Millenal here, but yeah there are too many wildly unnecessary sex scenes in a lot of mediaLike, if it's an earned thing as part of a romance movie? Sure. But if there are bouncing titties I the first 30 minutes I'm just annoyed and uncomfortable. Looking at you HBO, a conversation between two charcters isn't helped by them banging while talking.

Plz stahp.

But, I'm also ace too.... so maybe I'm biased 😂

Not ace, am millennial, I also think there are too many sex scenes in movies. The kids are right.

even when it’s earned, very rarely do i have to see exactly how someone does a fuck to understand the plot. like what am i supposed to feel, horny? because i certainly don’t get teary eyed and sentimental over what is essentially softcore porn lmao

Exactly!!! Porn exists and is easily accessible to anyone that looks. I watch TV and movies for story and charcters, not softcore. It's just tacky and uncomfortable to make it part of an otherwise serious drama. Yes humans have sex and that's nothing to be ashamed of nor hidden, but we don't need tits and titillation to show these two characters are intimate.

I'm fine with some titties, but sex scenes are just uncomfortable. Am also part of the asexual umbrella tho

When i grew up, i liked sex scenes in movies, because where else would you see it? There was no interet. Now i really don't like sex scenes because they are pretty much always stupid and pointless, and i see more a creepy ass director jerking himself off. I started to see the same thing with feet and it just feels creepy. I don't really like feet to begin with, but ever since i realised that a lot of people have a foot fetish, i'm starting to see it in movies, where there is no reason for people to be barefoot. Like in the earlier marvel movie where women just randomly walked around barefoot for absolutely no reason.

Nudity is kind of the same and i find it mindblowing that it still works. I still hear dudes say that they like ..... Movie because ..... Shows her boobs. I find it even grosser, ever since i learned that nude scenes are usually shot first, so the actor is less likely to back out or they have leverage.
