    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.

      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.

        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.

            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.

      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.

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

          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.

            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

              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?

              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?

                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.

                  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.

                    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.
