This guy wrote a pretty fanboyish review of the sex scene in question. It's a bit over the top at points, but he does raise good points as to why it matters.

I'd wondered how they were going to approach the issue of Dr. Manhattan's big flapping penis. In the graphic novel, he's naked ALL THE TIME. I couldn't see how that would translate to film. I'm a little relieved to know that they just didn't care. Back when I worked in a video store, I learned specifically what differs an X rating from an R. They can show as much dick as they want in an R-rated movie as long as it doesn't "stand at attention".
You're not the first person to comment on the graphic sex scene. I can't wait to see it, but this means that I won't be seeing it with my Mom. :)

I think what bothered me about the sex scene was that the romance between the two characters was poorly developed by the screenwriter. It seemed as if they had to just suddenly fuck in order to get the point across that they were diggin eachother. If there had been a buildup to it that made sense, or if it felt like the culmination of some intense desire, I don't think it would have bothered me. Graphic sex never bothers me really, it just seemed misplaced here and I'm not sure why but it made me really uncomfortable.
