You need to understand that 80% of the population is average intelligent or dumb (but to post a comment on the internet doesn’t require above average intelligence, …). The remaining 20% knows that an explicit sex scene is just a marketing tool to sell the movie. Let’s not even mention when the scene is real., even if is “only!” a bj!. It takes a special type of retard (especially the actresses who do it) to convince themselves that being taped while having sex has got anything to do with the making of a movie.  
…And this comes from me, someone who would do porn, but I like to remain intellectually honest and call things what they are and tell things how they are.
