Steven Soderbergh Says Sex Scenes Are As ‘Ridiculous’ and ‘Impossible’ as Shooting Underwater

1. I always found it ridiculous that after the scene is done and the two people wake up in bed in the morning the woman holds the sheets covering her breast. No woman I’ve ever been with has ever covered herself with embarrassment after the deed is done.

2. So he’s never seen Thunderball?

3. The GFE was his titanic

4. [Obligatory post about Abyss behind the scenes for those not in the know](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k1y6TGW24I&t=66s) – I wonder if Spielberg and Cameron have occasional therapy sessions about their respective experiences?

5. Sex scenes are the most unnecessary scenes in any movie… aside from the one in Team America: World Police, that was done so tastefully.

   Sex scenes do NOT drive the story, it doesn’t add depth, and is totally and 100% not needed to get the point across. Subtlety and implication is more effective and allows the viewers to fill in the blanks so the movie becomes… personal?

   I don’t need to see 2 people pretending to be banging in 20 fake positions before going back to their casino heist or whatever stupid movie it is.
