Sex Scenes
 

Making a major assumption that many of us understand the difference between self-righteous moralism and a Gospel-centered life, I have a few questions to pitch out to the folks on AFF.

Issues of violence and language in a movie seem easier to deal with. What's the goal of the movie? What's the point? What's the story? Is it to glorify violence? Is it overboard? We must make those choices for ourselves.

However, with sex scenes, sexual innuendo, etc... what is there to do? This is a problem in PG, R and NR movies. Men, do you watch these naked characters simulate sex? Do you come up with some type of control for that (turning away, forwarding, etc) do you have a tolerance level for it?

Being visual creatures, does this type of titilization pose a threat to a man's integrity and purity? Does it lead you to sin (not an actual external act, but what about internal)?

Specifically, for sexual scenes in otherwise great movies, what do you do for your home?

Brother,

You should not be watching these movies if they are questionable.

You should make your own sex scene in the privacy of your bedroom with your beloved.

These questions may be being asked by a woman for any kind of reason. I am interested in hearing from the men (and women) on this forum.

We'd rather just watch.

Hardy-har-har. :smack

Okay, seriously everyone, where should the line be? You've got all the way from goo-goo eyes and smooching lightly all the way to XXX. Of course, if you watch XXX, a bit of nudity will not check your spirit because your conscience on the matter is seared anyway.:grampa

Well, someone may be a single mother trying to draw lines for her boys, for example.

Was watching the Super Bowl with friends who have two pre-teen boys. For some of the commercials, the mom told the boys to close their eyes. And they did. (Far as we could tell, anyway. :lol)

I just close one eye.
