Sex is a part of what is considered "normal" life, but it is not something the average person is engaged in daily, and in the movies, love usually has
nothing to do with it.
They not only make sex in the movies a "second hand emotion", it is purely a response to what they make appear as an overwhelming, uncontrolling
desire or passion.
It is usually as phony and as unreal as the movie itself. Just fiction and fantasy. Most movies would be tell a much better story without it.
Yep, I've only noticed it due to watching one of the few channels that I get on my antiquated television-set called 'Talking Pictures TV'.
They show old black & white films from the late fifties up through the seventies and up to recently-made films. In the older ones, sex
isn't approached and the movie relies on a decent theme to keep the audience's attention.
And it works too, films made before I was born have great plot lines and require no need for special effects. Intrigue seems to be the
lubricant through straightforward discourse and actions that keeps a viewer from straying.
(I even watched 'Quatermass 2' again, last night!)
