  • Sex Scenes That Aren't Sexy.


    This obviously isn't from a movie, but it gets my point across.

    In general, sex scenes in mainstream movies are meant to entice, right? Sometimes, however, they fall a bit short. I stumbled across a list of five sex scenes in movies that, quite simply, aren't sexy. I don't think I'm allowed to post any of the videos here, but the list includes scenes from:

    *Showgirls
    *Titanic
    *Purple Rain (Prince is a lot closer to "creepy" than he is "sexy," no?
    *Two other movies that I had never heard of.

    However, after thinking about it, I came to realize: 2009 might be the year of unsexy sex scenes.

    In just over six short months, we've had these gems in theaters:


    My Bloody Valentine 3D
    . Besides being in 3D, there wasn't a whole lot memorable about this flick... except for the most random of scenes, an awkward sex scene with a trucker and hooker in a motel that gave way to a naked chase. Seriously, just read that last sentence again, and don't see the movie.


    Donkey Punch
    . THIS WAS A REAL MOVIE. It was in limited theatrical release early on this year, and I absolutely did not have the guts to buy a ticket. Frankly, I didn't want to tell my friends "Yeah, I spent $10 to see Donkey Punch. So what?"

    Moving on.


    The Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. The most vile scene on the list. Sickening.


    Watchmen
    . A whole lot about this movie was disappointing, but I have to think that the weirdest scene was when Nite Owl and Silk Spectre awkwardly (seriously, it was unbelievably awkward) got together to, of all songs, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. If you were there and listened closely, you could totally hear audiences cringing.


    Crank: High Voltage.
    I didn't actually see this movie or the next one on the list, but I remember there being an unbelievably public intimate moment in the first one, and I have to assume something like that happened in the second.


    Finally, Bruno. All I keep hearing about is how people keep walking out of this movie. Whether it's because it's bad, or because people are grossed out over a certain scene that's been getting a lot of buzz, I'm not sure.

    I ask you guys and girls in tongue twister form: what is the "least sexy" sex scene you've ever seen?



    A couple notes: I felt kind of weird/pervy about writing this. I also felt like I was 13 for giggling when I typed "sexy sex" out. Also, I can guarantee that Google won't be showing ads on this post. Sorry, Mancouch bosses!

    Finally, my nominee for the least sexy sex scene (there it is again!) is the one from A History of Violence on the stairs. It just looks painful.
