It was probably, to a writer and producer, a great addition to the script, but for "Christian" couples, it wasn't necessary and didn't, necessarily, add anything to the exciting story line. And if men are visual, did your husband think about what she may look like under her long hair? AND, why didn't Antonio get to be naked as well? Why only Catherine? A little disappointing for the female audience!

I agree with this too. There are some that have insatiable drives or some that are into porn and it's like a drug......it takes more and different kind to be satisfied. That can cause the unfaithfulness too.

Yes, or an emotional need wasn't being filled.

Definitely! That's why it isn't safe to assume that anytime a person cheats, the spouse must be somehow at fault.

Re: Sex Scenes

I guess it depends on the situation for me. Is the scene between a husband and wife, and is it relevant to the story (and is the story itself good). While I wouldn't watch XXX, a sensual scene in a good story doesn't bother me. Also, if I'm watching a movie it's usually with my husband, so...

I agree with what someone else said (too lazy to go back and find the quote, think it was Baron) about nudity in a movie like Schindler's List being different from the nudity in Striptease.

When it comes to what I allow my child to watch... that's a MUCH different story. lol

Edited to add: I haven't read all the replies, I was responding to the first post. heh

Ahh, the catch-22.

He isn't emotionally attentive because there is no sex.
She isn't physically attentive because there is no emotional intimacy.

I think God may have been playing a joke when he wired us...
