I love you, David.  Of course, what's most exasperating about this is you *know* those dumbass mules (my new favorite description of them) haven't even seen it, so they're only assuming it's graphic.  Having seen it, the only sex you could call overly graphic is that between Ennis and ALMA.   ::)

I personally don't think there are sexually explicit scenes in Brokeback Mountain. Not even when both Ennis and Jack have sex with their respectives wives. The first tent scene is probably the most graphic sex scene in the entire movie and Jake is fully clothed.

Perhaps I'm too used to see European movies. Almodovar shows a lot more in his movies and so does Vicente Aranda. Almodovar's The Bad Education, La ley del deseo (Law of desire), and Kika; and Aranda's Tirant Lo Blanc or Carmen are a few examples of movies with truly graphic sex scenes.

I'm with you, Opinionista.  I don't really think any of the sex scenes are that graphic at all.  It's all almost entirely implied.  The only difference between the sex between the men and that between the men and the women is that the women are topless, whereas we really don't see any private parts of the men.

Again, I think this is a crock of shite.  No way did these guys even see the movie - if they did, they'd know that was a bogus excuse.
