Gen Z wants less sex in movies

I remember hearing "Watch 'Swordfish' - you get to see Halle Berry's boobs!"
TBF, that is the best thing about Swordfish. If you're going to watch it, that's the reason.

It is not a good film. And yet...



I'm a little unsure about this. I think that some movies and entertainment do have gratuitous displays of sexual content, to the point that it barely manages to avoid the definition of pornography.. But there is going to be a lot of subjectivity involved in defining this (e.x. in a Muslim country, a woman showing her face in public could be considered "pornography", and my definition obviously isn't that strict).

I will say that my view on sex in entertainment is more "conservative" than it used to be, and I'm not sure what to use as an example of a "tasteful" portrayal of sex or nudity in movies or entertainment in general. (Maybe I could fall back on Song of Solomon in the Bible as an example and compare things to that).

If one pays $20 for a movie ticket then a bit of a peep show is the pay off I do think that's one of the selling points of an R movie you'll probably get a peep or two and that sells tickets.

In aesthetics, there is actually a fairly reliable measure we may use, tumescence.

In practical terms, it's a simple as counting the number of laughs an audience has in reaction to a comedy, however, this measure requires a bit more discretion in the phase of observation.
