Isn't that the truth. In fact, it's generally an interruption of a plot that would be more smooth without it.

My wife and I previewed Leap of Faith staring Steve Martin a number of years ago. In the previewed version there was a sex scene. After the viewing we were asked to give our views. I stood up and said the sex scene really added nothing to the movie and it would be better off without it. A number of other agreed. It was cut.

The obligatory "roll in the hay" scene in almost every movie is a big pet peeve of mine. They seldom do anything whatsoever to advance the plot. They are so interchangeable you could generally intercut one from a different movie and nobody would notice.

Good for you! Now, if only more would.
