I am not a teen.

    If it does not serve a purpose for the plot, then it’s not needed. Simple as that.

      As I said here:

      Why does it have to further the plot?! Why does sex/nudity have to justify itself when tons of movies have gratuitous action scenes and violence that add nothing to the plot? 90% of John Wick is gratuitous violence that added nothing to the story (but I still love it). Our culture celebrates violence and we’ll watch people get tortured to death without batting an eye - but if some tits show up on screen then suddenly everyone becomes a critic analyzing whether the story REALLY needed it or not.

      It’s disturbing to me that we’re culturally encouraged to find fun in violence but sex needs to be cordoned off to a containment genre and excised from mainstream art. I’m not saying it needs to be in every movie - but its been obvious for a while they’re going out of their way to avoid it, even in places where it would make sense or be fun. I want art to stop awkwardly excluding a major part of life. I want out of this “Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny” Twilight Zone multiverse that all our modern movies seem to take place in.

      Sex is too important to be left to porn.

        Its very simple. Sex is boring to look at. Even porn. Whats the longest you watched a porn movie? 5 minutes? 15? Let’s top it off at 30 minutes. Just to be safe.

        Violence is not boring. Stuff like John Wick grabs you by the ass and puts you on a roller coaster.

        Want proof? Look at gaming. How big are the dating sims? Now compare that with call of duty/etc.

        So, me? Yeah, stop with the xxl steamy sex scenes in movies. Very rarely do they add anything more then an interlude. A time to get coffee. To look at your notifications. At best.

        To be clear: I love sex. My sex.

          I always watch through the entire porn movie. For the story.

          Sometimes there’s a bit to much sexy times so if they could tone it down a bit that’d be pretty nice.
