    It’s all a part of the human condition and a major motivation for many people’s actions, why wouldn’t you show it? Man, everyone is getting a bit too sensitive nowadays for the thing that put pretty much all of us on the planet.

    I just don’t see a point in showing the actual act (even if they don’t show any genitals). I’m not watching movies to get “hot and bothered”, and it rarely is sexy anyways. Most of the time it’s kind of just gross.
