Agreed. To me, when a movie uses a sex scene as filler, mainly because the plot of the movie isn't long enough to make a movie, it's annoying. I have no problem with sex scenes, and have been known to watch a porno or two on occasion.
But in a horror flick, to me it has to further the story along. For example, PJ Soles in Halloween. She's irritating as hell, and I'm rooting for her to die since her first scene. She has sex with her boyfriend, and sends him off to get her a beer. He, of course, is killed by Michael, who then dons the sheet the boyfriend was wearing(and the glasses), and comes to the room she's in.
Then we get a gratuitous boob shot, but not for nothing. Soles character is killed almost immediately afterwards. So, there is payoff.
I can deal with that. Tit for tat, so to speak.
It's when it's just thrown in as filler and offers nothing more than "here's a boob shot for ya" that it kinda pisses me off. I like boobs, but I also like some semblance of a plot in my horror movies. Though I do love Trash in Return Of The Living Dead. But come on, it's Linnea Quigley.
