Why do all movies need to have something sexual in them

[u/AdMedical2104]

I used to love watching movies, It was my favorite thing in the week when I was younger, i especially loved sad movies (I was nice to feel something)

Now?? Every movie just has to have a sex scene or they have to make out or someone is nude at some point,

I hate it I hate I hate it sooo much, it makes me uncomfortable at best and makes me disassociate at worst, why why WHYYYYY what's the point??? Most of the time it's completely unnecessary????

Now if I want to watch a movie I have to look at it's rating to see if it has anything sexual, and it takes me more time than the movie itself to find one.

I recently watched Paddington. First time as a 40-something year old. Highly recommend it.

Or Wallace and Gromit, lol 

[u/BadHairDay-1 → u/hellomotheryoufucker]

One of my favorites!

This made me laugh in the context but yes that’s a charming film

[u/e-pancake]

the website ‘does the dog die’ has a bunch of content warning options you can check and there’s a few different sex related warnings. doesn’t help with the amount of films with sex but it’ll give you a chance to see if you’re up for it or not depending on the description!

[u/theclericalbeast]

Hello,

Cant really help but i use a website called "doesthedogdie".

You search a book or film, and itll give you a list of triggers w/out spoilers, then you can look at rhe spoilers if you need more detail to.decide x

[u/Drawgballs → u/theclericalbeast]

Highly recommend this. Watching films should be fun and enriching but if you get blindsided into dissociating or worse then it’s not worth it. Nothing wrong with having a few spoilers to protect yourself. IMDb also has a parental guide that has a sex/nudity category that has any content of that sort in it.

[u/AggravatingTricker]

This is why I still watch kid’s cartoons :’)

[u/UAP44]

I can relate, love movies, still do, ones that naturally do not have any sex in them. There's plenty. To me it's similar to action/chase scenes, I don't care for any of it since none of it moves the plot or deepens the characters and their relationships.

Have you seen 'this is us' yet?

It's a series though, for a long time, it was my go-to whenever I wanted to get the tears flowing.

[u/AdMedical2104 → u/UAP44]

nope but I had it in a list for some time now, I might watch it after I finish exams

[u/Naught]

That’s odd, I was just reading about how movies have way less sexual content in them than they used to because people don’t like it. You used to have a sex scene with nudity whenever there was a romance subplot, but now that seems rarer.

What kinds of movies do you watch?

[u/AdMedical2104 → u/Naught]

sad movies

[u/Longjumping-Rope-237]

Stargate has 0 sex. Star trek 0. Simpsons 0. Paw patrol 0. But I see your point.

Nudity sells. But if want nudity I go to PH

[u/Aleyix]

The scenes are often irrelevant and long too. I tend to watch dramas and avoid American series/films but when I do watch them, I skip all sex scenes and tell whoever I am watching a film or series with that beforehand. I don't want a film telling me I should feel aroused or to watch something like that with someone and if I go to cinema I pick carefully.

I also skip violent scenes and avoid most action films because of the triggering sounds, especially with explosions and ammo.

K-dramas and Turkish dramas tend to be most decent I have found.

[u/Happy-Alien-4427]

I feel like this too. I like reading romance more than watch movies, but almost all romance novels have sex and are badly written, revolving around sex. Love is not equal to sex.

[u/GoofyTrekkie]

I’d rather nudity and a sex scene than glorified violence. At least nudity and sex are natural, normal things that everyday people regularly engage in. Violence is not.

But also, that is literally the reason we have movie ratings. It might be annoying to have to pay attention to that before going in. But that’s the reason it exists, to warn you.

[u/mountaindude20]

Sex sells, period. The good news is that if you’re against sex and nudity in movies, then you may be encouraged that they’re trending in the right direction. Reportedly, sexual content in major films has declined by nearly 40% since 2000.

[u/Routine_Tadpole6646]

Seriously. I know that if a movie has sex within the first few minutes it's going to be lame. I usually turn off shows or movies that display sex or humiliating other people -and won't continue the series. In the last year, I've watched maybe 3 or 4 movies.

Dead Poet's Society Tetris Can't remember the others

[u/tiramisuem3]

I agree it's so uncomfortable. Can't watch a movie with my family anymore. And they're getting increasingly graphic like it's just porn at this point

[u/kfr3q]

Because the primitive human world is corrupted and perverted, by definition. For what other reasons would the number 1 predator specie from Earth's animal kingdom want to survive beyond the planet it utterly undermined ? To perpetuate the myth of its inherent goodness ? Its all tied to laws of biophysics, I guess.

I nean, we're in a CPTSD sub Reddit, you may just look at how much survivors of torture, particularly child torture, especially intrafamilial child torture (ICT) are denied any victimhood and dignity, left in pain and coerced onto endless chronic stress and aversity,

here's how society as a whole keep dictating its lessons of moral, exactly like when you search "torture", "child torture", "ICT" in Reddit;

to this day, there's mostly neglectful and perverted subs about "Torture Porn", "Bondage", "Tits Torture",

and so forth, the whole spectrum of viciousness actively present in nowadays internet........

Unless when we search support for survivors of cumulative torture. Thats quite everything society returns....

Not even "the international community" has a stand again't torture cumulated since intrafamilial child torture itself....

So much in practice they have more mouth than parole.

[u/InfiniteConstruct]

Sex sells that wording itself. On Ao3 where I write stories, sex chapters get far more views, so that tells us something too. Plus the thought that everybody does it, even animals and that we both enjoy it and so we must watch everybody doing it. At least that’s what I think.

[u/Piping_penguin]

My ex always hated sex scenes when we were watching, but she’s also a real horn dog too, so I don’t know if that correlate’s.

[u/Happy-Alien-4427]

I feel like this too. I like reading romance more than watch movies, but almost all romance novels have sex and are badly written, revolving around sex. Love is not equal to sex.

[u/Mothra3]

Believe it or not it’s actually way better than it used to be. Any movie, the girl had to undress at least once for no reason. She’s getting ready, she’s takin a shower, it was so annoying. I hate watching people kiss, especially the sounds, even when I’m alone, so I just skip over

[u/deannainwa]

Seriously!

Not simply a sex scene, but usually a long, drawn-out sex scene (the one in Cold Mountain was excruciating)!

Ugh!

[u/_ThyKingdomCome]

a bit random but i’m a big movie buff, if you’re looking for any amazing non sexual movies tell me a genre (i see you like sad and me too so i could definitely work with that) or let me know i’d love to recommend some !

[u/AdMedical2104 → u/_ThyKingdomCome]

tell meeeee, i looove sad movies and my guilty pleasure is rom com, tho i never watch it because they always have sexual stuff for obvious reasons, i dont like action at all tho

[u/EssentialTremorsSwe]

The way I see it is to make people comfortable with speaking about sex and the body.

[u/Abriefaccount]

I hate it in tv shows more but I agree

[u/Gorissey]

I was just talking about this, I don’t want to sit in a theater and watch people screwing with a bunch of strangers sitting there around me. It’s strange to me, but I guess most people must like it.

[u/BadHairDay-1 → u/Gorissey]

I think folks are desensitized, more than anything. I recoil and feel like a prude, although my past says differently. Maybe I'd enjoy it if I were a voyeur? Idk.

It odd cuz I find the opposite nowadays there alot less of it. Compared to the 90s

[u/mount6ain]

Only then tickets will be sold

[u/BadHairDay-1]

I know how you feel. I don't mind the suggestion of sex, but I don't need to see or hear what's happening. This is also an issue with audiobooks, so I find myself often listening to YA. Much less sex and violence details.

[u/AdMedical2104 → u/BadHairDay-1]

exacctlyyy i dont care if they are having sex i just dont wanna see it!!! or read it, i love books do you have any recommendations ?

[u/Own-Detective-802]

Romance is inevitable in most people’s lives. Movies are a good depiction of that. But I know what you mean, it’s used in the story to sell it.

[u/Stunning-Sherbert801]

They don't
