As long as there is remembrance of Stalin before the sexual act, its fine

"People still living at home with their parents want movies to have less sex scenes" according to BigSurpriseMagasine

Sex scenes in games and movies are just always awkward. I can't think of a time when it's actually added to the narrative. Just makes it uncomfortable to watch with other people.

ITT: people acting like it's still the eighties and every single film has tits awkwardly shoved into it.

Sex is almost completely absent from major motion pictures, and in the smaller films where it still shows up it's almost never titillating (that doesn't automatically mean that it's tasteful or good). Two decades ago there was serious market demand for sex scenes in film, but that was before every single person had an infinite porn tap in their pocket at all times.

We need to return to Paul Verhoeven where the movie is an excuse to show 10 sex scenes but also antifascist

I want more casual sex in media, but less sexualization of everything.

obviously there are many movies with pointless sex scenes that should have been cut or changef, but also some movies would work significantly less well without them

a lot of people have sex, and for many it's a big part of life and their relationships. anything that important irl should be represented in art

i think people are more interested in seeing, you know, actual functioning and real relationships. not bullshit. sex is a very small part of any real relationship

I want to see actual penetration in films. Bring back squibs and have all the avengers fuck each other

the american zoomers are so progressive they're reinventing the hays code lmao

They should poll 6 year olds and ask them if they find kissing on screen to be nasty and icky

I’ll be okay with sex scenes in media when it’s well intentioned and comes from a place that isn’t saturated by western ideals of misogyny and body shaming. Not to mention the rampant sexual abuse and misogyny present in Hollywood.

Shit like Geralt seeing how many women he can bang for cool cards is objectifying af. Shit like bond banging the main woman of the movie every movie is objectifying af. Making the next bond a woman will not change that.

Also on a personal note I have misophonia and the sound of kissing is a big trigger.

I don't think all physical intimacy should be wiped from media. I don't think we should act like breasts should be shielded at all costs because it makes people feel awkward due to being raised in a society that makes breasts naughty.

I think there's room for nude scenes and physical intimacy in movies, but the way its done sucks. Like you don't need to show the penetration, but a short sex scene and a segue to a couple cuddling and the occasional nip popping out is just real life.

When I was a kid my grandma took me to see the dukes of hazard movie. There's a scene where the duke boys are running through a dorm to get away from the sheriff and they run into a room of a bunch of college girls doing a topless pillow fight. My grandma didn't cover my eyes and gasp, she started cracking up because it was funny and silly and they're just breasts at the end of the day. I watched plenty of movies with my parents with a random nude scene and sure it was a little awkward but we laughed it off and if it was egregiously long we'd fast forward.

I understand people being tired of shitty hollywood sex scenes, but I don't think its good enough reason to do a 180 and never see a stray nip in a movie ever again. That just feels like a marvel capeshit attitude.

47.5% of young people say that sex isn’t necessary for the plot of most TV shows and movies

10-24 is a pretty wide ass range for this. Curious if tweens, early teens, late teens, and early 20s differ in any major way. Honestly they should've just polled adults only from every generation, who cares what 12 year olds think

sex is cool, you people are insane

e: love ya tho

The lower part of the age range probably isnt even in puberty yet. Some people dont experience sexual attraction until their mid teens (if at all), so of course it feels a bit gross.

Nah tbh I support them. Nothing worse* than being really invested in a movie then they throw in a gratuitous sex scene that doesn’t move the plot forward at all and messes up the whole flow of the movie. Been saying it for years, not every movie needs a love story and a big sex scene

*hyperbole, there are absolutely worse things than this

Definitely approve of less sex scenes in videogames (every videogame character I play becomes an asexual, because I have no interest in getting my videogame-man to videogame-plow the videogame-woman -- I'm just here for the combos, folks), and I would like a moratorium on depiction of sexual violence in basically all media until directors at least figure out not to shoot it like fetish porn.

As a strange personal anecdote (which may just be me snitching on myself really hard, but whatever) I've been in the room with people as they just casually watched hardcore pornography (which I still find baffling -- that there are people who will just, like, watch porn with their friend-group), and somehow that was less awkward than watching a movie with those same friends that had an unexpected sex scene. I'm genuinely not sure what to make of that.

Agree from me. Why does every single show have to have at least one graphic R scene? Videogame sex scenes are silly to me because it's like making action figures take off their clothes and mash them together
