In Friday the 13th Jason drowns because the lifeguards are having sex so he takes his revenge on horny counselors. That’s where it started
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Because being in extreme situations while naked makes them even more extreme and awkward. It's an effective tool.
SilverFoxChaser
Because it's about the message. If you have sex, or enjoy it, you die horribly.
Broadway2
To scare kids out of having sex
RabbitKnight87
Willing to bet it stems from the purity backlash following free love and the AIDS crisis.
GigglingWordBearer
Because they were generally reinforcing purity culture in some way. "It's ok for these characters to die, they weren't saving themselves for marriage." It's fucking gross, and that's not even the only way it manifests. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic; pretty much anyone white christians are scared of.
imonsei
Because that's what the genre is about. If there wasn't taboo themes and punishment for breaking the taboo, it wouldn't be a slasher movie.
Baltzdelirium
Early trope about virgins not dying because purity or some bullshit. Cult/demon stuff flips that

i think its called coitus disruptus
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
ummm, because boobs. I miss my 80s horror flicks...fucking boobs everywhere!
MidoryMoon
Why? Because that film made $90 million on a $2 million budget.
Pandragun
A lot of movies have unnecessary sex scenes. You can easily imply they had sex without actually showing it. Its a huge waste of time.
Gorgoror
Everything in a slasher is unnecessary, that's the point !
Sotai
Most horror movies have historically been low budget shlock that relies on shock value rather than anything even vaguely related to quality. Sex scenes are a very cost efficient way to shock/titillate/whatever an audience.

It's a trope/cliche all because the first few slasher flicks did it
irisewithredeyes
They even put that shit in one of the Alien movies...
JayDeeDubs
Horror movies historically have been about transgressing social norms, then violently reinforcing them. Now it's just one of the tropes of the form.
JennCantTellTime
Hayes code; anyone who is shown to be promoting degenerate acts cannot survive to the end of the film/novel as a way of reinforcing that immorality will never end well for those committing it.
IMPICKLERICK
If you get naked titty on screen, you will triple your movie sales.
It's basic economics

Why are all the good sex scenes interrupted by murder? Like, let me finish I'll only be another 5 seconds.
DonkeyGoat
So you just started then?
NoseDeepinaHorse
She's got the rest of her night to get to.

gotta get in the mood
