‘Sex is an emotion in motion.’ Mae West
Sex in the movies has been around since pictures first moved. Through censorship and revolution, it has always managed to find its way on to the screen via audience imagination, metaphor, nudity and sound effects — sometimes it’s even been the real thing. And that’s not including pornography.

‘Why do films not show sex? So many films are love stories, so why
not show a love story through two people making love?
It seems perverse.’ Michael Winterbottom, director 9 Songs
