainment Weekly, the most awkward on-screen sex scene for 2015 must include that between Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in "Fifty Shades of Grey," causing the entertainment website to comment that "Leonardo DiCaprio and Judy the Bear have more chemistry than these two," referring to the scene between beast and fur-hunter in "The Revenant."
