Henry Cavill has joined the discourse surrounding a particularly controversial topic sex scenes in film and TV.

The actor unfavorably weighed in on the topic after filmmaker Matthew Vaughn brought it up during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast that was released Monday.

I also dont understand them, Im not a fan, Cavill said. I think there are circumstances where a sex scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience. But I think sometimes theyre overused these days.

Youre going, Is this really necessary or is it people just with less clothing on? he added. And thats where you start to get more uncomfortable. Youre thinking, Theres not a performance here which is going to carry through into the rest of the movie.

Although Cavill ultimately agreed that sex scenes can be great and really help with the storytelling, he said he still prefers a less-is-more approach when it comes to them.

Most of the time the human imagination is going to trump it, he said. So it can be a little bit of a cop out if a TV show or a movie is just filled with gyrating bodies and youre going, OK, but what is this doing for us apart from the idea of, oh, naked person, great.
