I would argue that the only goal is titillation. It certainly wasn't in Blue is the Warmest Color, or Mulholland Dr., or Blue Valentine. I could think of others, but off the top of my head those are what come to mind.

Take Blue Valentine for instance: It's hardly titillating in the first place. Whenever they have sex it ends some ugly argument or someone just being pissed off. I love the film and think it's some of Gosling and Williams best work. But I never was "turned on" by the sexual content -- it's disturbing.

I should watch BITWC again, but it's full of explicit sexuality, hell, the most wide known one goes on for several minutes! That felt like titillation, but I guess it shows the passionate chemistry between Adele and Lea.
