I have a question for everyone... What would you like to see done better in the sex scenes. 3,2,1... GO! Coming down to the end of the discussion, I would like to know what I could do better. I am one person, I cant think of everything, I would love some constructive feedback.

ooh, so glad you asked, but i never expect a director to ask for advice like that, so I'm not really prepared to answer in detail.
A few thoughts immediately popping into my head, though: try to make sure scenes within a single movie aren't too similar to each other (in terms of what activities occur, what order they occur in, how scene begins/ends, etc.)
also, and this is probably more difficult, try to judge the right amount of editing to get the scene to its most effective length. Scenes that run too long can come across as boring, even if they would be super exciting if edited down a bit, but scenes that are too short are just plain frustrating. And it's always the scene you like best that's too short, of course.
This is impossible, really, as everyone will have a different opinion, so obviously you just have to go with your best judgement, as there can't be any single magic perfect length. Every scene should be judged separately on how long it should be, rather than trying to hit exactly N minutes for every scene.
