personally i think its pointless to have it in any movie (horror, comedy, action, etc.) except porn, its not scary, its not usually funny so whats the point? and i agree with bloodrayne if stephen king can keep it clean than i think everyone else could to, his movies get along pretty good w/o all the ass and boobs you would see in most horror movies. you dont need sex to make money. i think horror movies would be scarrier and better if the directors would focus on the scary shit and not on the sex. but if you can make it fit the type of movie (i.e. make it funny or scarry) than throw it in, but it mostly takes away from the movie in any genre if u ask me.

I agree with teenagezombie, it takes away from the real story if you have too much, especially a really over-the-top sex scene in any movie, unless of course it's a movie ABOUT sex (and again, why are people so taken up with that??).
If it's really graphic, (such as Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton in "Monsters Ball"), then you might get so focused on the sexual aspect that you don't get properly engrossed in the STORY itself. I thought that movie rather sucked, but then I realized I didn't really focus on what the story was about, I was to distracted/disgusted by that scene. When the movie ended, I found myself thinking "What, what? What happened?" Someone told me later what the story was and I realized it was probably better than I gave it credit for.

I think sex can be an integral part to setting up the suspense and atmosphere of a film.
You only have to look at "last house on the left" or "strawdogs" to see this and se how effectively this works. However sex is used in 90% of films just to make a $, sex is a powerful marketing and money making tool so directors use it to either gain more hype or promotion or to just get some extras bums in seats.
