6 Appropriately Awkward Sex Scenes

Valentine’s season has a way of emphasizing the nice, sweet parts of romantic relationships and glosses over the dirty, sloppy bits. Maybe that’s part of the point, to take a break from how lonely and alienated most people feel and just revel in the possibility that someone could actually know us and still like us despite this fact.

It’s not pretty.

And then it happens again. In a graveyard. With a ghost. It’s hilariously messed up, but is a pretty neatly handled contrast between the way sex with these action heroes plays out on screen and the way that, if we really want to be realistic, it probably actually would go down.
