    Tbf, I’m definitely more comfortable watching simulated violence with my parents than simulated sex

      99% of people are, but just think about that for a second.

      In all civilized societies, sex is a normal thing that occurs regularly, and violence and gore is much much rarer and very traumatic to most people. The vast majority of parents had sex to make their children, yet watching actors simulate sex with our parents or children is much more uncomfortable than watching actors simulate violence. It’s really bizarre when you divorce it from our normal hang-ups.

        Yes, but sex scenes have the tendency to make people horny. I don’t want to be horny around my parents. On the flip side, violence doesn’t create a feeling of bloodlust, so there’s nothing to be uncomfortable about.
