So let’s see what movies get wrong about getting freaky in the bedroom. How many of these myths managed to fool you?
1. Sexy Strip Teases Instead Of Awkward Struggles

The most common lie is how everybody just smoothly shreds their clothes before they do the deed. Some even manage to make it look like sexy strip teases. It’s not! It’s a lot of fumbling around and struggling to get out of your skinny jeans!
2. No Need For Foreplay

Hollywood fooled so many of us into thinking you didn’t need foreplay before penetrative sex. They just do some kissing, maybe some passionate door-slamming, and then BAM! It’s intercourse time. In real life, it takes a lot of foreplay before anything can ram up there.
3. Sex Is Always Good And Passionate

The movie always makes the whole thing look so easy and passionate. Characters meet each other at a bar or something and then everything suddenly clicks. They come home and get freaky without a single hitch. The guy throws the girl on the bed and crawls on top of her and things get steamy.
Oh, and don’t forget about all the scenes where they crash into things throughout the house. Gotta make sure the scenes loom passionate enough. Who cares about the painful cleaning up afterward?
4. Morning Breath? What Morning Breath?

Morning breath is just a myth in movies. Lovers just wake up and kiss each other like there is no stink before they brush their teeth. In real life, morning breath is real and if your partner can kiss you through it then congratulation, you just found true love.
5. Bra Stays On, ALWAYS

So many movies have the girl keep their bras on during the bedroom scenes. It rarely happens that way in real life. Guess nipples are too scandalous for the big screen.
6. And So Does The Sheet

Intercourse is hot, literally. Your body temperature goes up and it can get pretty sweaty really fast. Yet somehow almost all movie bedroom scenes happen under the sheet, where is extremely hot and claustrophobic. And you can bet that after the deed is done, the sheet will perfectly cover up the man's privates and the woman's boobs.
7. Ridiculous Positions That Always Work

The girl is always flexible enough and the guy is always strong enough to make the most ridiculous positions work. In reality, things are a lot more awkward and a lot less seamless. Chances are you’re gonna have a leg cramp before you’re turned on.
8. Shower S*x Is Really Hot

Instead of some steamy scenes, reality presents us with a series of slippery and awkward moments that are quite dangerous if you decide to get freaky in the bathroom. It’s very easy to slip and break your leg, and you certainly won’t look as pretty as the actresses in the movies afterward.
9. And So Does Water S*x

Remember, water washes away all the natural lubricant. Any other type of lubricant will just dirty the water. Good luck with having an enjoyable time with your partner in the pool or the lake.
10. And The Tabletop

The movies make the tabletop looks so sexy and comfortable to get freaky on it, especially romcoms. It’s not. It’s cold and hard and throwing your partner on it will only hurt them.
11. And The Car

Unless it happens in an SUV-type vehicle, the whole sexy thing is extremely uncomfortable in a regular car. Instead of hot and steamy, it’s just claustrophobic and involved a lot of awkward maneuvering.
12. Women Always Wear A Sheet After

After they do the deed, the ladies will wrap themselves up in an elegant toga that is made out of the whole bed sheet. Who has the energy to do that? And besides, isn’t the bed sheet kinda dirty after they do it?
13. Or Her Lover’s Oversize Shirt

Another quite popular option aside from the sheet is the guy's button-down shirt. The more oversize the better.
14. Nothing Is Worse Than Being A Virgin

The movies make being a virgin is like the worst thing in the world. “Virgin” is thrown around like an insult and everybody is just willing to do anything to get their V-card taken. In real life, nobody cares if you’re a virgin or not, especially people in high school.
15. People In High School Are Casually Doing It

Speaking of high schools, it looks like everybody in high school is casually doing the deed on the regular, and everything is cool. Sure some teenagers are doing it, but nowhere as casual as the movies made out.
16. Makeup Stays Flawless

The women always wake up flawless with their makeup perfectly applied on their face post-coitus. How!? What kind of sorcery is this!?
17. Women Never Pee After

In movie bedroom scenes, we rarely see the girl goes to the bathroom to pee afterward. UTIs apparently do not exist or something.
18. They Get To Finish At THE SAME TIME

And the biggest lie of them all: Both people get to finish at the same time! The chance of this happens in real life is super low. Like, really, really low.
So those were some annoying clichés in movie bedroom scenes that rarely, if ever, happen in real life. However, as we said before, movies are full of unrealistic clichés. They just make things that nobody does in real life look so normal! Are there any other clichés you like to share?
