Sexual violence has been rampant for a long time, there’s inequality between the sexes, there’s a lot of reasons we should be concerned with sexuality and want to explore it far more meaningfully than we have, but a sex scene is not doing that,” he says now. “Usually it’s there to titillate, and to say: ‘Ah, the thing you’ve been waiting to see, it’s finally happening.’” And, even then, he adds: “It’s just not the way sex happens, the falling against the wall and grasping at each other’s clothes, all this stuff. There’s no time for condoms, there’s no time for conversation. There’s no time for awkwardness, for real connection. It’s a narrow and simplistic way that we have done it so far, and I’m just not interested in that.
