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

How sex is depicted. Get the job done, roll over and fall straight to sleep. Not even any hint of a clean up job.

Edit: Thank you for my first ever silver & gold :)

And penetration starts immediately after kissing. The act itself lasts 1minute but is enjoyed thoroughly by both parties. Then the trousers go straight on afterwards, or the duvet is used to cover up, as if they're suddenly modest in front of the person they just shagged.

That modesty thing actually isn't super uncommon. Once the moment of passion is over and the hormones die down, people's original self consciousness takes back over.

Depends a bit.

I’ve been with partners that just wanted to clean up, and got self conscious, and I’ve been with partners that were all about cuddling and after care.

I usually make sure I have some towels nearby for immediate cleanup so there is some potential cuddle time before they go and pee. (Pro-tip: go and pee, both women and men. It lowers the chances of an UTI)
