They say that ‘sex sells’, but if that’s true, why has it practically disappeared from modern Hollywood filmmaking? It wasn’t always this way: romantic scene...
tl;dr: capeshit/MCU/nerds/streaming killed sex in movie theaters.
Andor felt like it did the sex stuff wrong, Or at least had it in the wrong places with characters with zero chemistry.
The couple at the beginning was pretty lifeless.
Andor scoring babes at the vacation planet is basically a cut away and isnt consistent with his character
The lesbian couple hate each other and dont even demonstrate any love from what I remember and are in the process of breaking up (cool I guess, but not for ancillary characters?)
And finally the one that would have made me laugh and seemed most appropriate was the imperial freaks at the end should have immediately gone at each other, but that tension in that scene melts away to nothing.
Do I have good news for you about andor
This applies to everything wrong with Star Wars and also some stuff that is totally fine but fuck it, Andor is better.

I feel like I interpreted each one of those things differently
Bix and Timm was awkward because Timm was hiding a major secret
Let Andor be a little slutty. And also he has intense chemistry with Bix and Brasso
The lesbian couple don't hate each other, they love each other and they want their lives to have different trajectories, and that's causing tension
The sexual tension in the Dedra Incel boy scene was present, but entirely within Syril Carn's head
