Has anyone noticed how movies don’t have sex scenes anymore?

So I watched X a few days ago and it was a good movie but i was taken aback by some of the graphic nudity. I come to think of it it’s been a minute since I’ve seen a sex scene( and I mean tittes showing and ass, not two people busting through an apartment and waking up wrapped in blankets).

Most movies today are all either PG or PG-13 barley any rated r films. What y’all think about this?

So much unnecessary sex scenes on streaming though

Naw b they out there

That's fine with me. Sex scenes were never a necessity.

Sex scenes tend to be exploitive and pointless unless directly tied to something important in the narrative.

Lol first movie i thought of was X as well.. shyt be mad uncomfortable in the theatre. U gotta freeze your head and look straight ahead until its over, cant let no one see your horny ass expressions.

I mean, in movies most of it is unrealistic anyway. TV shows like Insecure had the best sex scenes.

The thing that irritates me is that there is way too much male nudity being shown on movies and TV series. I don't want to see man ass. Show some female t*ts and ass.

X was a wild ass movie in general

Watching a new movie/show with your family and all of a sudden full blown fukking happens in the next scene is the WOAT.

 

[maxamusa]

its not necessary. is there any film where a sex scene was critical to the film? it can be implied instead of wasting screen time lol

 

[Metal Face]

GOOD

Yep it’s been like that. No gore either and if it is is cartoonish.

I think it’s because the content can be played to a wider audience on more outlets.

It’s the same thing with video games.

I feel the roles between TV and film are reversing.

Back in the day TV networks were more conservative with how much artistic expression they would allow, while the film industry was more liberal about certain subject matters and expression.

Today 90% of streaming and theatrical films are fairly tame on gore and sex compared to previous decades--its all about jumpy editing rather than making you see and experience something disturbing like back in the day. But you got cable shows now that have all types of sex, political themes, bad language, and subject matter. Violence ain't changed much but its still more than you would see in previous periods.

I don't watch TV often but the first time I was chilling wit a shorty and she put on some BET+ or Starz show--I forget. One scene had a whole damn bare penis in the shot. You woulda never caught this even on premium cable back in the day.

Must have been starz. They are notorious for that kind of thing.

Yeah I think it was P Valley actually. Even then you wouldn't even see genitals on those lousy pornos they use to play on those channels so it was a shock, watching a cable show for the first time in decades and seeing all types of shyt.

The craziest shyt to me is that they have no problem showing a man's ass and dikk on TV no more, but it's still beneath our standards to show a vagina, or even a woman's bare ass on television.

Like cmon, America can handle seeing a black man's meat but a p*ssy is pushing it?
