The “Rape of the Christ” in The Devils (Ken Russell, 1971)Ī film so controversial that it’s still very difficult to see it in its (existing) entirety, Ken Russell’s The Devils initially had such blasphemous sequences as the infamous “Rape of Christ,” which features possessed nuns masturbating with crucifixes and effigies of Jesus. Department of the Treasury, Adolph Hitler and Pope Pius XII were partly due to Lamarr’s infamous non-sexual nude scene, but the close-ups on the actress’ face as she expresses sexual pleasure were certainly as objectionable, if not more so, for the time. Censorship, bans and denouncements of the film from the U.S.
This notorious Czechoslovakian production wasn’t the first non-pornographic film to depict sexual intercourse, but it is considered the first theatrically released movie to feature an actress (Hedy Lamarr, in her star-making role) simulating an orgasm onscreen.

Besides the fact that many readers will argue that such scenes are not rightly labeled “sex scenes,” there’s also the matter that too many films feature gratuitous rape scenes, and most of the time these are met with criticism. One disclaimer must be made, because we’re sure commenters will jump in otherwise asking why A Clockwork Orange and other films with controversial rape scenes have not been included. Many of them have merits and memorability outside of their “upsetting” depictions of a sexual act, though many of their objectors wouldn’t know since they never actually saw the films themselves. Whether groundbreaking for their time or still questionable today, these scenes could probably have been included in our past highlights of films sold on a sex scene and films remembered primarily for a sex scene. Actress Bonnie Bedelia was willing to do steamy scenes but she still shied away from explicit nudity.Due to the criticism and controversy of an alleged date-rape scene in Observe and Report, we bring you yet another list of sex scenes, this one focused on cinematic moments that stirred protest, censorship, bans and boycotts. There's an underground parking garage scene where Martin sits judge Gwen on a barrel or box then and then we hear a ripping sound as if he was opening up her pantyhose.
The lovely cougar Judge Gwen Warwick (Bonnie Bedelia in full bloom mature beauty around age 44 or 45) in this movie likes to wear black tights (pantyhose) probably because it is a conservative look and the movie was filmed in 1993 when hosiery was still commonly used by women. Too many minors reading so we can't be too explicit here.
What you meant to write was that he was applying c-s to her *beep*. Oh, by the way, Martin doesn't give her a bj. Now that's cool, if you're a man reading this. If so, it's obvious that the tights were her only underwear. I'm pretty sure virile law clerk, Martin (Billy Wirth) was pulling down judge Gwen's (Bonnie Bedelia) black pantyhose tights and not thigh highs. Now that's unprofessional for the director to string us along teasingly and then don't show us more. I had a hard time seeing what was going on. Unprofessional? The only thing unprofessional is that the director didn't show more action and it was too dark underneath the desk.
