    Violence and action do drive plot. They can build character and be narratively cathartic. Sex in movies does not do that because sex is a subjective experience between two people.

      As a fan of Greek mythology - if you don’t think sex can drive a plot you need to read more stories.

        Valid. Though it’s more the effect of sex that drives the plot, not the performance itself.
