If there's a 1 minute sex scene in a 90 minute movie, you're guaranteed to have your parents walk in during that one sex scene.
Lol, If someone puts a gun against my head and says guess the most lied about thing in human history, honest to god I would say, Teens lying About sex.
For some reason I question the validity of this study.
There's lot of 'need to touch grass' level of discourse of sex being icky these days.
Disclaimer: Based on my infrequent visits to tumblr and related subreddits.
I have zero sources to back this up but I blame American puritanism
There is porn now. Everyfuckingwhere. For free. So much porn. Niche porn. Hardcore porn. Fetish porn. You don't have to jerk off to a lingirie catalog like we did when we were kids. Or sneak National Geographic magazines to see boobs. Sex in movies is just sad, stupid, and often unnecessary tittilation.
So what, we're gonna remove gore and action scenes too? I'm not saying sex scenes inherently have more "value" than any other scene, I'm not even arguing they have any "value", but there are a lot of movies out there that are 90% "unnecessary titillation" in one way, shape, or form.
It's this.
I remember walking to the video rental store in the 90s to hire VCR tapes. We always tried to get that ones rated 18+ because there would be some boob stuff. Usually the attendant wouldn't care.
Now, fuck. Filtering porn out of my social media feeds is a daily ordeal.
Dunno. There are better sources too look for sex. Watching a movie with your mates is just awkward.
Also not a teen, but as an asexual person I’ve been wishing for that for a while now.
I always thought there should be more going to the restroom scenes.
When I watched the 24 series I really wanted it to cut to Jack Bauer at least washing his hands afterwards.
Immediately thinking of Pulp Fiction
it's at an all time low. idk how less it could get.
Just do like, a sexy handshake, and move on.
I can't think of a single sex scene in a movie that added value to it. They're pointless and akward to both the audience and actors.
Sounds like someone has never seen MacGruber! Pointless and awkward absolutely but the value added was immeasurable.
Debbie does Dallas would've been a rather mediocre high school drama without the sex scenes.
Any art house film trying to portray reality.
Basic instinct interview
American Pie
Disagree, if it's in a romance movie it's sometimes a necessary addition
Long shot
Other poster had a ~~good~~ only example.
