You can use any measuring stick you like. Gross, badly acted, made you feel uncomfortable, etc. I am going with: Marisa Tomei and Phillip Seymore Hoffman in “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”. I absolutely ADORE Marisa Tomei, and have wanted to see her naked since “My Cousin Vinnie”. Marisa Tomei, naked, doing it doggy style. A fantasy come true! And who’s ramming her from behind? A fat, disgusting, pig of an actor. Not only is PSH one of my least favorite actors, (and I’m not convinced that he is straight, which makes the whole thing worse), his fat, sweaty tub-of-goo body was ramming my former cinematic fantasy girl from behind. Oh, the humanity! As much as I liked seeing Marisa naked, I can’t watch the movie again. I think in this case, I would have rather never seen her naked and just had the memory of her in those fabulous outfits in “My Cousin Vinnie”. \ ---

I vote for Halle “You make me feel goooood” Berry and known weird-lookin’ dude Billy Bob Thornton in _Monster’s Ball_ ---

Sounds like the OP really, really, REALLY needs to get to the theater and see **The Wrestler** right now. Lots of top quality Marisa Tomei nakedness. Marisa Tomei pole dancing. Marisa Tomei giving a lap dance. Marisa Tomei’s nipple rings. ---

**Showgirls** for the hot tub scene - someone apparently dropped a toaster in there that only affected Elizabeth Berkley. ---

I’ve got one a lot of people haven’t heard of, but it’s supposed to be creepy so I really wouldn’t count it. However, if you want to see sex scenes that really make you want to take a shower and scrub your eyes, see [Tokyo Decadence](http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0105622/). Another foreign flick, [Zero Woman](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292380/) is a very strange movie I rented because it was supposed to be about a female assassain who befriends a murderer. Plus it had the silliest tagline ever “_She’ll kiss you deadly_”. There’s a winning formula, right? No, it’s basically a plotless movie about this woman going places and having sex with people for no reason. In offices and rainy alleys, with people who seemed to be connected with the plot in some way which they forgot to tell the audience. That is misleading, because there is no plot. But if there were, these people seemed like they would have been involved in it. More familiar: the sex scene in Crank, where he bends his girl over in public in order to get his heart rate up to combat the poison in his system, is insanely stupid. Not just the premise, but the act itself seems to be from the imagination of a 10 year old boy who just found out the mechanics of sex and thinks this must be what the act itself must be like. The sex scene in Showgirls just confused me. I wasn’t sure if it was a sex scene because I can’t imagine anyone has ever had sex like that since sex was invented. ---

I can see not wanting to see PSH naked, but he’s one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. Certainly in a different league than Marisa Tomei. ---

> [@Cerowyn](#): > > Well, they both have Academy Awards… Yes, but Philip Seymour Hoffman earned his for good acting throughout an entire film, not one memorable, though in no way quotable nor emotionally stirring scene. If we separate _rape_ scenes from sex scenes, there’s a lot less ground to cover, IMO. There are some unappealing looking people having sex in film, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Keeping rape scenes in the equation, my vote would go to Robert Duvall rutting away on top of Natasha Richardson while Faye Dunaway holds her down in _The Handmaid’s Tale_. Harrowing and nasty. ---

Not a sex scene per se, but a parody of sexy scenes: the kissing scene between Mia Kirshner and Beverly Polcyn in _Not Another Teen Movie_. A funny parody of the girl/girl scenes in movies like the Cruel Intentions series, but really unerotic in its own right. The DVD has an easter egg featuring all of the takes of the scene; the two women had a syrupy goo in their mouths to increase the stringiness of their saliva, and in at least one scene Ms. Polcyn’s dentures fall out as the kiss ends… ---

Bloodrayne has an awful, terrible, awkward sex scene in it between Kristanna Loken and her love interest. Of course, it’s directed by Uwe Bolle. Saying he makes bad movies is like saying “Hey, I don’t think I like breathing mustard gas.” ---

Tommy Wiseau and Juliette Danielle in [The Room](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368226/). Mind-numbingly horrifying, and there are several of them. People get up and walk out of the theater for the second one, it’s so distasteful. ---

Um, _ **Deliverance** _? Not because it was gay sex, not because it was a rape scene; it’s just that it was so gawdawful. It’s almost certainly the only sex scene in movie history that ends with an arrow through someone’s chest _and_ we’re supposed to think that that’s redeeming. :rolleyes: [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/worst-sex-scene-of-all-time-r-rated-movies/483797.md?page=2)
