Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, a new study finds. Those born between 1997 and 2012 apparently prefer to see platonic relationships in film and TV.
It’s far lamer to shoehorn in a long sex scene that doesn’t make sense. See sex in Sopranos, as I mentioned. It’s not overdone. It happens and we move on.

What doesn’t make sense about long sex scenes? They’re not exactly hard to follow.
Even still I’m not convinced that long sex scenes are ubiquitous in the way you are suggesting outside of things like fifty shade of grey.

You’re right, but you’re missing the forrest for the trees. Deliberately, I think.
