Sex in Recent Music Videos
Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at 9:00PM For The Lusty Month of May, we're looking at sex scene each night. Here's Sebastian...
While there is obviously plenty of great sex to be found in film and on TV, another medium has jumped forward lately in interesting and innovative portrayals of the act: the music video. There have always been noteworthy music videos, but ever since YouTube and other video platforms liberated the form from the restrictive environments of MTV and its descendants, there's been a renaissance of sorts.
After the jump three videos (increasingly NSFW) with fascinating approaches towards filmed sex.
