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.
Yeah that’s fair. It sounds like something very appropriate for an American audience given how prude and repressed they tend to be. I’m sure it’s good, but I’m currently more into mystery stuff. Hence the title “Who is Erin Carter” and the ominous trailer really set these expectations, only for my interest to drop at all the shagging.
I realise that makes me sound quite prude. I’m actually a massive slut, just not interested in watching actors getting it on. I want thrill, and suspense.
I also feel like for most films/shows, including the sex scene is just pandering to people who enjoy that. Which is fine. Sometimes it might relate to character development, but the development rarely happens during the actual scene, other than “these two shagged.” Often you could’ve just “summarised” it by showing the afterglow or whatever.
More than that, I feel like you can tell great stories without ever really involving sex. I don’t actually think about sex all the time, but when films and TV is so rife with it, you get the impression that the producers absolutely do.
