In a couple of weeks, one of the most anticipated movies of the year, "Fifty Shades of Grey," will hit the big screen. However, fans of the raunchy film may be glad or disappointed to know that the notorious tampon scene will not be included.

To receive and R-rating, as opposed to NC-17, the film's creators decided to shy away from a scene in which Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, pulls out a tampon out of Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, reports Variety.

"It didn't make it into the movie," says director Sam Taylor-Johnson. "It was never even discussed."

The excerpt below retells the graphic scene:

"When did you start your period, Anastasia?" he asks out of the blue, gazing down at me.
"Err ... Yesterday," I mumble in my highly aroused state.
"Good." He releases me and turns me around.
"Hold on to the sink," he orders and pulls my hips back again, like he did in the playroom, so I'm bending down.
He reaches between my legs and pulls on the blue string ... What! And ... a gently pulls my tampon out and tosses it into the nearby toilet.

However, without the scene, the movie preserves the same connection between lust and love.

"The book needed to put you in Ana's shoes to be a successful experience," explained producer Michael De Luca. "A lot of it was very literal. The movie didn't need to do that. It's a completely different medium."

The creators did not want to film to be solely based on sex. As Taylor-Johnson has previously said, she sees the movie more as a love story.

"It's say it's pretty 50/50," she explains about the sex scene ratio. "I think the sex scenes are integral to the story. They are not gratuitous. It tracks the story."

For De Luca, one of the most important scenes was the last one, where Grey shows more of his dominant self.

"It's the closest Christian comes in the first book to being his full dominant self. Jamie's performance in that scene is a miracle. He really gets carried away in the moment," De Luca said.

While the changes may displease some fans, the decision makes sense, as the film can reach a wider audience with an R-rating.

Nonetheless, the book's author, E.L. James is happy with the results. In another interview with Variety, she talks about how happy she is with the movie.

"I was always concerned how the sex would be handled in the film. I wanted it to be tasteful and sexy, and I think we got there in the end," she said.
