Henry Cavill isn’t fond of s*x scenes. He feels that it’s often better for TV shows or movies to skip showing them because viewers’ imaginations are strong enough to fill in the gaps.

Henry Cavill Detests S*x Scenes in Films
Henry Cavill said in an interview on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast with hisArgylledirector,Matthew Vaughn, that sometimes s*x scenes can make movies better, but most of the time, it’s better to let people imagine things.
He thinks just showing naked bodies moving around doesn’t add much to the story after the surprise of seeing nudity wears off.The Man of Steelstar explained his perspective in more detail, saying:
“I don’t understand them – I’m not a fan.There are circumstances where a s*x scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience, but I think sometimes they’re overused these days. It’s when you have a sense where you’re going, ‘Is this really necessary or is it just people with less clothing on?’” he continued. “And that’s when you start to get more uncomfortable and you’re thinking, ‘There’s not a performance here. There’s not a piece which is going to carry through to the rest of the movie’.”
This came after he experienced a very embarrassing moment—he got an erection at an inopportune time, while filming a s*x scene.
