sex scene

Bedroom film moment

A sex scene is a depiction of sexual activity in a film, television show, novel, or other narrative work.

Sex scenes range from brief and suggestive to explicit and prolonged: The movie's sex scene felt gratuitous.

In film criticism, discussions often focus on whether sex scenes serve the story or exist merely for titillation.
