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.
I have a standing wager with my friends that there has never been a filmed or written sex scene that needed to be included in the media. Talk about it, allude to it, show the ramifications of it, but there has never been one that needed to be there. Sex scenes are there to sell TnA, not to move the plot forward.
For an example of a close call. In A History of Violence, Viggo rapes his wife. This is about as close as you could come to a needed scene because it shows a wild character development, but if you were to cut the scene out entirely, you’d still get all of the character development that he gets from the scene, anyway, rendering it useless.

By this logic there has never been a scene of any kind in any movie that needed to be there.
That’s the point, like, read a book, dork!
The only scenes that matter are the load bearing ones, apparently
Have you seen Biodome?
I’m trying to imagine Zach and Miri Make A Porno without any sex scenes in it.
