Yes, I was wondering about that. In my first "Avatar" post, I listed a few minor questions I had about details in Cameron's reportedly ultra-detailed Pandoran universe. Among them: "The Na'vi wear loincloths, but their genitals don't appear to be located in their "crotchal regions," so what's the point?"

Perhaps we have the answer. Fox has posted Cameron's WGA-nominated script for awards consideration [download .pdf], and the missing sex scene between Jake and Neytiri can at last be read, if not yet seen (pp. 89 - 91):

He puts his face close to hers. She rubs her cheek against his. He kisses her on the mouth. They explore each other. Then she pulls back, eyes sparkling.

NEYTIRI Kissing is very good. But we have something better.

She pulls him down until they are kneeling, facing each other on the faintly glowing moss.

Neytiri takes the end of her queue and raises it. Jake does the same, with trembling anticipation. The tendrils at the ends move with a life of their own, straining to be joined.

MACRO SHOT -- The tendrils INTERTWINE with gentle undulations.

JAKE rocks with the direct contact between his nervous system and hers. The ultimate intimacy.

They come together into a kiss and sink down on the bed of moss, and ripples of light spread out around them. THE WILLOWS sway, without wind, and the night is alive with pulsing energy as we DISSOLVE TO --

LATER. She is collapsed across his chest. Spent. He strokes her face tenderly.

JAKE Neytiri, you know my real body is far away, sleeping.

She raises up, placing her fingertips to his chest --

NEYTIRI This body is real.

(she touches his forehead)

This spirit is real.
