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.
I think sex is normalized as a part of life, but what about people who choose not to make sex a part of their life? Not saying there should be no sex scenes in movies, but how about making some movies and shows where sex isn’t shoehorned in, where characters of the opposite sex don’t need to be romantic as a standard
I know the example that gets thrown around lately is the DND movie where Darvis and Holga just have a solid platonic relationship
A lot of Hollywood &-ish cinema decouples sex from relationships, as if it’s a “good boy” treat for winning the day or if it’s a a cautionary tale of urges gone wrong. Try the foreign cinema of Spain, Italy or France and you can see how it’s part of the character’s development and growth in a film, and not just a plot point.
