    I feel like people confuse sex for a more ambient, lowkey sort of horniness. A sense of being lived in. The issue isn't that movies are literally sexless, it's that they're figuratively sexless. Everyone's conventionally attractive, but in a sterile, lifeless way.

        This is the source of many, many, MANY of our cultural neuroses. I blame the fact that a lot of old school American doctors and social leaders thought any sort of excitement was either physically bad or spiritually bad

            I don't think anyone got it in 1997. I think it was like 2006 when i first saw people being like "holy shit the dumb action movie was actually really smart!"

      Yeah, people don't need to fuck but it can be appropriate for a character to avoid making it seem like they don't know what sex even is and frankly aren't interested in finding out.
