F in chat.

...because it's not in the movie.

This chart makes me wonder about cigarette smoking specifically. It feels like if you looked back 40 years it would be a "U".

Gotta maximize the target market on everything to get the most clicks and all. It's why anything that comes out now is so good damn bland.

No wonder, American puritanism is at a record high.

Nah if you want to watch porn you can just watch porn.

Access to adult content is never been easier so we don't need half-assed versions in our film.

also, there's some selection bias as the "top X grossing films" has included more and more childrens films over time as adult consumption of all content has moved out of the theatre and to the internet.

No, it's not. Has everything to do with sex scenes not adding anything of value to a film.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Might have something to do with movies catering more heavily to "Family" audiences (the functional death of the R-rate film in theaters) while TV shows cater more heavily to childless adults.

We've literally coined the term "sexpository" to justify injecting gratuitous naked time into our 8-12 hour prestige TV shows. We've also made these sex scenes a lot gayer, which rubs the Family Friendly crowd the wrong way but plays great with the 20-30 somethings who are all on board with it.

I think this is it. Most movies are trying to avoid an R rating and slide into PG-13, because PG-13 movies generally make a lot more money than R-rated ones because the audience is greater.
