Hollywood sex scenes have declined by 40% since 2000

The advent of explicit films such as Poor Things, Saltburn and All of Us Strangers has been heralded as marking a revival of sex on screen – in the face of a reported lack of interest from Gen Z audiences. However, a new report suggests that in fact the Hollywood sex scene is declining fast: there is almost 40% less sexual content in major films than there was at the start of the millennium.
Commissioned by the Economist from data analyst Stephen Follows, the report assembled data on the 250 highest-grossing films each year since 2000, and found movies released in 2023 had just over 60% of the erotic content found in the top 250 in 2000. Broken down by genre, the decline was steepest in action movies (a drop of approximately 70% over the same period) – while romantic films recorded much less change, with a drop of just under 20%.
At the same time, the percentage of top-grossing films with no sexual content at all jumped significantly, from about 18% in 2000 to 46% in 2023. Follows concludes that this is “the biggest driver of this reduction in sexual content” – not only are there fewer sex acts on screen, but they are concentrated in proportionately fewer movies.

One thing I noticed is the lack of tiddies in House of the Dragon compared to the first few seasons of Game of Thrones

Premium series are going nearly hardcore, so HBO is single-handedly trying to catch up.

Good.
I understand their role in films before the internet. But you can just allude to them fricking. Watching them pretend to frick for 5 minutes is a waste of runtime.

I like a nice chest as much as the next guy, but you can really tell when a show or movie is overcompensating for bad writing by throwing unnecessary sex in there. Also, when an otherwise good show has extended sex scenes it can feel out of place and bring the story to a halt.

That's because they are just making comic book movies for adult children.

They want them sold in repressive countries and cultures, so no toys for you…

But the dick scenes have increased by tenfold

It’s not a masterpiece of a film unless they show 1 female nipple

I don't know man, Sydney Sweeney in the Voyeurs was not a waste of runtime.

The older I get, the less I care for gratuitous sex scenes. They make me uncomfortable, especially in mixed company.
Now when I was a teen: the beaver shot in Hard Target was like the greatest thing ever.

My desire to watch Hollywood films has declined 100%.

internet porn killed it

If you cut the scenes, that reduces the "intimacy coordinator" budget by 100%.

hard to have sex scenes when they are forcing the gay agenda. Can't watch a movie without something being thrown in for no reason or context whatsover.
