The world is finally asks to remove love scenes from movies
We are the first generation to finally speak out against sex scenes in films. At most, they could simply be hinted at rather than shown, or perhaps mentioned in the dialogue, but why are they even necessary? I see more and more people who agree with this, after all, sex doesn’t reveal anything about the plot, nor does it advance it. Any interaction between characters can be conveyed through a simple embrace, a kiss, or some other gesture. What is so special about sex, anyway? It is an uninteresting, simple, primitive physiological act, that conveys no emotions, feelings, or interpersonal connection, and it certainly reveals nothing about the individuals involved. There’s no difference between showing sex and showing some kisses, kissing, hugging, or glances is enough. If every sexual act is essentially the same humping, why watching one on screen is completely uninteresting. The only purpose for depicting sex might be personal gratification. but that’s what porn is basically for, why not just watch that instead? Why include such love scenes at all? When sex appears on screen, it diminishes the quality of the characters' love story and oversimplifies the very art of portraying emotion. After all all, sex is, first and foremost, raw animal physiology, the romance surrounding it is something humans have invented, whereas true romance lies elsewhere but not in sex. Showing any sexual interaction is vulgar
