Is it possible to watch a film with sex scene without sinning?Or to see a women in a bikini without sin?I am not talking about pornography.I just think someone Will sin while others wont.
It depends on temptations,someone is weaker and someone is stronger.

But in generally can you watch a picture of women in bikini without sinning.
I am just curios on your opinions.

What if you watch it without lust?

It is a prudential matter.

For me, I find sex scenes rather dull and fake. For someone else they are a near occasion of sin.
 
That means this is something that is specific to an individual.

Like this. It is prudent to eat one slice of cheesecake. It is imprudent to eat 4 entire cheesecakes.

It is imprudent to let your 9 year old drive the mini-van.

If you are allergic to sesame, it is imprudent to go to a Chinese Food Buffet.

You know what is going to make you feel lust or to do something sinful. You ought avoid those things.

I, on the other hand, am not allergic to sesame so it is okay for me to go fill up on Cashew Chicken and Fried Rice. I also know that watching a love scene is not going to get me focused on sex.

I think think Staples quoted a part of the catechism were it says it is wrong to film it, watch it… I don’t know the exact verse but the gist I got from it is that it objectives people, it is not right and we should not be participants, even if it is just watching. Erotica exists because there is a demand for it.
 
I would recommend avoiding such scenes if one is prone to focusing on thoughts of lust.
 
I hate sex scenes, It hurts me, and I am convinced that it would benefits for all society to have less of them.

It would be more respectfull of the people who watch the movies, of their modesty or their tempation to lust, and for the people who make the movies.

My advise: stop to watch them as soon as you are able, and avoid watching movies with people and occasion when it would be impossible to zap. And choose carefully your programm.
 
A sex scene or a bedroom scene?

I mean I guess a sex scene could be filmed with the actors draped or lighting techniques…

But I’m not gonna lie, I’m not personally comfortable watching other people have sex.
Too intrusive and creepy.

Even apart from the morality aspect of it.
 
Explicit and sexual scenes are inherently sinful for the protagonist and those who promote them.

So me it follows that to deliberately seek such content must also be a sin.
 
I think it’s possible but it depends on the film and the person watching it.
I watched this British show the other week where basically a bunch of British people were totally naked in Mykonos Greece.
The shows context though was about a group of men and women that had major body insecurities and then they had other confident nude “coaches” who also didn’t have “stereotypically perfect” bodies and who were helping them to feel more comfortable in themselves.
What could of been a shallow show actually ended up quite deep and profound.
There was everything on display but I didn’t find it at all sexual.

I’m not sure if this is the sort of thing you are referring to though?

Some shows do tend to go “low brow” though like Naked Dating show…

Good judgment.

Catechism
1806 Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; "the prudent man looks where he is going."65 "Keep sane and sober for your prayers."66 Prudence is “right reason in action,” writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle.67 It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called auriga virtutum (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid.
