    Right? That’s my thought. We already have a record low of sex scenes in media but people are still complaining about it?

    It’s then not about the use but some other social issue, like say social stigmas against sex by a growing authoritarian right while being an act that is performed less and less by younger people on all sides say maybe by fears of the biological outcomes of unprotected sex?

    I think it’s just stress at the thought and an avoidance tactic.

      lots of factors, I would say. I think the main thing is that it is still taboo which means you can’t really enjoy something with sex scenes with your family and even friends. there’s also the undeniable fact that lots of sex scenes have historically been gratuitous, obviously inserted to titillate rather than honestly add anything to the story. then again, there isn’t the same kind of reaction against other types of gratuitous scenes, like violence or action.
