R rated sex themed movies with no sex and no nudity
I mean, what is the point of this?
I don't understand why you would make a movie where sex is the central element of the plot, have it be R rated, and then not have any real sex scenes or nudity to speak of.
I understand watering down a film to get a PG-13 rating, but what's with this weird trend over the last decade?
During the 90's sex based R rated movies had LOTS of hard sexual content, as you would expect. Erotic thrillers were a big genre, and teen sex romps, etc.
But now we've entered a world where you have movies like "Sex Tape" and "Sleeping with Other People", both rated R and both largely centered around sex, with absolutely no real sexual content.
I'm not expecting porn or anything, I'm not expecting it to be Fifty Shades of Gray, but it feels weird and lifeless to see a movie ABOUT sex and hear the characters talking about sex for 2 hours and not include any actual sexual content.
