Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, a new study finds. Those born between 1997 and 2012 apparently prefer to see platonic relationships in film and TV.
Right? Having two actors awkwardly on top of one another moaning is just weird. Having them in bed in the afterglow, talking, could be potentially plot relevant.
Also it’s always fucking straight people. People go around all “don’t shove your gayness down my throat” as though we don’t get heterosexuality shoved down our throats on a daily basis.
The show Sex Education does a pretty good job of showing the different types of sex that can happen between all different kinds of relationships. If you’re looking for that kind of representation, that show has it.
I’m not interested in watching sex scenes. Diverse or not, the diversity is just a pet peeve of mine.
A while back I watched a Japanese film about a sex worker. It took almost the entire film before it showed a sex scene.
I also browsed around for something new to watch, saw a trailer for “Who Is Erin Carter?”, a mother and her daughter is in a grocery store, which gets robbed. They get attacked, mother fights back, and in a twist she and a robber recognises one another. Seemed interesting! Actual show had like two or three sex scenes within the first 25 minutes so I stopped watching.
If I want to watch porn, I’ll go to a site with porn and pick a genre I enjoy. Usually with burly hairy men, typically no women involved.
If I’m watching a film or a show, I want a gripping/engaging story, something pornography doesn’t tend to have.
Sex Education is mainly about the really good story. And the sex scenes, which are mostly just about fooling around, have an actual purpose. It’s character development first and foremost to tell a story about the types of love and types of sex that can occur.
But different strokes for different folks, pun intended.
Yeah that’s fair. It sounds like something very appropriate for an American audience given how prude and repressed they tend to be. I’m sure it’s good, but I’m currently more into mystery stuff. Hence the title “Who is Erin Carter” and the ominous trailer really set these expectations, only for my interest to drop at all the shagging.
I realise that makes me sound quite prude. I’m actually a massive slut, just not interested in watching actors getting it on. I want thrill, and suspense.
I also feel like for most films/shows, including the sex scene is just pandering to people who enjoy that. Which is fine. Sometimes it might relate to character development, but the development rarely happens during the actual scene, other than “these two shagged.” Often you could’ve just “summarised” it by showing the afterglow or whatever.
More than that, I feel like you can tell great stories without ever really involving sex. I don’t actually think about sex all the time, but when films and TV is so rife with it, you get the impression that the producers absolutely do.
I mean either don’t do it or make porn. There shouldn’t be a in between.

It’s also a really good show regardless.

Yeah, and while we are at it, either make an MMA fight or don’t that either.
Or do landscape photography and don’t bother with establishing shots.
