I am not a teen.

    Poor Things I watched in an AMC, fuck off with that.

    You provided no examples and I provided multiple that are big films that played for massive audiences that sex is used for multiple reasons and not singulary one and gratuitous.

    I am not going to list 20 films cause you would deny them just as easily from your place of predetermined correctness.

      Yes. Indie films get national and international distribution. I’m not sure why you’re not aware of that. They are still not made within the Hollywood system.

      And you’re right, 20 films would not show evidence that most sex scenes in Hollywood films are about romance. I think you’re being a little silly about this. Romance stories are one of the most popular types of stories and have been for pretty much all of human history. Stories about rape and lust less so.

        Sex has reasons to exist and your issues with it are your own. It’s not just about them being not always about romance but about the characters when done right. They are not just about showing love in romance movies.

        You bring absolutely nothing to an argument other than your own sense of correct and force others to bring forward their points so you can ignore them. It’s, as always, a waste to reply to you.

          When did I ever say it was always about romance?

          This was the first comment that started the conversation which you then entered into:

          The sex scenes that most mainstream dramas have traditionally had are brief and not explicit.

          To which my response was:

          And also not necessary. You don’t need to see two people fucking to know they’re in love. I assume you don’t need to see your friends fucking to understand that they met someone they’re really into.

          We were talking about mainstream dramas.

          That is why I also said:

          And yet generally they’re romance scenes and not scenes involving lust or rape.

          I am not the one saying it. Hollywood is.

          And also why I said:

          Are you really going to use those to claim that most sex scenes in Hollywood movies and TV are not about romance?

          I mean I don’t know how I could have been more clear that I wasn’t talking about every case.
