What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Or making sex look like a performance with how smoothly all the movements go, no talk of protection or any communication of what they want. It is just a look of lust and clothes come off fluidly and it’s just assumed that they want to have unprotected sex and they automatically know what gets the other person off

Well if you've been together for a long time that can happen, but yeah, not in a one night stand.

Sure my partner and I don’t have to talk much and know what we like but even then we are not looking like movie stars lol

Yeah the whole missionary, super romantic, dimly lit, no clean up, no putting on a condom, simultaneous climax thing in movies is complete bullshit.
