Unnecessary sex scenes ruin family viewing

The movie is about the difference between sexual love and loveless sex, as well as the nature of erotica and its exploitation in pornography. These subjects can't be cinematically explored without some graphic content. If your boys aren't mature enough to understand that, then The Handmaiden is not for them.

Yeah!
Same thing with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
All that violence made it very inappropriate for family viewing.
I really wish they had gone another way with it.

It should be a given that a movie based on an erotic lesbian novel would contain some erotic scenes. A big theme throughout the film itself is eroticism in its many (strange) forms. Why leave out the actual deed in a movie that is filled with sexuality?
Furthermore, a lot of Park Chan Wook movies contain at least one erotic scene that will make you feel a bit uncomfortable watching it with anyone else (incest, forced oral sex, to name a few). Even when the person you're watching it with is an adult.
