Why they show more sex in American movies than Indian movies

October 1996
In India people do not show affection in public. It is not supposed to be acceptable social behaviour. So in the movies if they just show the hero holding the heroines hand and the heroine lets him, that is enough to tell the audience that they accept each other. Whereas in US where showing affection in public by kissing or embracing is natural, the only way it can be shown on screen that two people like and accept each other is by showing something they wouldn't have otherwise done i.e. have sex.

Of course there is always the more plausible reason that they want to sell more tickets ;-)
