Because of Puritanical prudishness of western audiences, who somehow think that cutting off someone's head is ok, but two people expressing their love is evil

You know, to their defense, the religious conservatives in America and other western nations aren't the ones putting out ultra-violent movies like 300, Kill Bill, Saw XIII, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 27 year after year... that would be the Hollywood crowd, the same group of people who have the balls to lecture us about how violent of a culture we are, yet have no problem consistently putting out movies that created an entirely new sub-genre referred to as "torture-porn" because of it's focus on gruesome acts and mutilation, etc.

Not to mention the fact that there's a big difference between tastefully done love scenes in films, and the "love-scenes" in movies that Hollywood likes to put out, some of which make your average cheesy porn flick look tame by comparison.

If I recell, there was an article that showed that those living in red states, tend to frequent pornography sites more than those living in Blue states, so conservatives have their own hyprocrisy to deal with.  In addition Hollywood is an industry, an industry which caters to the desires of their audience, so them putting out violent films is beacuse violence sells, same with those love scenes that they put out, it sells, and probably many of those who "consume" those products are conservatives the same conservatives who try and shove their brand of "judeo-chrsitian morality" down our throats, ignoring that their source material, their holy book is one of the most violent and sexually charged books ever.
