    I think a lot of times the scenes are still done heavily through a male gaze. You’ll see more frontal of her than you ever will of a man.

    Sex in movies always felt awkward because usually it’s a plot device to push the male character’s story, a ‘reward’ for the male character… Or just one of many sexual assault scenes bestowed on nearly every female character ever because “DRAMA.”

    Not all sex scenes are like this, but a LOT of sex scenes are like this.
