With Sex Scenes Like This, Who Needs Skinemax?

[jwplayer id="7117300"]

Last week we learned of the imminent demise of Cinemax After Dark, the home of shows like "Girl's Guide to Depravity" and "Femme Fatales"--as well as countless softcore porn flicks. It's a sad announcement to be sure, but it's worth noting that it does not mean the end of sex on Cinemax.

For while Cinemax After Dark may be going bye-bye, Cinemax's other original offerings--like, for instance, "Strike Back"--will be getting a more prominent placement. And as this clip (and, uh, every other episode of "Strike Back") shows, there a lot of sex on "Strike Back." About as much sex as on "Game of Thrones" or "True Blood" (which, let's be serious, are pretty much softcore porn for the fantasy crowd).

So while we'll miss "Femme Fatales" and "GGTD," we'll at least rest knowing that we don't have to bid farewell to sex on Cinemax. (And even if we did, well--there's always HBO, Starz, and Showtime!)
