pulaskiwasright,

Somehow gen z’s early exposure to porn has made them more prudish than the religious. Literally. I’ve Seen so many posts on Reddit and had real life conversations with gen z people where they’ve said that they hate when couples publicly say their trying for a baby because it means they’re being “creampied” and that’s awkward for them.

Socsa,

To be fair, it is pretty awkward when people talk about where they are shooting their cum. Keep that shit to yourself.

surewhynotlem,

Yeah, that’s nothing to do with porn, and everything to do with the awkwardness of your coworkers talking about banging their spouses at work.

pulaskiwasright,

that’s incredibly prudish to not even want someone to say they’re trying for a baby.

surewhynotlem,

It’s weird for two reasons. One, if you struggle to get pregnant it puts a lot of external pressure on you and you’ll have to go back and let people know you’re potentially infertile. Two, talking about biological things isn’t appropriate in some settings. I don’t want to hear about your colonoscopy. I don’t want to hear that you’re raw dogging your wife. I don’t want to hear about you surgery. Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

pulaskiwasright, (edited )

That sounds lonely. We all live together. Sharing is a much better default than walling everyone off and judging everyone for sharing really basic parts of life is kind of sad. Obviously there are limit, but “we’re trying to have a baby” and “I’m having surgery” shouldn’t be something that we’re pressured to not share.

tryptaminev,

I find it more weird that your coworkes talking about trying to get a child results in you imagening them “raw dogging”.

When one of my coworkers had a child born i also didn’t make a point of imagening the delivery process. I just congratulated them and asked them jokingly how much sleep they caught the last night.

Dkarma,

Keep ur personal life to yourself.

SgtAStrawberry,

Reminds me of some post I read on Reddit regarding a Rimworld sex mod. So many people thought it was completely immoral and had no place in the game.

A game in which you can kidnap and cannibalis children, make clothes of their skin and sell it, a game where you can strap people to a bed, steal all of their organs, cut of their lega so they cant escape and keep them as a blood transfusion slave for ever. Missionary sex between a married couple in their own bed room is wrong and immoral.

That was definitely one of the weirdest takes I have read in a while, still is.

tryptaminev,

This i can understand though. It is not that the sex itself would be immoral. It is that putting the sex into the context of this violence is immoral.

And i have to say i find this important. Sex to me is an expression of affection with my partner and “sacred” for that. I don’t want it tainted with the banality of pornography or the psychotic issues that make people connect sex and violence.

ArcaneSlime,

I gave up on movies in like '09. No I do not want to see your 5,000th Marvel movie or remake of an 80s movie, regardless of sex scenes, thanks.

terny,

There’s been great movies made, not all movies are giant studios trying to maximize profits.

520,

But where do we go to find them?

terny,

Look at movies that go through film festivals like Cannes or Sundance.

520,

Good tips and I'll write them down

ArcaneSlime,

Tbf I do know that, I have a small “I’ll get to it” list. I’m done with theatres though.

Off the top of my head the list is

1917 Dune

Other than that I do like troma and dumb stuff like that.

HawlSera,

As much as I like the Marvel movies, or rather did, the problem is that they were never a series of movies, and it could be argued that they should not be taken seriously as pieces of Cinema at least as far as movies are concerned. Because they are not movies, it’s more of a continuous show where all the episodes are very long and very expensive. None of them can truly be considered a self-contained experience. Which is a problem the comic book industry faces all the time as they need to continuously find ways to keep things recognizable yet continuously moving in new directions, there isn’t a chance to actually sit down and tell and develop a single story like there is for manga

wilberfan,
@wilberfan@lemmy.world avatar

That’s oddly about the time I started to become disenchanted with most contemporary cinema. Both parents worked in the Industry, dad was a voting member of the Academy for many years. The Oscars were–no exaggeration–the Holiest night on our family calendar. I even got to attend in person once. (The one where Benigni climbed up on the furniture–'99.)

Then THE ARTIST won best picture (2011). 🤦‍♂️

I stopped watching the Oscars completely about 5 years ago. The only enthusiasm I can muster anymore is new films by old masters (PTA, Scorsese, Tarantino, etc.)

zipzoopaboop,

Just make something that isn’t the exact same fucking thing I’ve seen 12 times, fuck

nomecks, (edited )

I think Team America: World Police proved that boring Hollywood sex isn’t what the people want.

Mamertine,

It makes the studio money so it’s what gets green lit. Trying something new is risk. If could tank. Status quo FTL.

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Recycling scripts and dragging 80 year old actors out of retirement makes for cheaper SEO and a higher gross from millennials/boomers.

New shit is risky, which means lower yield into the next quarter.

Also, copywriter/contract laws require media to use it or lose it. So you’re going to get an X-Men movie every five years whether you like it or not.

Natanael,

Copyright is NOT use it or lose it. Franchising licensing contracts might occasionally have such terms but that’s not the primary reason, these companies just don’t like risk

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Franchising licensing contracts might occasionally have such terms

X-Men and Spiderman both revert to Marvel if they aren’t used… I want to say every five years.

Fantastic Four was acquired by Disney in '19, so that one is a moot point.

UnculturedSwine,

Millennial here. I’ve always found random sex scenes obnoxious. It completely kills the pacing and pulls me out of the story. If you need sex for character development, you can much more easily allude to it and move on. The only time I can think of when it actually made sense for the story was in the movie Her and it was such a mild scene that didn’t have any visuals.

Ferris,
binomialchicken,

I somehow feel like my life has been enriched.

FutileRecipe,

The only time I can think of when it actually made sense for the story…

Never watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry?

520,

I think it worked for some early GOT moments too. It showed the monster that Khal Drogo really was, for example

bibliotectress,

She gave consent in the book, although she was still only like 14 because George RR Martin is a creeper. So not really consent, but not quite like the show.

9bananas,

calling him a creep for using historically accurate depictions of medieval marriage is…going a bit far…

the story is set in a medieval world. so how is it creepy to use real medieval culture in the context of the story?

ArtificialLink,

It was cool as shit in blade runner 2049

Mchugho,

Why are young people so offended by nudity? Get over yourselves and stop pushing to censor creativity. This is the generation that thinks Marvel represents high class cinema so I suppose I shouldn’t take it too seriously.

JPSound,

For years everyone questioned why literally everything is so overly sexualized. Every plot, every ad, every spare moment when sex is shoehorned into literally everything we see, watch and hear in media. Now, the young adults are sayin, “nah, fuck that” and I dont disagree with that response. I think it’s less them being offended as you’re making it out to be and more just wanting something different besides the status quo. Its unwise and unhelpful to shit on these kids at every turn. Previous generations said the same thing about your generation when you were that age.

Edit: typo

Mchugho,

I find it all to be weirdly puritanical, then and now. They are more offended by tits than violence which is mind boggling.

Sex is a healthy, natural part of life. Violence is not, yet Gen Z choose to be more offended by the former.

Do us a favour and stop watching R rated films if you can’t hack it.

calypsopub,

It’s a natural part of life but so is pooping and I don’t want to watch anybody do that on screen either. Fade to black. Same with extreme violence. These things can be an important part of the story without being shown graphically.

Mchugho,

Pooping doesn’t quite elicit the same emotions between characters as sex now does it? The fact that you’ve even compared the two is wild. Even then I have seen some fantastic pooping scenes in films (Trainspotting).

How about letting directors treat film goers as adults?

Draedron,

No one is offended by it. Its just boring. I would prefer the movie to be 10 minutes shorter than have a 10 minutes sex scene in it.

Mchugho,

Of course people are offended by it. Have you seen this thread? It’s people who find the very idea of sex to be disgusting rather than a beautiful part of life.

calypsopub,

Watching other people drool over each other and exchange bodily fluids is just cringe.

Mchugho,

If you think that’s all that’s happening during sex scenes I feel a little bit sorry for you.

LazyBane,

Most sex scenes these days and done for the sake of creativity.

Mchugho,

They aren’t though. People complain about the nudity in Oppenheimer as being gratuitous but it was a creative way to show how uncomfortable and vulnerable Robert was in that interrogation.

I literally can’t think of another example of a sex scene in recent films because cinema is already becoming more childish and sanitised.

polle,

Iam not gen z and not offended by nudity, but mostly i find it doesn’t add to the story if the sex scenes are played out. If i want porn, i just watch porn.

Mchugho,

It’s not porn it’s a sex scene.

“Show don’t tell” is the golden rule of film making. It’s way better to show relationships between people than allude to them. Of course sex scenes add to stories, sex is a normal and life changing part of people’s lives and that should be reflected in our arts and culture.

polle,

For sure they do, but in some series its nearly porn and doesn’t add to the story.

Mchugho,

Two characters having intimate relations nearly always adds to the story. Very often it’s a major plot point. I don’t know what you’re watching where two characters going at it doesn’t advance the plot in any way.

polle,

I have seen the first season of the series the article shows. Which had more sex scenes than the plot could handle.

Probably its just what they think the target group likes.

And you are not getting my point. People having sex on tv is ok. Having 10+ Minute sex scenes is unnecessary and doesn’t add to the story.

Mchugho,

I don’t think 10 minute sex scenes are super common though.

But again even when they exist, of course it advances the story. Nothing changes dynamics between people like sex in reality.

Why would media show every facet of life except sex? That’s a far weirder prospect to me.

polle,

Lol, i never said “dO nOt ShOw AnY sEx ScEne”

Mchugho,

I just despise the way that people want to stifle creativity and place limits on what is and isn’t acceptable in media based on their own personal squeamishness and morals.

You might think ten minutes are too long. If you do it’s your right to turn it off and not watch without going on a moral rant about how it’s unnecessary.

520,

Okay, but what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging? What additional point are you making that warrants not cutting to the next scene after that point has been established?

Lots of film and show makers don't ask these questions when they make their sex scenes so the result is boring filler.

Mchugho,

TV shows aren’t just streams of information to be imbibed by the viewer like the manual for your car.

520,

You're still failing to answer the first question:

what exactly does it add once you've made your point that they're banging?

Because...it's not entertaining either. If I wanted to watch people bang, I'd just go find some porn.

Mchugho,

There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things. Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery.

Thinking TV sex is anywhere close to pornographic in it’s current iteration is laughable

520,

There is no point talking to you because you don’t realise different people find different values in different things.

Sorry, I put this through my translator but all I got out was 'i don't actually have a point to make so I'm just going to pretend I won the argument'. Is this correct?

Some people would rather their TV reflected the reality of human relationships rather than being a sanitised mockery

It's cute that you think the kinds of shows that have sex scenes are anything other than a mockery of human relationships in themselves. Do you not actually pay attention to the plots?

Mchugho,

How can you even make this argument without even referencing a show? I get it, you’re offended by boobs. Move on with your existence.

520,

How can you even make this argument without even referencing a show?

Halo. MC goes to interrogate an enemy prisoner of war and literal enemy of humanity. Ends up sleeping with them.

Game of Thrones. Multiple instances, usually including rape, incest, prostitution.

Mchugho,

The first I can’t comment on. Sounds daft, but also sounds like some plot development occurs.

Game of Thrones was literally better and truer to the source material with nudity. The sex scenes 100% added to the tone of the show and showcased many important arcs.

JPSound,

I work in the film business and have been on seta making the biggest movies in the world, even some of those Marvel super hero movies you mentioned. And Although I dont disagree at all those movies are really the lowest common denominator, film making for mainstream consumption is FAR less artistically expressive and driven than what most may realize. Indie films are generally far more creative during the writing and filming process and generally dive deeper into stories that absolutely merit sexual content. I dont think that’s what they are saying though. This is about mainstream media and just wanting something more creative than the same old shit time and time again in relation to sexual content. And I think that’s a fair perspective. There’s true art in film and then there’s the shit on TV and those two are nearly completely seperate.

wilberfan,
@wilberfan@lemmy.world avatar

A Boomer here, and I’m finding these comments to be very interesting–mostly because I’m realizing I agree in many cases! Far from prudish, just last night I fast-forwarded past the sex scenes in the first episode of a new streamer series. “Yeah, yeah, I get it…you’re hot for each other. Can we move it along, please?”

Dkarma,

It’s just gen z being pragmatic. We don’t need sex in movies cuz we have unlimited better porn.

Smoogs,

gen z being pragmatic

There it is again. People acting like genZ are the first to say no and protest to things…. This simply isn’t true.

Genz didn’t invent this idea of protesting it . Women against pornography was formed in the 60s. So we know people have been bothered by it for more than one generation and people have tried to act against it.

I don’t think this should be a generation topic. Film makers are by far and large trying to get people to watch their shit using gags and named actors. they use sex and violence in film like capitalists use sugar and salt in food to get people to consume it. It’s a crutch.

Dkarma,

They’re not against it it’s just so cliche as to be cringe. Genz is not prude…hahaha wow

Smoogs,

And you thought that is a new thought that you yourself invented? Maybe you should Crawl out of your own ass.

Dkarma,

I’m not gen z u fucktard

tryptaminev,

I find this so funny, how a lot of “Boomer media” makes such a fuss about discovering that Gen Z ist also just normal people, with some more progressed ideas and ideals but also tired of being overloaded with information and media.

I think part of it now is that they also realize that half of the fads they have been making up about how the youth of the 2000/2010 era with how sex, violence and drugs craving it alledgely was, were just bullshit.

greenskye,

How does Gen Z feel about nudity in films? Either nudity that fits the scene and feels logical or nudity just for fan service?

I’m cool if your just not a fan of shoe horned in and cringey sex scenes, but lots of younger folks come off as weirdly puritanically prudish to me. Why are we so much more comfortable with casual violence than casual nudity? That bothers me.

SasquatchBanana,

I feel like Gen Z are very conservative when it comes to sex and nudity and not just in films. The amount of swerfs and “sex positive” individuals is staggering.

klemptor,

Oh I’m gonna hate myself for asking this but wtf is a swerf

alekwithak,

Sex worker-exclusionary radical feminist, apparently.

SasquatchBanana,

Sex-worker Exclusionary Radical Feminists. They are individuals who are against sex work and workers to the point of sexual confinement. From my experience, most are sex negative, puritanical, and end up supporting policies that increase abuse.

klemptor,

Jesus christ. I’m learning that anything ending in “ERF” is probably something I’m not gonna like.

SCB,

Gen Z in the macro sense is a very prudish generation. It’s weird because they clad themselves in sex-positivity, and are conceptually pro-sexuality, but individually are often quite prudish and reserved.

Very broad brush, of course.

hanekam,

Isn’t this just typical of how young people are?

SCB,

This is very different from my personal lives experience, and those of most people I know, but again my entire point here is that I don’t really know the current experience of young people.

All I have is a really broad brush.

rwhitisissle,

Short answer: no. Long answer: also, no.

Meowoem,

I wonder to what extent that it could be an observation bias? genZ are very online and very used to having a public persona that’s safe and detached - it’s very true that online most genZ seem almost corporate, they’re less likely to say something wild than the Wendy’s lady.

When I think of the ones I actually interact with personally very few of them are like that, obviously this is likely to be selection bias but in person or private conversation they’re very different to their social media persona.

They’re a very nervous and shy generation because they’ve been so in the spotlight on social media, their parents are generally at least internet aware too so it’s not like the private world it was for us. I wonder if they’re just more used to guarding their statements.

cricket97,

because sex and violence are not really comparable

rwhitisissle,

It’s a genuinely fascinating topic and I kind of want to see if there’s any research on why this is the case.

SgtAStrawberry,

As a Gen Z I wonder the exact same thing, and that violence seemsto be better than nudity bothes me too.

Personally I’m perfectly fine with nudity in media be it fitting or fan service.

If something bothers me about nude scenes or sex scenes for that matter, it isn’t about the nudity or sex in of it self, but more so that extremely shoehornd in romance and sex just because it has to happen if a male and female lead or support, spends any amount of time together.

I really hate that sort of practice and I much more prefer a crime movie with two friends as the main characters. Over the same crime movie but now they have to be in love, because one of them happened to be a woman. Of it’s a good love story or it makes sense I buy it, but more of the time it really doesn’t.

And as this is a very common trope in movies, this dose lead to me choosing movie that doesn’t feature romance or sex at all. Because that is easier than trying to find one that doesn’t just shoehorn the stuff in for the sack of it.

fosforus,

or fan service.

I don’t get this. Why is fan service fine? I thought it’s as vapid as graituous sex.

SCB,

Things are allowed to just be fun.

fosforus,

Like graituous sex?

SCB,

Yes, though the word “gratuitous” is a bit loaded, but I understand that’s just common parlance.

finkrat,

We can tell when a movie is being sold by the one sex scene in it and if that is the case, there isn’t much value to the movie

DunkelLicht,

It never bothered me as a kid, but now for some reason I get triggered by the way Hollywood portrays romance. Why is everyone such a HUGE slut? It’s such a huge turn off. It is actually really hard to find a film that portrays a healthy loving monogamous relationship.

MinusPi,
@MinusPi@yiffit.net avatar

Defining a healthy relationship as strictly monogamous

starcat,

That’s not the only way to interpret it. I read it as “healthy AND loving AND monogamous”, meaning monogamous relationships do get tons of recognition, but they’re often very unhealthy relationships.

Duamerthrax,

Turns out, the people who have private sex islands have a terrible view on relationships.

It’s not even just about the sex scenes. How many loving sitcom couples/families routinely lie to each other?

ThatFembyWho,

First of all. Are there any stories without sex/romance? I personally would love the occasional platonic story. About people who aren’t all trying to get in eachothers pants.

I’m not Gen Z (Millenial) but I do get tired of being bombarded with sex, making out, etc. If it’s done well and integral to the plot, then it’s fine. But honestly less is more. Do I really need a camera to closeup pan the full length of someone’s naked body to realize what’s going on? After a while it just gets weird, like I am legit waching porn here, am I supposed to be aroused?

The other problem is how flawless they look. I wouldn’t mind seeing some real, average looking people for a change. Hold hands or awkwardly kiss after knowing eachother a few months or years, not like “oh hi we just met and it’s the two of us alone how convenient hehe guess there’s nothing left to do but use our perfect bodies for totally fake sex”.

Has anyone ever had sex and thought afterwards, wow that was just like TV/movies/whatever? In my experience it’s both more awkward and way hotter. They’re not going to script all the little things we enjoy in reality…

TSG_Asmodeus,

First of all. Are there any stories without sex/romance?

Alien and Aliens stand out, and as the poster below said, Dredd as well.

evranch,

Are there any stories without sex/romance?

Dredd 2012. Judge Dredd takes on a female apprentice Anderson for a training day. They mop the floor with gangsters and crooked cops. It’s a non-stop action thrill ride.

No romance. No sexual tension. They do their jobs.

TSG_Asmodeus,

Dredd 2012. Judge Dredd takes on a female apprentice Anderson for a training day. They mop the floor with gangsters and crooked cops. It’s a non-stop action thrill ride.

I absolutely love the part when Dredd is extremely injured and basically walking wounded, Anderson saves him from being executed, and it’s the perfect time for the Hollywood ‘Anderson nurses Dredd back from near death.’

But what happens? Dredd just field dresses himself, and it’s not romantic, at all. She literally covers him while he does it, and then they move on.

pelerinli,

Are there* any stories without sex/romance?

There can be. But what if that made you to look other problems of the life? Like poverty and misguided education to help capitalism or like health problems caused by environmental changes or war for drug money? That is why they stick to the emotional side of humans, love of a partner or care of a parent.

Rokk,

Space Jam

IHaveTwoCows,

For some reason Hollywood thinks we need sex scenes even though some of the greatest films of all time have none, especially in the sci-fi/horror genre… Alien, The Thing, Event Horizon, E.T., Predator, all of the MCU, etc

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

What TV-series is this: «Tits and dragons»

Peddlephile,

Doom, Event Horizon, Hereditary, Silence of the Lambs, The Big Short, Frank… There’s heaps of movies out there for us people who steer well clear of romance. They’re just not mainstream and I’m fine with that.

The only romance movies I really like are The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates and the 1995 Pride and Prejudice series. I think it’s because the characters actually have depth and are fun to watch.

HawlSera,

Actually I think they have the same problem with it we Millennials do, and that we don’t find it Charming when a guy acts like a total creep and is rewarded for it because the movie was written by total creeps. Or if our lead is a woman, I’m tired of hearing about how successful and fulfilled she is with her brilliant career that no one takes seriously, because she hasn’t found the right man yet, but then she does and discovers that all of her problems are solved by his penis. Because those movies are also made by creeps

Syringe,

I was thinking this too. Also, not EVERYTHING needs to have a love story jammed into it. There are so many situations that you can tell they shoehorned one in in order to pull a specific demo and it’s totally not necessary for the story

j4k3,
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Who wants to watch softcore nonsense involving people doing things that are not how sex actually works? Gen Z is first gen to come of age when porn is prolific. Mainstream film can’t compete with step siblings getting stuck on the interwebs.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Most senior? Gen X here. I got my porn from the Internet too. Just before the web existed. We used Usenet and Gopher.

LemmyIsFantastic,

All 12 of you 🤣

I went on the side of caution. At some point early 90s, it became more popular outside of the limited users of computers.

Son_of_dad,

I’ve also found that gen z aren’t as sex crazed as we were, I felt like I had a monkey on my back and had to screw everything. Gen z is more aware of the consequences, and they have other shit to keep them occupied, we were bored a lot.

bus_factor,

As an elder millennial, porn has been prolific longer than you think. Late 90s and early 2000s LAN parties were half playing video games and half copying vast amounts of porn from each other.

tryptaminev,

And how many people went to LAN parties?

Those were the Nerds, the weirdos that spent halft their free time on a computer and talking about how to get faster internet. For the “cool kids” i think a lot were the magazines or someone stealing a VCR from their dads private collection.

ImFresh3x,

Every town and city I ever went in the early 2000s to had multiple crowded LAN centers. It was definitely mainstream, and definitely wasn’t just geeks. Pretending file sharing was not mainstream by 2000 is like pretending Star Wars is only for nerds.

Way out of touch.

bus_factor,

It was more mainstream than you’d think in Norway at least. I was easily the nerdiest one at the local one I attended at the time.

jaybone,

Stealing a VCR. Oh man…

The VCR was the player. You might call the tape or cassette a VHS, as there were two types of cassette. The other less popular being beta max.

Zpiritual,

Eeh, swede here but a majority of men in my generation (90s) were probably at dreamhack at one point or another during their teens. Not to mention homeparties. Girls is less obviously but many of those went too

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I’m 36 and had internet porn since before I got puberty.

But yeah, I agree. I skip sex scenes now. I don’t feel like they add anything. Like you can just cut out all the nude backs and moaning and nothing of value would be lost. We get it, they had sex, move on.

DogMuffins,

41 here. No internet before puberty. I remember watching late night TV hoping for a few seconds of smooching and maybe even boobs.

j4k3,
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Most of us had it, but most were on things like family computers trying to be covert about it. Capacitive touch screen phones changed everything for access. No one was getting imaginative with the snake game on a Nokia 3310 back in the day.

IHaveTwoCows,

Maybe now Guillermo DelToro can make “In The Mountains Of Madness”, his dream oroject which kept getting rejected because “there is no love interest in the story”. FUCK HOLLYWOOD.

Meanwhile, younger generations are getting all kinds of ass without any psychotic inhibitions so a sex scene just looks stupid to them, and has nothing to do with the story.

HawlSera,

I don’t think they’re getting all kinds of ass, I mean in cells are still a thing
