Agreed, I used to think I was prudish about this because I think some media goes overboard but the fact there's people itt who think the majority of sex scenes in movies serve no purpose is pretty wild. Art depicting a major part of human life? Well I never...
Well that's the rub no? Gen Z is the most sexless generation. People are getting older without having sex is increasingly more common. The desire for sexless media is probably just linked to that.
yeah, I don't like sex scenes either but I'm not really sure why. maybe because it doesn't seem relatable. it also kinda seems like a cheap gimmick to maintain the audience's interest, like putting corn syrup in food for no reason. I did once see someone saying that younger people may be jaded from there being so much porn on the internet, and negatively associate movie sex scenes with that, which also makes sense to me.
I mean, I haven't had sex myself and I don't think about it too much but I still recognize that it's something that's massively important as an aspect of human life and artists want to depict it.
Its just so awkwardly done most of the time. I'm not bothered by sex scenes and I don't watch movies with other people much and I still usually roll my eyes and games are even worse, its like looking at two dolls being slammed together
It's worse than that. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of art and storytelling. The idea that every scene needs to be advancing the plot or it is "unnecessary" and thus should be removed is deeply anti-art

TikTok/YouTube shorts brain. Some of the best episodes in any series are those that don't specifically advance the plot, and give you backround information about the characters, their past and their motivations.
it's a deeply superficial and literal reading of art. I ran into another user here who refuses to even entertain the idea the curtains aren't blue and symbols and themes have meaning
apparently it's a touchy subject cause mod deleted it for hostile when it was just explaining how they were falling into a common anti-intellectual trope
So I just want to start by saying that I agree, but I'm sure you've come across some sex scenes that made you roll your eyes in movies. I'd be fine with those being gone for the same reason I'd be fine with overlong fight scenes that are boring and repetitive to going away too.
Basically I agree with the volcels specifically when it comes to Zack Snyder sex scenes
problem is drawing the line of "rolls eyes" and "valid sex scene" because many users in this thread have basically stated they don't think there's a single valid sex scene in all of art and film
Yeah I guess. I'll admit that my attention has drifted away during plenty of sex scenes but usually it's because I wasn't buying the romantic chemistry at all between the actors beforehand.
Thank you for saying something that needs to be said. As someone who's writing style has a lot of scenes that are just... the characters interacting for the fun of having them play off each other without anything "significant" happening I appreciate that someone gets why thats not a bad thing.
There are sex scenes that drag out way too long. Like Pablo Escobar fucking everything with a boob in Narcos. But they toned it down in future seasons. But people act like they’re seeing a penis going into a vagina and ejaculating all over her chest for 5 minutes during some action movie. Typically, at worst, it’s just two people rubbing on each other in the darkness and you see the silhouette of a nipple
I feel like it's like any other content, if it's good it's good. The era where every single movie had a terrible sex scene inserted into it to help it sell is long gone.

I don't disagree, but I just think this may be related to the relative shift in views on it

if i have to read one more person say sex is pointless in stories i stg
Its not necessary to the plot tho???
are you doing a bit repeating the asinine argument or just asserting it lol
It's a bit. I fucking hate that shit
i quietly whisper to myself they're just babies who've haven't seen how good movies handle sex

Literally all the people that excessively complain about "filler" in anime lol

We had a mini struggle session that very topic, very fun stuff
apparently it's a touchy subject cause mod deleted it for hostile when it was just explaining how they were falling into a common anti-intellectual trope
very true. threads like this bum me out
i am also bummed

this is DEMOCRACY MANIFEST
Maybe I'm too
but watching people have sex doesn't add anything to a movie or show for me.

If a movie or tv show about political intrigue is interrupted by so.ething that should br on pornhub repeatedly that kinda throws a lot of peoplr off
I think there should be a cock on screen at all times, and I think hollywood has failed us repeatedly in this regard.
serious answer: that doesn't happen and it's not real
Did they start making Dennis's movie
What the fuck are you watching
The sexy boobening: Cock Cruncher Creamery season 2
Keep going to season 3 it gets a lot less gratuitous
sex scenes in movies wouldn't even cut it as softcore porn. The nasty shit you see on pornhub has never been in a single hollywood movie
Yeah i dont watch porn so it alo makesnme uncomfy therefore evwrypne should bow down to what i want because im the ruler of everyrhing
