How does everyone feel about that? Like, say you’re watching a movie and some nudity comes on screen or a couple having sex etc, what do you guys do? Does it get awkward? Does someone forward it or it’s not a big deal since everyone is adults?
As for me, I don’t think it’s a big deal, especially if it’s not explicit (and if you’re watching a movie, most likely it wont be too explicit due to censorship and all. However, porn would obviously have explicit content and that for me is OUT OF THE QUESTION and thank god my guy is quite modest and finds porn pathetic), that being said, a little nudity/sexual content isn’t a big deal, IMO.
And I’m not talking on an Islamic level, just what everyone is comfortable with. I’m comfortable with it (dont wanna make it sound like I encourage it!) and it being natural stuff such as a human body or sex definitely lessens its severity. Another reason is because he keeps me VERY secure about myself and that definitely lessens the awkwardness that could potentially kick in if I felt like the world would come to an end if he happened to see some nudity while we’re watching the movie.

We're not too bothered, if it's going on for a while we might switch over for a minute. Anyone watched 'The girl with the dragon tatoo?' The rape scene was horrific, we kept hiding behind our hands a praying it would hurry up and finish.

Exactly! No need to watch it if it carries on and becomes OTT. And yes, that scene was horrific and quite graphic.
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Just reminded me of something, remember those old indian films where the baddi would rape a girl in the middle of the village, infornt of everyone, wasnt that a bit sick, then i didnt understand it, and it got forwarded anyway, but thinking now how vulgar is that.
about watching the scenes, i actually start laughing
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?

Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Whats wrong in watching such scenes with the husband? I mean my friends and I are looking forward to be able to watch full movie without forwarding the scenes which we have to forward when watching with our siblings and family. Well, I don’t know what will be my reaction until I will have to face such situation after marriage, of course, but…
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
I cant remember a single movie where a sex scene/nude scene came and it had a justification. I dont know why they add such scenes in otherwise good movies. Like in case of 'Wanted' I dont know what was the need of couple of semi nude scenes.
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
We usually just look at each other and roll eyes and make some comment like, "ummm, what's the need of this..." But yeah, funny as it sounds, I think it's a little weird seeing other people do stuff.

And I'm not talking on an Islamic level, just what everyone is comfortable with.

In case your question was also directed to Muslims.

Muslims are not allowed by Allah (swt) to have a level other than an Islamic level. A Muslim doesn't twists his opinion for the comfort of everyone. HE should be comfortable with what Allah (swt) is comfortable with, that is not to watch what is forbidden, no matter if one is alone or with one's spouse.
Muslims can't become non-Muslims for few minutes, have their personal comfortable opinion, and then back to Muslim lifestyle. My personal opinion (against Allah's opinion) isn't allowed once I say Kalima. (Not even in a general discussion, not even in a joke).
I might have said many wrong things. In that case, may Allah (swt) forgive me. Allah (swt) knows Best!
