A new study from the University of California, Los Angeles, found that members of Gen Z want less sex in TV and movies, and instead prefer storylines that feature platonic relationships. The Onion asked young adults why they were such prudes when it came to their viewing habits, and this is what they said.
Removing the /j, a lot of modern media really does push on that sex drive.
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.
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
Did you watch genV?
I’m sad to say after enjoying the boys and watching the gen v trailer, I have no desire to watch any episodes of it. If I’m told it’s good I’ll check it out, but it really doesn’t look like my cup of tea (the wife shared this opinion after was watched the trailer together, we both collectively sighed and agreed that if the show were like the trailer it wasn’t for us)
I didn’t see the trailer - I’ll see if i find it. I’m interested to see if it matches the actual series.
I read an interview with the Showrunner and I’m afraid both series will play closely together in the future. I don’t want to spoil anything, but you may at least have to check out what happened in gen v, if you want to understand the things happening in the boys’ next season , when it starts.
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.
I’d rather see sex than the ridiculous amount of normalized violence on the average torture porn serial killer prime time detective agency show.
