      I work in the film business and have been on seta making the biggest movies in the world, even some of those Marvel super hero movies you mentioned. And Although I dont disagree at all those movies are really the lowest common denominator, film making for mainstream consumption is FAR less artistically expressive and driven than what most may realize. Indie films are generally far more creative during the writing and filming process and generally dive deeper into stories that absolutely merit sexual content. I dont think that’s what they are saying though. This is about mainstream media and just wanting something more creative than the same old shit time and time again in relation to sexual content. And I think that’s a fair perspective. There’s true art in film and then there’s the shit on TV and those two are nearly completely seperate.

      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.

                  There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things.

                  Sorry, I put this through my translator but all I got out was ‘i don’t actually have a point to make so I’m just going to pretend I won the argument’. Is this correct?

                  Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery

                  It’s cute that you think the kinds of shows that have sex scenes are anything other than a mockery of human relationships in themselves. Do you not actually pay attention to the plots?
