Brickfilm Sex?

One major thing that seems to be frowned upon by brickfilmers (Lego/brick animators) seems to be sexual content of any kind in peoples brickfilms, I mean, you can see why, LEGO is generally a childrens toy and it should not be exploited in this way, but if your film needs it, and it is relevant to the story, what is their problem?

An example of irrelevant use of sex in brickfilming, or as some people call it, "Lego Porn" on youtube is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ4bqsMeSNc

This video seems to include two minifigs, in complete yellow (to show they are naked, however you are incapable of seeing much detailed anatomy on lego hehe), performing many crude movements in the need to simulate sex, however I personally find this kind of scene rather funny, as the sounds are usually really cheesy like they have been ripped off some crap porno, and as one of the comments said "Those step sounds are from counter strike". This film was blatantly made in order to rack in the views, as it has achieved 400000 views almost, so the maker has successfully done this.

My new film seems to have got alot of bad feedback because of the content, but I thought it was relevant, but maybe it should have been more subtle:

If sex scenes are incorporated into brickfilms accordingly, they can be higly effective and establish a deep bond between the characters, to make it seem more realistic, which is something that brickfilms lack these days, realism.

So think next time, don't go adding some random sex scene into your film, as it often gets lots of bad comments from critics and you aren't doing yourself much justice. If you are going to add a sex scene, make it relevant and worthwhile to help the plot move forward. I have made this mistake in one of my recent films, "Life's Interventions" where I included a very basic sex scene, this was not taken well by some people even though I did have a content warning.
