[Cap'n Jack] Sex and telepathy
It seems like every time someone gets telepathy in a e21C movie, there has to be a sex scene that shows how much better sex is when one partner can read the other's mind. This almost always takes the form of a post-coital scene where the woman, in that happy panting breathless stage, remarks on how "It was like you were in my mind!"
...now, this may be my peculiar experience of sex, but when I'm in the middle of having it, I'm really not thinking to myself, "Man, I hope they trail their fingers up against my navel, and then maybe they could do that little flicky tongue thing in the dip right behind my ear, that'd be cool." I don't want to be in anyone's head; I want to be in their body, and if you know what to look for, the body will provide all the cues you need it to with regards to how a particular action is going over. It is possible to read reactions, even in sex, especially in sex, without reading minds. In fact it's probably better to pay attention to what the body is saying, rather than waiting for the mind to mediate it.
Besides, sex with telepaths tends to be a lot better for the telepath (who's getting your euphoria on top of their own), unless they happen to be projective telepaths (whole different story).
