Quentin Tarantino is renowned for his unique and controversial style of filmmaking, known for his gritty violence, witty dialogue, and eclectic references. However, there's one aspect of human experience that seems to be notably absent from his films: sex.

Despite the presence of other taboo themes, Tarantino's films often lack explicit depictions of sexual intimacy, leaving audiences to wonder why this aspect of human connection is seemingly overlooked in his cinematic universe.

The filmmaker talked about the lack of nudity and sex in his movies while speaking to reporter Diari ARA. He said, “It’s true, sex is not part of my vision of cinema,”

Tarantino elaborated, saying, “And the truth is that, in real life, it’s a pain to shoot sex scenes, everyone is very tense. And if it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so. If there had ever been a sex scene that was essential to the story, I would have, but so far it hasn’t been necessary.”

This is honestly very interesting coming from a guy who seems to have nothing off-limits in his storytelling.

I think before everyone overreacts, Tarantino means that in his films, there hasn't been a time where sex has advanced the plot. So, this is not a rule across all films that he's set. 

Let me know what you think in the comments.
