There’s definitely some works that have unnecessary sex scenes; it’s more obvious in movies, though. A lot of the time, the entire romance subplot is utterly unnecessary, and sometimes horribly executed on top of that. Remember The Hobbit, now imagine they also had a sex scene!
In at least a few cases, the “unnecessary” sex scene is necessary to get the film the rating that the director feels is appropriate for the film, because violence and adult themes don’t always get the rating they probably should and the MPAA is a bunch of prudes about sex.
Well, if a scene is just unnecessary and out of place, that’s bad, but I mean, kind of every unnecessary scene(?) is. Idk, I just know many instances of sex scenes that I’d consider rather important for the plot (e.g. in Black Mirror), and just erasing them would make the art worse.

Damn, that’s fucked up.
