Series like Normal People are excellent examples of shows using sex as a vital plot point between young people. We f*ck and not showing that when it's neccesary is kinda stupid.

Yup, and it makes sense to the narrative there. Same as the one in TLOU episode 3, but for each one of those you have ten from Elite and the like.

If a movie or tv show you're watching makes you uncomfortable that's perfectly okay and you can stop watching it, but don't ask for them to change just to appease you. :rip:

Y’all would have not survived the 80’s

Sex wasn't nearly as accessible back then, you actually had to look for it.

No. Sex is part of the human experience and as valid/important as anything else whether some of you like it or not. 

It adds absolutely nothing to the plot unless it’s a show like sex education.

This take is correct. You can see porn addicts in this very thread getting completely incensed at the idea that sex could be reduced in media. It’s pitiful.

Not really on topic but I for one would love to see more platonic relationships in media :rip: like, guy/girl friendships exists in real life so why can't a guy and girl be friends on a show without being romantic or hooking up?

Agreed. If mfs want sex on screen, just watch po*n.

Although I don’t agree, I kinda understand. The currently gen is having sex shoved at them at different angles, you can’t look at a reply on Twitter without some programmed bot post advertising their OF. I see this as an effect of that :michael:

Good. Most TV shows and films don’t portray sex and sexual desire realistically nor do they dwell on both the good and negative aspects of sex. Long are the days were shows like Sex and the City audaciously questioned sexual lifestyles and ideologies

 

Now it’s all for shock factor, there’s no substance to it. It’s like clickbait. 

 

And of course some of y’all are already criticizing and complaining and attacking these views as puritans. Get a grip :skull: 

 

Sex positivity =/= free pass where everything is and should be accepted

Sex in every show is so cringe, it's not interesting and it's not needed.

It's not needed because they send nudes to each other / post slutty pics on socials already. :sistrens:

and on top of this I would like to say, because this is a major important topic to me personally, growing up with media and other forms of artistic expression, sex can become a problem when not learnt or dwelt with properly and this is not just necessarily a problem from the media we consume (but also parental education and the school systems) but it does play a factor on it and it should be talked about and it should (constructively) criticized. and that’s my option on that :fish2:

I don’t care about this

 

But why would they ask anyone under 18 about this? So weird, of course they’re uncomfortable when watching with parents or friends and they’re all going through puberty jfc

And while we're on the topic, can two queer people exist on a show without hooking up? Let's talk about that

this i agree with. sooo many films and tv shows have heterosexual romantic subplots for no reason other than to make the straight audience root for certain characters, but it has actually nothing to do with the main story.

Why are they quoting a 16 year old in the article though? :rip: Like, who cares if literal teenagers don’t want to see romance and sex? That seems normal to me.

Probably cuz p*rn is much more accessible now compared to what millenials had :mandown:

It was in just about every music video, every song, advertisements, films you wouldn’t expect it, the 80’s were a lot less puritanical than today in that regard
