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.

    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?

                    How can you even make this argument without even referencing a show?
