Rob Lowe recently discussed the decline of sex scenes in Hollywood with Kristin Davis on his podcast 'Literally!'. He noted that such scenes are now rare, contrasting past norms where they were essential to storytelling, as evidenced by the 'page 73 rule'. Davis echoed this observation, underscoring a shift in how such scenes are viewed, often as acts of bravery. However, Lowe highlighted the need for adaptation and innovation in the current filmmaking landscape, reflecting on changes since his earlier roles, including his work with Kim Cattrall in 'Masquerade'.
Nobody has sex scenes in movies anymore. I take it back, though, because 'Babygirl' is great and pretty hot. It's unusual now to see sex scenes.
In our day, having a sex scene was required—there was a page 73 rule. Now it's considered brave when an actress does it.
Things have changed so much in filmmaking. My attitude is to make the most of it in disruption—it's actually a great time to build new things.
Kim Cattrall and I did a movie called Masquerade together; it’s one of the movies I love, and it pushed boundaries for its time.
