Mainstream Hollywood has become significantly more sexless over the last two decades. Recent data shows that sexual content in major films has dropped by roughly 40% since the early 2000s. Hollywood studios now pour most of their money into massive, PG-13 franchise blockbusters designed to appeal to global audiences, family crowds, and strict international censorship boards. Erotic thrillers or romantic dramas just do not get the same theatrical backing they used to. The industry has introduced vital safety measures like intimacy coordinators to protect actors and establish strict boundaries.
In this regard, here is what Netizens are saying.
1. Sex scenes are unnecessary. They only serve to fuel the director's lust. The mere insinuation of sex has the exact same effect.
2. I can’t remember the last time I saw actual nudity or good sex in a Hollywood feature film in a long time. The Gen Z preference for platonic relationships and friendship instead of actual romance is severely hurting filmmaking.
3. I genuinely wonder if Christopher Nolan would have included more sex in THE ODYSSEY if so many of you weirdos hadn't cried about it in OPPENHEIMER so much.
4. The criticism of sex scenes is being misrepresented because the issue a lot of people have is the overuse of it to bypass storytelling work and plot development by trying to get a reaction out of the audience using cheap tricks.
5. Sex scene is 5 minutes maximum of nothing but groaning and it's annoying as hell and doesn't serve a purpose. Literally, what is the point?
