No, Sex in pre-code movies was pretty evident/open.  It got more "hidden" in
post-code movies, but it was there.

1) Didn't you mean "pre-code?!"

2) One of the realities of human existences is the fact that Homo Sapiens
is divided into two sexes; the species is also designed so that one of the
two has a desire to mate with as many of the other as possible! Meanwhile,
there are other inherent pressures to minimize "successful results" of these
"extra" matings; our species' offspring require a couple of years before
they can "independently" survive, and a couple of decades (in spite of
the opinions of said offspring...?!) before they can actually survive on
their own! The male half of us is easily inspired visually; since this helps
sell movie tickets, the creators of movies try to take advantage insofar
as they can get away with it...?!

There were a fair number of totally illicit/illegal "dirty movies" made
available; however, there also existed the problem of licit/legal movies
trying to maximize their paying audience...in spite of laws/codes/usw.!

Na und?!
