Well that's the rub no? Gen Z is the most sexless generation. People are getting older without having sex is increasingly more common. The desire for sexless media is probably just linked to that.

yeah, I don't like sex scenes either but I'm not really sure why. maybe because it doesn't seem relatable. it also kinda seems like a cheap gimmick to maintain the audience's interest, like putting corn syrup in food for no reason. I did once see someone saying that younger people may be jaded from there being so much porn on the internet, and negatively associate movie sex scenes with that, which also makes sense to me.

I mean, I haven't had sex myself and I don't think about it too much but I still recognize that it's something that's massively important as an aspect of human life and artists want to depict it.

I don't disagree, but I just think this may be related to the relative shift in views on it
