One of the first movies that I watched that was a genuine \u201cexperience\u201d was the 1984 sci-fi\/horror movie \u201cThe Terminator.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the first movie that scared me to my core (The titular Terminator<\/a> dragging its severed top half to kill the protagonist is a recurring nightmare of mine) and was the first R-rated movie I had ever seen. And no, I wasn\u2019t 17 years old when I watched it.<\/p>\n

WARNING: Mild spoilers for a nearly 40-year-old movie: <\/strong>The film was also my first experience with a nude sex scene in a movie.<\/p>\n

Linda Hamilton\u2019s Sarah Connor and Michael Biehn\u2019s Kyle Reese share an intimate scene as they\u2019re trying to hide from Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>\u2018s Terminator about midway through the seminal film.<\/p>\n

And even I at age [redacted] found that scene weird, misplaced and unnecessary as it only served to create a paradox in the narrative (Reese was sent to the past to protect Connor by Connor\u2019s son \u2014 a freedom fighter combating Terminators \u2014 from the future. And yes, Reese is the father of that son).<\/p>\n

Sure, that paradox may have been the point, but the weird time-hopping family tree aspect of \u201cThe Terminator\u201d is literally the weakest plot point of the franchise \u2014 and remember, this is a movie franchise that habitually incorporates the notoriously finicky aspects of time travel.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to 2024, and star actor Henry Cavill sharing shockingly similar thoughts with my [redacted]-year-old version of me.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Cavill and director Matt Vaughn (who had both worked on the recently released \u201cArgylle\u201d) covered a wide range of topics.<\/p>\n

Do you think sex scenes in movies are \u201coverused\u201d?<\/p>\n

\nYes: 98% (622 Votes)\n<\/p>\n

\nNo: 2% (10 Votes)\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But it was the discussion about sex scenes in movies that garnered the most coverage. Media outlets ranging from Variety<\/a> to IGN<\/a> covered Cavill\u2019s remarks\u2026 and it\u2019s easy to see why once you listen to him.<\/p>\n

As Hollywood continues to creep towards lurid content being normalized, Cavill and Vaughn want to push back on that.<\/p>\n
