To think how sex is usually portrayed in TV/Film between women and men is awful?

Yes there are exceptions, but most TV and Film portray sex between a women and man as a bit of kissing/snogging and then penetration. That is it. I know if that is how I had sex I would never orgasm at all. It seems as if TV and Film are largely unaware of all the different kind of things a woman and man can do in sex.

I do think it is a way of showing a sex scene without being to graphic. A bit of kissing/cuddling/thrusting gives us the idea without showing too much detail, I am not sure that any tv/film maker has ever suggested it is the only way to have sex. There are many films or programmes that do have graphic sex scenes showing many different aspects also.

I am kind of failing to see the issue really. It is what it is . . .

Zany - other things don't necessarily have to be more graphic so I don't buy that explanation.

Gwen - you don't need to buy it, it's just my opinion so no one has to agree with me. I just fail to see the issue though and no poster so far has actually said why it really matters. I can't understand what effect it actually has on people. I also agree with others that early on in a relationship then it can be that way, often tv shows are showing that 1st time so it's quite true to life.

Most people know it's not the only way to have sex, it's just TV.

"I can't understand what effect it actually has on people. "

Well, what people see on TV does affect what they think life is like.
