So I'd have been better off leaving it out from the start.
And while it's really not a matter of debate that the French are more relaxed about on-screen sex or nudity (I'm reminded of the TV version of Druon's Rois Maudits back in the sixties, in which at one point a female character walks around topless for an entire scene for no real discernible reason, forty years before HBO would make such random nudity their trademark), the surprisingly vehement French debate about gay marriage and other things have made clear that the gap between the countries in terms of social liberalism isn't as big as the French might like to think.

It was intended to be humorous and poke fun at ourselves as much as you.

No. "Puritan prudishness" characterizes much of America perfectly. Leave it in.

I think it's silly and thin-skinned to get offended at statements of the obvious.

I fail to see any snarkiness, or who would be "irked".

The point is that people should just say what they mean.

I certainly don't avoid interacting with those who disagree with me on most things.

Either way, you guys, the point of my review was that this was more than just a sex movie.

Well, a few more movies like this and he'll have a reputation that allows him to act that way.

Yeah, surprisingly enough, that longest scene really did get sort of boring.

I seem to recall the author of the graphic novel, Julie Maroh, also criticising the sex scenes
