I wasn't offended so much as I was simply bored. The first hour+ of the movie establishes that they are horny teenagers who don't have the sexual prowess the think they do I think this could have been well communicated in at least half that time. I found this part of the film (i.e. most of the film) interminable and I nearly stopped watching.

I loved the sexual hints around the film
like in the morning after the three-way, when Juliu and Tenoch were sleeping in the same bed naked there was a long shot of a couple of roostes ("two cocks")
I lol'd so hard -

I can never understand the lurid and somewhat hysterical attention paid to any nudity or sex in films. So she has sex with both of them? So they kiss and have sex with one another? Big deal. In the meantime other important themes and features in the film pass without comment.

I think it's silly to be so offended, and I didn't even think the scenes were THAT explicit. On the other hand, I don't think those scenes were as "essential" as some are claiming.

And there is a CUT and an UNCUT version
I laughed, though I know it's probably not intentional.
Seriously, I don't mind a few sex scenes, as long as my family isn't watching with me, 'cause then it gets uncomfortable.

They actually DID bother me, and I think that was part of the point. Cuaron didn't want to sugarcoat anything he wanted the audience to feel what the characters felt, and get caught up in the insane passion of being young and dumb. The sex scenes had that effect on me. At the same time as I felt a little weird watching those scenes, part of me got caught up in it. It reminded me of what it was like to be a teenager myself, when sex was this brand new glorious experience that dwarfed all of life in comparison.

Every time I see something written or talked about with this film I just wait for them to go on about all the sex in it and only focus on that. It aggravates me every time haha, because I feel like people are missing the point and the other great stuff in the movie. You shouldn't ignore the sex in the film, it's one of its biggest themes after all, but people certainly seem to concentrate too much on it being, "salacious," or some such crap like that.
The film has, what? 5 actual sex scenes and I'd say all, but the last aren't good ones in terms of being anything remotely sexy because all the others are conveying to you how inexperienced and full of sh!t the boys are with the final one showing a bit of what they've learned along the way. They aren't there for gratuity or cheapness, they have a reason to them and serve the narrative, there's nothing lurid to me about that.
The movie has much more going for it besides two dudes that kiss each other, ya know? And yet that's mostly what it seems to have become known for, which whatever, if that's what gets the eyeballs (and I don't blame them, of course), but it's just like get over it already.or go watch a Disney movie
p.s. I always forget there is a cut and uncut version. Can anyone tell me what's in the uncut because I'm not sure if that's the one I've seen or not. I watch this off of Netflix and I tried looking it up, but can't seem to find anything detailing what the cut version actually cut.
