I feel the same. I absolutely agree about the uncomfortable actors part, though I hope nowadays intimacy coordinators help with that. I watched one BL movie years ago and it was the least sexy thing I have ever seen.

But I'd also like to point out that a lot of sex scenes are not well written, or at least don't have what I want out of it. It's like fight scenes: there's spectacle (they fight), there's well-executed spectacle (ex: they fight using their environment in interesting ways), and then there's meaning (the fight establishes characters) and story (character moments happen during the fight).

(That's why porn works. Since I'm not watching porn for characters, if the porn gives me the right kind of spectacle, I'm happy.)

Even shows that pride themselves on their sex scenes often do not get past the spectacle, because the sex is not about the characters, it is about/for the audience (and the trailer, and the scandalous buzz). And in the same way I get bored with an action scene that explodes one car after the other and start thinking about how they shot this, I get bored with a sex scene that is nothing but too-hot people moving perfectly together and start thinking about how they shot this.

Ironically enough, I think Heated Rivalry is an example of very well-written sex scenes (and if it helps, the actors talk about how comfortable they were shooting them). You couldn't make a PG-13 version of the show by just fading to black as the characters start kissing in earnest without losing important context on how the relationship develops.
