SFX have gotten so good that you can barely hear the grunting.

Wouldn't even have to use SFX to be convincing. Just dump a few hundred pounds of dog shit on a little trolley, put a stupid toupee on top, and wheel it around slowly on some rope. Nobody would tell the difference.

They really are good at painting out wire work in movies these days.

I hope that's not the case. One example in this video someone posted the other day, he's doing a sex scene sat down and fully clothed. He's basically a marionette at this point.
