Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, a new study finds. Those born between 1997 and 2012 apparently prefer to see platonic relationships in film and TV.

      Iam not gen z and not offended by nudity, but mostly i find it doesn’t add to the story if the sex scenes are played out. If i want porn, i just watch porn.

          For sure they do, but in some series its nearly porn and doesn’t add to the story.

              I have seen the first season of the series the article shows. Which had more sex scenes than the plot could handle.

              Probably its just what they think the target group likes.

              And you are not getting my point. People having sex on tv is ok. Having 10+ Minute sex scenes is unnecessary and doesn’t add to the story.

              Okay, but what exactly does it add once you’ve made your point that they’re banging? What additional point are you making that warrants not cutting to the next scene after that point has been established?

              Lots of film and show makers don’t ask these questions when they make their sex scenes so the result is boring filler.

                  You’re still failing to answer the first question:

                  what exactly does it add once you’ve made your point that they’re banging?

                  Because…it’s not entertaining either. If I wanted to watch people bang, I’d just go find some porn.

      For years everyone questioned why literally everything is so overly sexualized. Every plot, every ad, every spare moment when sex is shoehorned into literally everything we see, watch and hear in media. Now, the young adults are sayin, “nah, fuck that” and I dont disagree with that response. I think it’s less them being offended as you’re making it out to be and more just wanting something different besides the status quo. Its unwise and unhelpful to shit on these kids at every turn. Previous generations said the same thing about your generation when you were that age.

      Edit: typo

          No one is offended by it. Its just boring. I would prefer the movie to be 10 minutes shorter than have a 10 minutes sex scene in it.

          It’s a natural part of life but so is pooping and I don’t want to watch anybody do that on screen either. Fade to black. Same with extreme violence. These things can be an important part of the story without being shown graphically.

      Watching other people drool over each other and exchange bodily fluids is just cringe.
