As we started to show it to audiences, we felt it takes you out of the movie. You’re engaged in the characters and what’s going on, and then you pan over and there’s two naked people having sex, and you watch the audience … it’s a physical thing. They turn to who they’re with and … the benefits do not nearly outweigh the negatives of it. So we just kept editing it out until we got a balance, and those comments went away.

So the test audiences enjoyed the movie about sex, but only if you couldn't see the sex. Sounds like terrible test audiences.

Perfect test audience for Skinemax style softcore porn. It's porn, but without the good parts.
