How many people here hate sex scenes in TV shows?

I've been watching The Americans. A lot of the show is just people talking in somewhat hushed voices, so I have to turn the volume up a good bit to hear.
Then they cut to the next scene which is some woman getting plowed and moaning her head off.
Sounds like I'm watching porn or something.

I wish there were more of them.

I hate gay men sex scenes, wish there were more of lesbian sex scenes.

I bet you only read playboy "for the articles"

This makes many of the so called best shows unwatchable to me. The Americans is just 1 example of a show I stopped watching because of this. I understand why otherwise poor shows put it in, for ratings, but if your show is good you don't need it.

So if the sex noises were lower in volume, you would be okay with it?

It's almost always gratuitous. It's sad that shows have to include them to pander to the low-IQ general population

And it's also annoying when it happens like 3 or 4 times in one show.

Oftentimes they add nothing to a show.

All I know is that my SO only ever walks into the room when I'm watching "House of Cards", "Archer", or "Game of Thrones" during a sex scene. She believes that that is literally all these shows are about

I mean if they're scenes like the few from season 1 of True Detective where sex and objectification of women is a major theme of the show and the scenes themselves advance the plot in a meaningful way, then I'm good with it.
The gratuitous scenes in shows where sex isn't an obvious theme or factor in the show just suck. If I want to watch idealized sex with all the fixings, I'll open my computer.

Get rid of the gay garbage and sex scenes. Shows like Quantico were over ran with sex

This begs the question: Is serendipity trying to make you out to be a pervert or is your SO subconsciously drawn to the siren call of TV sex moans?

Oh man, me too!! I just fricking hate when those things pop up on a show I'm watching, at least four or five times a day I get furious cause I have to watch that shite for like five minutes before the next scene starts. It's so annoying and I hate it.

It pissed me off when "Game of Thrones" started doing this. I watch it mostly on HBOGo so I just fast forward through the gay dude sex scenes and get on with the show. If I miss some crucial sexposition, so be it.

Are we talking softcore porn-esque sex scenes or nudity in general?
Softcore porn-esque sex scenes can get annoying when it's out of place with either the plot or cinematography. In something like the Spartacus series, sex scenes fit the scope.
As for nudity, there is never a wrong time.

Most of the time I feel they are in the show for shock value and adds nothing to the story. It seems they are trying to get away with more and more. HBO is turning into porn.

I tried to do that, but it always seems like they're saying somwething important right when two homos are going at it
So I'll have to rewind and watch it like six times just to make sure I hear everything that's going on, it's so annoying and I hate it.

I don't like sex scenes, I do like nudity. I liked the way it was done in shows like Spartacus for the most part. Where it's an accessory and not the focus of the scene.

Sex/honey pots were HUGE parts of Cold War espionage.
