you know when you watch sexual scenes between couples in movies and they are filled with passion and the couple are all sweaty, having passionate sex, and then afterwards they are all nicely covered in bed sheets and just fall sleep real?
I mean every time we have sex it involves lots of cleaning afterwards andpretty much doing other things, plus my husband claims that is just in movies that people can have sex like that.
this may sound kind of personal so forgive me for asking, do you guys ever have the kind of sex where the guy just drops everything and has passionate sex and after wards they just lie in each other's arms?

what i'm trying to ask is, are sexual scenes in movies overdone?
have i just been shaped to expect alot out of sex, or is sex just a routine act that people do to balance their hormones?

i would really appreciate if someone answers this truthfully.

First off I have I have been fooled by Soap Opera "undying love", I watched Soaps all the time when I was little and have always expected love to be like that.

My significant other and I have different types of sex: sometimes it gets sweaty but that is when we are going harder than usual, and the best (to me atleast) we have what I would call passionate sex, we look in each others eyes, we talk mad love talk, we hold each other (during sex). No matter what kind of sex we have it usually involves grabbing a towel afterwards and wiping up and occasionally when we are both EXHAUSTED, we don't even get a towel, but it's not the cleanest. Maybe it depends on the person, cause I will have sex with my SO anytime, I've been dressed ready to walk out the door for work and take off my pants so we can have a quick bit of fun. My cousin used to say she hated morning sex because of the clean up. She would be irritiated by sex cause she felt she had to take a shower before and after.

Well, as I've posted before, my wife and I don't have sex often. When we do though, we often fall asleep (or at least doze) in each other's arms afterwards. We can wash ourselves and the sheets the next morning.

I've only been with one other woman (ages ago, before I was dating my wife), and we also made love and fell asleep in each other's arms. It was sort of movie-style she was as excited as I was and it was pretty wild. But we had nothing else in common and we parted on good terms. She is happily married now with a couple of kids - haven't heard from her in nearly ten years.

Right now, if my wife wanted, I'd drop everything and make love to her on the spot (or sofa or kitchen table or whatever else was handy), but she never asks.

I realized that my last post might have implied that I prefered sex with that long ago lover to my wife, which is absolutely not the case. I wish my wife were a bit more active / excited by sex, but it is still very very good (when it happens).

Sometimes we lay there holding each other for a long time before one of us gets up or falls asleep, other times we get cleaned up a bit then come back and hold each other.

In Movies, they go through so many takes to make it look just right and since they are not focused on their own sexual pleasure, the faces and sounds they make are theatrical, not primal like in true passionate sex. The sex I see performed in movies, I view it like a choreographed dance routine because that is basically what it is.

so i guess my husband is right on some stuff and that sex in movies IS exagerated.
thanx guys

as for you rcoreyus, you have nothing to worry about and forget about what anyone will think. Unfortunately i have not had any partner than my husband so i don't know what sex with another person is like, and you do. so be happy.

its just that my husband and I are very much in love like movies and makeout and cuddle sometimes but sex is never as passionate as movies, but i guess this thread made me realize that sex scenes are overdone and I shouldn't expect much.
I only wish that we would have sex more often, even though it can't be as passionate.

Loving someone who is not interested in sex often is a CURSE. It's like being at a buffet but being allergic to every item. HEHEHEH
