The 12 Most Awkward Sex Scenes in Movies

Andy Warhol famously said, "Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets," but clearly he never saw "Monster's Ball."

From the comedic to the absurd to the downright depressing, here are 12 cringe-inducing sex scenes we've compiled for your viewing (dis)pleasure.

'American Pie' (1999)

Since Jim's (Jason Biggs) tryst with the pie can't strictly be considered a sex scene, we're going with one of the other memorable moments in the teen movie. What's a hormonal high-school virgin to do when a beautiful exchange student is naked and eager in his room? The answer is simple – finish (twice!) before he even gets started (well, beyond being in the presence of a pretty, naked girl). Poor Jim. At least Alyson Hannigan's Michelle eventually gives him his happy ending.

'Knocked Up' (2007)

Leave it to Judd Apatow to direct the saddest depiction of pregnancy sex ever. Seth Rogen's father-to-be Ben can't concentrate on doing the deed with his smokin' hot baby mama Alison (Katherine Heigl), because all he can see is the baby "poked in the face by my penis." Making matters worse is two subsequent positions that leave both of them frustrated, self-conscious and utterly unable to seal the deal with a baby bump in between.

'Monster's Ball' (2001)

Some sex scenes are just too much and you have to close your eyes and hope the moaning and crying (yeah, we said crying) will end soon. All of that would be an understatement as to how unpleasant and disturbing the love scene is between Halle Berry's grief-stricken Leticia and her until-then platonic prison guard friend Hank (Billy Bob Thornton). Berry is no doubt featured in plenty of fantasies whispering "Will you make me feel good?" but she's probably not ugly-crying while she's saying it over and over again like in this you-should-look-away-now scene.
