Halx, I do believe that someday your dream will come true. But that day is probably at least another 10 r 20 years down the road. As I see it, what it will take is just one big name actress to be willing to cross that line. Also, a DAMNED good story will have to be the vehicle. Something that even people who hate porno can watch and say "yes, it was explicit sex, but it was such a good/important story".

This is something I have thought about before. And while I agree with whoever said that and X or NC17 rating usually spells box office doom, I think that in the right situation, it could make such a movie a blockbuster.

Consider: take a big name actess with a good reputation, such as a Nicole Kidman, or a Meg Ryan or a Helen Hunt. combine her with a great story that just so happens to involve explicit sex. make and release that movie and the lines will go around the block for days on end. The big problem though is this: how many really good stories can you think of that require explicit sex to tell the story. That is the problem with most porn and with sex on film in general. The act(s) of sex are mostly pretty dull in terms of advancing a plot. Basically, it comes down to this: do you really NEED to see penetration in order to understand (with regard to telling the story) that it took place?

dont get me wrong, I'd love to see explicit sex go mainstream. but as it would be a rare story that actually required it to be properly told, and as few producers, actors/actesses, and directors actually have enough balls to even attempt it, I dont see it happening soon.

and thats a bummer, big time. coz I'd LOVE to see Salma Hayek getting her turd cutter reamed out by say, Sean Michaels or Lex, followed by a big sloppy facial, of course.
