Watching actors pretend to have sex is completely different than watching regular people fornicate. I know because one of my buddies once left the game room window open. Naturally, being complete perverts, my roommates and I grabbed some lawn chairs and drank beer while commentating on the action. It was dirty, it was awkward, and it was way less entertaining than Hollywood elites bumping uglies. Some elitists would probably complain and say how unfair it is that studio executives shoot unrealistic images, but I, for one, have no problem with seeing semi-clothed starlets looking as sexy as possible.
Apparently, AOL agrees with me because the internet juggernaut decided to compile their own list of best sex scenes. From early scandalous shoots like 1966's Blow-Up to the more recent A History Of Violence this grouping includes everything...even pictures. Don’t get too excited, though, this is AOL not Mr. Skin. The fornication feature is pretty all-inclusive and even gives credit to gay and lesbian depictions like Boys Don’t Cry and Brokeback Mountain. Good for you, American Online.
Sadly, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Robert Romanus’ nearly X-rated awkward romp in Fast Times At Ridgemont High is not included along with other omissions like Shortbus and The Cooler but it’s really hard to frown on this collection as a whole. Here’s a rundown of the entire list....
