Release dates and platforms are subject to change and reflect the latest information as of deadline. They could absolutely get away with a similar straight sex scene to the gay one, but so far there hasn't been any reason to have one.Here is a select list of noteworthy films scheduled this summer. I'm personally very glad that they're using sex scenes in a way that develops the characters and the plot and not just for the sake of having a sex scene or trying to fill some idiotic quota between straight and gay sex, as if the difference even fucking matters outside of a few ignorant people's hang-ups about homosexuality. It was absolutely informative to show the sex scene, since it played directly into the plot as the aftermath was his opportunity to root Anwar's phone. Whereas with Tyrell, the scene was framed to highlight his dominance, his coldness, and his ruthlessness. Showing the sex would have detracted from that point. Also, the story comes first: It would've been stupid to show the straight sex given the scene, because the point was not the sex, the point was that Elliot does things on drugs that he wouldn't normally do.
Too early to be all "why no straight sex?".
