crappy sex scenes

some of the written comments mentioned crappy sex scenes and and I first thought they were written by prudes or by people looking for sex... But it turns out, the sex scenes were really really crappily done. I mean the guys just lay on the girls and play dead. Dang, that was 1971, people were doing normal sex scenes back then, even if they didn't show skin, they at least could show some passion and emotion. These scenes were just terrible. Plenty of skin, no doubt about it, but complete lack of emotion.

The sex scenes were supposed to be bad. They were inexperienced kids.

It's that man again!!

I can assure you that at that age, I was having happy vibrant sex. Age has nothing to do with it.

There is nothing realistic about the sex scenes. In every one, the guy lays on top of the woman and immediately, no hands, no time for natural lubrication, slips it inside her. This does not happen in actual life. Great movie, though.
