I can get behind this. I can't even remember the last time I saw a sex scene in a movie that needed to be there - it just makes for an awkward moment.
If I wanted to see a sex scene, I'd just watch porn, not a movie where other stuff is meant to be happening.
I think the one in Blade Runner 2049 did a lot for the character of Joi in particular. But it's about the only example I can think of just now
Don Jon (2013) is about a porn addict, so having some sex scenes made sense there.
A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) has a few sex scenes which are hilarious, and they really fit the vibe of the movie.
Alternatively some of the porns that have other shit happening are pretty decent.
