But the Oscar nominee has a bone to pick with modern media when it comes to sex scenes and nudity, mainly that it has all become too “blatant” and “harsh” on screen. Stone now turns off sex scenes when they happen because they no longer leave anything to the imagination. “It wasn’t even an entire frame of film,” Stone said of her infamous nude scene in 1992’s “Basic Instinct,” which ignited a media firestorm. “And, so, people were desperately trying to figure it out. And I think that idea of, ‘Oh my God.’ This hope, this wonder, this mystery, this intrigue, this yearning is something that is what all of our profound sexuality is based in.” Popular on Variety Related Stories Chalamet or Jordan?
