That’s a reasonable position. The movie industry has definitely been weird about sex in a lot of ways, especially with regard to the women in front of the camera.

But I’m really not advocating that we need some particular quota of sex scenes in our media, I’m more disturbed by the reason that number is decreasing. It’s not because the creatives making these movies are pushing for it. In this case the director was forced to cut out his sex scenes because the test audiences immediately started squirming in their seats like a bunch of school kids. To me that seems like an extremely unhealthy relationship with sex. And that’s in line with a general trend I’m sensing of the world getting increasingly prudish and puritanical.

Doesn’t help that the other two responses I got here are acting like I should be self flagellating for enjoying Pillion last week.
