I just personally find real sex in movies to be distracting. Obviously, in porn it's the whole point, but I don't see the point of real sex in a non-pornographic film. I've seen plenty of movies that claim to be intelligent art films with real sex in them. Caligula (terrible), Romance (average at best), Shortbus (not my cup of tea), 9 Songs (bah). The only one that is pretty good is actually one of the earliest. Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses. That one isn't bad. It's also not that great though.

real films, when simulated would work just fine. Even the knowledge that two people are having sex in a movie is plenty for me...I mean we ALL know what that's like. Must we see it? And if we see it, must we see actual penetration? I mean, is it really necessary?
