  The amount of the population that is truly asexual is insanely low, and sex is biologically intended to arouse (in all senses of the word). Gotta reach the widest audience possible, and excite them when reached

    I think if the sex scenes were done well, that’d be one thing (still wouldn’t interest me, but I can see how they’d speak to others), but most of it is so bad. I finally watched Bridgerton a couple weeks ago and I can’t figure out why people were so horny for 30 seconds of some dude jackhammering away in the missionary position. Like why is it even necessary to show that mediocrity? Just skip it and add a little more plot.

    While appealing to something lost people are interested in logical, the main reason I am fine with sex being less frequent in media is because it is often done so terribly as producer forced love interest crap that distracts from the media. Keep the good stuff, but drop all the bad ones.

    Am gen X, disliked crappy and unnecessary sex scenes while enjoying good ones since before it was cool.

  I don’t know what media you’re watching, but I can’t recall much of any in the past few years. Then again, I don’t watch every single movie that comes out.

  Why remove the jizz?

  But, again removing the j/, i wholeheartedly agree, with one exception: if it’s done like sam & emma in genV.

    God that whole universe got so lame with the dicks everywhere. Like it was funny the first couple times in Boys but then they just kept beating that dead horse like the screaming goats in the last Thor movie.

      i have to admit, i haven’t watched The Boys yet ( soon ) and but i didn’t see a dick in genV yet - aaaaahhh, you mean that fake dick emma was hanging on in the first or second episode? Ok, yes, there was also the exploding one. Tbh these 2 were pretty funny imo and also intended as a joke.

      When sam & emma have sex, it was really them just having sex - at least for me, it succeeded to show how deep these two connected and how much they care for each other.

      But from what i heard, The Boys really has much more intense sex scenes, intended to make you uncomfortable from the get go.

        Watch the boys and come to your own conclusion.

        I don’t recall too much sex, but when it was it was a pretty major driver.

        I’m very excited for s4, but have no interest in the expanded universe ala genV

  I’d rather see sex than the ridiculous amount of normalized violence on the average torture porn serial killer prime time detective agency show.
