A sex scene with no description that fades to black isn't a sex scene tho...

[(Anonymous)]

Do you not know the difference between a PG-13 sex scene vs an R-Rated sex scene vs a porn sex scene?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. A fade to black is its own thing and does let you know sex happened, but it isn't a scene of sex.

[herpymcderp]

Yes it still is. Sex scenes and their intricacies are a large part of why we have the rating systems we have today.

Just think of how things are done in movies:

A PG-13 sex scene is still going to DEFINITELY be a sex scene. People are getting pretty hot and heavy, clothes might come off but most of the skin stays covered, maybe there's a bit of heavy petting and people climbing all over each other. It still something you'd feel a little bit weird about watching with your parents, but then at the last second it spares you the gory details. Maybe it throws in a bit of moaning, a camera pan, and a cute visual of a train pulling into a station to let you know that certain body parts are interacting. This would be a sex scene, but it wouldn't be an explicit one.

The R sex scene shows a lot more. Butts, boobs, skin, movements, noises. It's fairly explicit but skirts the line of being X rated because there's no visual of genitals. It's something you probably don't want to watch with your parents around. This is a sex scene you still might call "explicit" but it's not going to get a porn tag. It also might disappoint someone who was out looking for porn if you called it porn.

I'm sure I don't have to go into what constitutes an X rated sex scene.

But either way, they are all correctly called "sex scenes", because that is what they depict to varying levels of immodesty.

See, I still just don't agree with the first one being a true sex scene. It alludes to it, but that isn't what happens in the scene, thus it isn't a scene depicting sex. This is just a disagreement of semantics I don't think we'll compromise on though.

[herpymcderp]

This isn't a disagreement of semantics so much as it is your personal distaste for North American storytelling industry ratings and classification systems, but you do you anon.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean I greatly dislike american rating systems too, but at the moment mostly I am just disagreeing about what I would call a "sex scene", just those specific words.

[herpymcderp]

And I'm informing you that those are what the entire rest of the industry calls sex scenes.

I'm not trying to say that you have to kowtow, but that you must realize there is a convention to what those words mean, and that when you use them to mean something else you will inevitably wind up confusing other people who understand them to mean something different.

[herpymcderp]

Sure it is. It can be all makey-outey and neaaaarly go there. If it's generally understood that two or more people are about to engage in some sex, it's a sex scene.

It doesn't have to outright talk about penises or vaginas or whatever organs are involved.

[(Anonymous)]

See I don't agree. I don't think "about to have sex" = "a sex scene". A sex scene is a scene where they HAVE sex, not leading up to it. What you describe I would just call a make out scene.

[herpymcderp]

Please see above, since I don't want to type it all out again.

Ok, really. Have you never watched a PG-13 sex scene in a movie? Or TV show?

Do you not consider this sex (scene from Scrubs)? https://youtu.be/NK0sVkuQo1Q
