the US MPAA ratings board hates movies where women are shown having pleasure. since that is the basic premise of this movie-R (lucky it wasn't nc-17!)
basically it breaks down like this:
Women getting pleasure is bad!
Gay people having sex in ANY arrangement is bad!
Comedic “boys being boys” get away with anything. Aren’t they charming.
Horror movies where women get their breasts ripped off is ok,
but showing pubic hair is bad.
Women depicted as real is bad;
women disembodied, bloody and helpless is good.
What is acceptable: Men engaging in violent acts, antiseptic play-violence that doesn’t account for the bloody casualties, sexualized violence against women and women fetishistically wielding violent instruments.
What is unacceptable: The repercussions of violence, sex with an emphasis on sexual women, homosexual sex, pleasure.

Oh, I agree, i still think the ratings are ridiculous and sexist.
though actually it will effect the marketing/release of a movie if it is R or NC-17 (especially nc-17; it may not even go into wide release!)

Wait sexist towards guys or girls because the ratings system shows more respect for the female body than the male body. Also way more guys die in movies than girls overall.

How is the female body respected more? Hollywood is more comfortable showing the female body, compared to male. Is that respectful towards women more, cause I think it's a double standard.

Most people in the US don't even care about the rating
This from the country that went in to meltdown because a pasty-covered nipple was shown during a football match!

Only the "moral right" cared. They happen to be pretty loud though.

"Horror movies where women get their breasts ripped off is ok,"
Name me one movie like this that is rated less than R, or retract that BS.
