Believe it or not, sex and nudity in cinema harks all the way back to the silent era. The 7-minute film Le Coucher de la Mariee (it had to be French, of course) had actress Louise Willy (don’t laugh) performing a bathroom striptease, presumably because directors were already bored with filming nice things like trees and trains and people with their clothes on by 1899.
We’ve come a long way since then, especially when you realise just how far some filmmakers have gone to bring a certain kind of “authenticity” to their pictures. We’re talking about unsimulated sex, of course – and for those of you still scratching your heads trying to work out the meaning of that phrase, we mean sex that’s totally and utterly legit.
Believe it or not, there are quite a few movies out there – not of the “pornographic” variety – that contain actual sex scenes.
