Get the everto ex machina mug.From Deus Ex Machina, A Penis Ex Machina is when a sex scene is unnecessarily dropped into the plot of an otherwise decent film or story in order to boost the ratings.
Some sex scenes are vital to plot, but this describes only when they blatantly serve no relevant purpose to the story-telling.
