Sex on film is nothing new, and yet unsimulated intercourse in non-pornographic movies has raised eyebrows and drawn eyeballs for decades. I just went with what they wanted to do. The depiction of unsimulated sex on screen has taken many forms across decades, continents, and political landscapes.
At the same time, looking at the films that do dare to showcase unsimulated sex offers a fascinating window into the way standards of sensuality onscreen have evolved, and how the culture has shifted and reacted to the use of sex in art. Entries are listed in chronological order. But, we never see the partner performing the sex, causing some debate whether or not the film is capturing real sex or if Bookwalter is merely acting. Focusing on the relationship between a hedonistic boy and a submissive girl, the film has an anti-pornographic message, featuring several scenes where the boy exposes his girlfriend to explicit films, the content of which is shown to the viewer.
The inclusion of these scenes prompted controversy and censorship over the film in its home country. In America, the film was heavily censored and the sexual content was edited out of its theatrical release. The film is most well known for its ending scene, a minute graphic scene between Akerman and Claire Wauthion and one of the first explicit lesbian sex scenes in history.
The film starring Helen Mirren includes necrophiliac incest, which is thankfully simulated. But the montage of sex scenes is very much so unsimulated, thanks to Penthouse founder Bob Guccione serving as a producer on the film. State and federal claims against the film for being obscene went to the Supreme Court. The first story with Margherita has an unsimulated intercourse scene.
The film features a lot of nudity, with some pornographic material intercut throughout. The film includes considerable nudity and extended masturbation scenes.
