Christopher Nolan does a lot of things right, but this one thing very wrong.
Christopher Nolan is an ideas man. Some may critique the director for favoring certain themes, but it's rare for a creative to not revisit what resonates with them. In Nolan's case, no one else utilizes blockbuster budgets to amplify artistic sensibilities more traditionally synonymous with indie filmmakers.
Ultimately, Nolan wanted his audience "to not judge" his subject, "but to understand him." Emotional vulnerability goes a long way toward generating empathy. American Prometheus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography about the theoretical physicist that Nolan based Oppenheimer on, recalled Jean as "Robert’s truest love. [...] He was devoted to her.
To Nolan's artistic credit, the second sexual moment between the couple doesn't depict sex at all. Emotional vulnerability is the aim: both parties are naked post-coitus, after all, and nudity has always been an allegorical shorthand for fragility. The staging's also deliberate: Oppenheimer and Jean sit across from one another in separate chairs rather than lie closely entangled. Oppenheimer explains how Jean's ties to the Communist Party put his livelihood at risk.
