It's kind of a bummer as it's nice to have a more artistic representation of sex outside of porn which is more of a commodity. Movies can connect the sexy scenes to the non-sexy scenes which potentially makes them more powerful. Also, movies can tie moral value to sex which is interesting to explore.

I am in favor of sex in movies making a comeback, as long as it doesn't create problems for the actors.

Have you ever seen Original Sin. That's the steamiest non-porn film I've ever seen, and it's actually a really good movie.

Usually if it pass the 20 seconds I reach for the keyboard to skip ahead.

Not just sex but the sexual tension/chemistry or whatever you wanna call it.

One example is Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in Spider-man trilogy vs Tom Holland and Zendaya in MCU movies. The former couple dated briefly but broke up before the production of second movie. Second one's are dating for almost 5 years (officially). Yet the Raimi movies have this chemistry that MCU movies lack. The relationship feels like checklist.

Another is Eva Green vs Lea Seydoux in Bond movies.

Drag doesn't think the Raimi couple have any chemistry. Peter and MJ are bad for each other. They don't know how to relationship. Tom and Zendaya are comfortable together. They're mutually supportive.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 25 points 21 hours ago

It basically moved to TV instead. Wonder how that statistic compares if they're counted together.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago

Go drugs! You got this!

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Good. I watch movies to be absorbed by the story, not to see tits.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

I'm definitely not opposed to tits in any situation.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Fast Forward has been a thing since like....the 80s

[–] kurushimi@sh.itjust.works 19 points 20 hours ago

Let me just go harass the theater workers to do that.

And of course violence is way too high, damn puritans!

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Exactly! I think this graph deserves a special line for puppet sex.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] angelmountain@feddit.nl 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Does this include Dutch movies?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

Nobody wants to see that

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if it’s linked to the decline in sex in real life due to young people staying inside more and playing video games instead of socializing. I swear I saw an article about that at some point on Lemmy (or maybe Reddit).

I just find it hard to believe that more films have drugs than profanity.

[–] vovo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You can't read the chard like that. Everything starts with 100. It shows the decrease/increase of each vice separately.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 4 points 15 hours ago

Oh, % of year 2000 values, ok I get now.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

I noticed this as well. I don't really care either way, just that it was noticeable. The other part I noticed is that if there is nudity, I feel like it's a way higher percentage that it's a male. I'm not going to lie if I had to choose I would rather see the other sex, but I understand we had way too long of a time with it being a one-way street.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Interesting, I thought I noticed this trend but never saw it quantified. I guess the public sentiment changed around '05 about sex in movies. Might be they just get it from pornhub now instead.
