What mainstream film featured the first sex scene?

Question

Plus, why is it necessary to have sex scenes in films anyway?

Answer 1

Last Tango in Paris not sure that categorise as mainstream so it might be one of the early Bond Films.

Why the sex scenes are so important I am not sure but popular demand might be a reason just like the violence the worse it is the more tickets the film sells.

Bring back the days of less violence less sex .

Answer 2

Most of the time it is simulated but what most of the people answering don't know is that a few feature, (not porn) films did use real sex acts in their films. It's amazing how many incorrect answers you will get here. The Brown Bunny 2003 had the popular actress Chloë Sevigny preforming her own, VERY real sex acts. The following mainstream films have scenes with real sexual activity, meaning actors or actresses are filmed engaging in actual sexual intercourse or performing related sexual acts. These scenes have been confirmed either through on-screen evidence, or via the actors and actresses themselves in interviews.

Answer 3

I have no idea about the movie, but I m going to guess either a Valentino film from the 20's. Or maybe "The Postman Always Rings Twice" with Lana Turner.

People enjoy watching sex scenes. I know that I do. One of the very best has got to be "The Big Easy" or "Coming Home"

Answer 4

I don't particularly want sex scenes in the movies I watch but I don't object to them on the whole. Sex is part of life. In fact, without it there would be no life.

Answer 5

Deep Throat

Answer 6

In terms of the mainstream motion pictures. . .
Deep Thorat was one of the first with graphic sex scenes. . .considered Hard-Core "Porn Chic" for the Mainstream

Deep Throat (1973), the first successful hard-core pornographic film seen by mainstream America was the most profitable and widely-played hard-core sex film in history. Heavily prosecuted in the courts, its mildly-humorous tale was about an unsatisfied woman (Linda Lovelace, the first porn superstar) until the discovery that her clitoris was located deep in her throat. Its tagline asked: "How Far Does a Girl Have to Go to Untangle Her Tingle?"

Other groundbreaking films at the time included the Mitchell Brothers' Behind the Green Door (1972) (starring fresh-faced 'Ivory Snow Girl' Marilyn Chambers), Gerard Damiano's sexually-explicit The Devil in Miss Jones (1974) (starring Georgina Spelvin), Radley Metzger's (Henry Paris) highly-regarded 'My Fair Lady' take-off - The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1975), female director Sharon McKnight's classic Autobiography of a Flea (1976), and Debbie Does Dallas (1978). All of these films were regarded as 'legitimate' with movie-goers. They broke box-office records, and scored a record number of lawsuits.

There was also a long series of relatively tasteful soft-core Emmanuelle (1974-) films - the first soft-core films to be phenomenally-successful at the box-office. They included uninhibited sexual adventures beautifully photographed in exotic locales (e.g., Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Bali). The best were the first two soft-core films with the young, sexually-audacious, red-headed Dutch model Sylvia Kristel:

Emmanuelle (1974) (also with respected French co-star Alain Cluny)
Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman (1975) (aka Emmanuelle 2)
In fact, respectability was attempted by having Oscar-nominated (for Truffaut's Oscar-winning Best Foreign Film Day for Night (1973)) screenwriter Jean-Louis Richard provide the first film's script. The original series was tremendously popular, and inspired many imitations.

Penthouse Magazine's publisher Bob Guccione co-produced and Gore Vidal co-wrote the hard-core and decadent X-rated Caligula (1979) about evil Roman Emperor Caligula Caesar, with such well-known, mainstream stars as Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Helen Mirren, and Malcolm McDowell. The poorly-received, infamous film (that was denounced by its own stars) provided sexually-explicit views of life in Rome with scenes of incest, rape, bestiality, necrophilia, and sado-masochism, and in spite of itself became the highest-grossing independent production in the US up to that time.

I believe sex is used to entice the viewer. . .not to mention: "Sex sells."
