i might like sex scenes more if most of them weren't so male-gaze-y, but since most are im really not interested in watching softcore porn for a few minutes, no. i didn't think that was a hot take actually so im surprised this struggle session is so long lol
you can definitely have sex scenes that are good and adding to the work, but i think that's unrelated to wanting less sex in media in general. im kind of weirded out by how many people are saying that wanting such is puritan nonsense

I think thats a good way to put it. Even when it's a story written by a woman it feels odd ( Outlander for example).
I used to read Visual Novels pretty frequent-ish, and would ctrl skip through all the sex scenes because they were all so fucking weird and gross. Idk, it doesn't bother me too much, but it definitely feels uncomfortable in the moment.
that's a very good example, i have a similar experience with them. i play otome games a lot (dating sims targeted at women), and the sex scenes seem to focus on the woman/player character and have her moan a lot and stuff. it doesn't make sense to me when they do the opposite with every other type of cg!
and i've definitely played some that aren't like that, and i do enjoy those, so it's not like it's impossible.
