A Boomer here, and I'm finding these comments to be very interesting--mostly because I'm realizing I agree in many cases! Far from prudish, just last night I fast-forwarded past the sex scenes in the first episode of a new streamer series. "Yeah, yeah, I get it...you're hot for each other. Can we move it along, please?"

It's just gen z being pragmatic. We don't need sex in movies cuz we have unlimited better porn.

Y'all need to go fuck some more. Films like La La Land are really missing something without a sex scene, the chemistry feels really fake and the relationship isn't believable.

Sex is normal. Sex is good. Sex in films is necessary to convey intensity which a pan from bed shot can never achieve.

Great example: Terminator. Without this scene the whole franchise fails. The film doesn't have the gravitas when John does die without it. And it's a highly charged emotional reaction to the harrowing events they have both just been through.

A study of only 1500 teens still seem pretty small to me
