    “It makes my AI girlfriend uncomfortable.”

    I love watching porn, i really do.

    But when i’m watching a movie/tv show, i wanna get some actual plot, you know?

    I’m not against the presence of nudity/sex scenes in media. But i’m tired of seeing people on the screen copulating just for the sake of it (again, unless it’s porn).

    I know that there are people who do have casual sex often (it’s kind of a cultural thing), but for a lot of us that’s just isn how it goes (or at least not in our current situation).

    My point is, i want to see good writing, that does not have to force sex in order to be interesting or have high ratings.

    Unfortunately, it seems the more tech we have, the less time and money do the big companies want to invest on making a good product.

    Thus, support independent film makers!!

    Sex is unrealistic. It was created by Walt Disney in the 1930s to make Donald Duck seem interesting, but nobody actually does it.

    Look, I’m just some boring ace girl who happily lives with her ace girlfriend in our sex less lives. And sure we can appreciate a tasteful sex scene if it serves the plot.

    But GAWD, so much media is horny on main.

    Real reason: They all still live at home, have to watch with their parents, and will do until their parents die of old age.

    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

        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.

      Microtransaction Ideas:

      1. Metal Reserves: Allow players to purchase in-game resources like metals (used for Allomancy) or Feruchemical charges.

      2. Legendary Metals: Give players the opportunity to obtain rare and powerful Allomantic metals or Feruchemical attributes through microtransactions, increasing their abilities.

    !The concept of sex in movies already reached its peak with Porky’s, and any attempts to improve on that are just embarrassing.!<

    Never change Onion. 😄

      For real. This one got me the best:

      “We held a meeting and decided being radically open about gender while adopting a puritanical outlook on sex was the best way to shock Boomers to death.”

    Do we not realize this is satire? Go to every other country and you will see way more sex and much less violence on the Tele. Seems like we could do some good in the US by changing our viewing habits.

    I (26), absoutely as old as can be for a Gen Z, personally want more sex in movies. I dont watch anything mainstream, anything PG-13. The movie I watched last night included a sexual assault. And that movie was fucking thought provoking. I wanna make that choice that what I watch is graphic. And guess what I live with my Mom and watch with her. She’s a badass.
