I just feel like I’m intruding on a private moment and just sit there tense and embarrassed until it’s over. Trying not to listen to the schlorp schlorp noises.

But it’s such a common trope, I so assume I’m in some weird minority.

Does anyone find it enjoyable to watch? If so, why and how?

    Very rarely. Physical intimacy in movies or TV is like a strong seasoning. In the right place, it can accentuate the flavor and bring it to another level. Otherwise, you’re just adding curry powder to a cherry danish.

      The only time it works, is when it’s earned. The characters’ love finally triumphing after all the obstacles thrown at them is the only way I actually enjoy it.
