Because it's been done so many times and it's mostly just cheesy stuff. There's really no new way to show people having sex in movies/shows.
Sex in movies peaked in Team America. You know the one.
I find myself watching older TV a lot because it's got way less graphic sex and violence. I don't want to see a person get ripped in half and their guts flying everywhere and i don't need to see every actress' boobs. sorry if that makes me a "prude" or whatever but it's way too much for my taste
My question would be how much of this is actors no longer being completely subjected to the gross wims of the director. How many scenes had little to do with a story and felt more like the director using the opportunity to make pretty people obey them.
We have intimacy directors now and what may also be happening is individuals having more say in production and in their bodily autonomy and I don't see that as an issue particularly.
Did random sex scenes really hit the level of art for you folks? Is pornography art the same way? 🤔 You know both are made for mass sale and consumption usually, the same way, much more than trying to make content to say anything.
But um "it so bad we block the titties!" or whatever is popular to say. Even though i personally don't remember many that added anything story related. Show me them bonding in a real way, sex doesn't cement anything if you've ever had a cheating partner, but a real collection of moments spent together between them that shows understanding and sacrifice for each other can really have an impact.
So sex is a vice now or just when its in a film?
It’s long been treated as a vice when practiced outside marriage. I disagree with that but it’s a thing
Usually if it pass the 20 seconds I reach for the keyboard to skip ahead.
I mean, who cares about smushys , I get it you are in love, lets go ahead
I wanna see this extended back to at least 1980, which was around the peak for nudity and sex scenes in film; after porn was legalized but before internet porn.
Is this what it feels like to be color blind and have people show you charts? Who the hell puts all the other comparison metrics in gray scale?
Another thing ruined by Gen Z. ;)

So glad it isn't us millennials ruining everything nowadays. Your turn, gen Z!
Roughly correlates with the rate of decrease in people 18-30 having sex. I'm not sure of the order of influence there, or if there even is one, but it's possible the declining presence of sex in media is a result of it being less relatable for something like 30% more young people than previous generations.
We need to go lower
It has no draw because we all have 24hr access to porn to the extent having it in a film is like having people take shits in film, like, yeah we all do this, but it's mostly gross so, no thanks.
Should it say mainstream movies since they only compare the top250?
And of course violence is way too high, damn puritans!
This person clearly hasn't found out about pornhub yet
Funny how the peak of sex in movies was right around the time Tommy Wiseau blessed the world with 3 sex scenes the first 30 minutes of one movie.
That man has a glorious ass and anyone who got turned off to sex in movies because of it deserves shame
I'd like to see the chart go back a lot further tbh
