The love scene and the film seemed to honor the attractions and emotions shared between men and women of the same sex feelings so often not acted on because of societal hang-ups and prejudices. What exactly happens next is anyone's guess, as Tenoch and Julio wake up naked and, soon after, awkwardly head home. Cuarón films it beautifully, as the young men - being pleasured by Verdú's character, Luisa - slowly but suredly make their way to each other and share a passionate kiss. Tenoch and Julio are ostensibly straight friends, but have a flirtation finally consummated in the fateful scene where the three make love. but what was gay about this movie? I rented the film from Blockbuster (it was 2002!) and its version edited out the movie's "climax" - a three-way love scene between the film's two young protagonists, Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal), and a dying woman they met during a cross-country road trip (played by Maribel Verdú). So I rented Alfonso Cuarón's masterwork and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful, he claimed, and hot hot in a gay sense.
Here's a selection of 60 such movie sex scenes, from the classics to recent releases, each one seemingly crazier than the next.A good friend - no longer with us - recommended this Mexican film to me when it first came out. There's most of what Micky Rourke touched in the '80s. There are scenes from horror movies that make us recoil in disgust, and boundary-pushing vignettes that inspire a trove of thought pieces. There are downright hilarious sexual interactions that involve comedic timing, musical numbers, awkward improv, and/or puppets. There's the hot stuff that begs for repeated watchings. "Crazy" can be broadly interpreted in the realm of onscreen sex.
But these days, a movie sex scene has to accomplish a lot more to be memorable-especially when we've been so impressed by the earth-shattering sex scenes appearing in television shows of late (see: Normal People and Sex/Life).
It was quite steamy for its time, featuring a full-on brushing of the lips, which, let us tell you, really riled up the modest-minded folks of the late 19th century. In fact, one of the first films to be screened for the public debuted in 1896 and was called The Kiss. Sex scenes are nearly as old as movies themselves. Nowhere near the sex scenes you've seen in movies since you branched out into the R-rated category and beyond. Most likely, it was a movie of the PG-13 persuasion, which you snuck a viewing of far from the eyes of your parents when you were nowhere near the age of 13. Do you remember the first time you were sexually excited by an image on a screen? ( We do!) It might've been a music video to a teen-pop bop, or a particularly mushy episode of Buffy.
