I've always wondered if others really wanted the sex scenes that are shoved into way too many things. Others meaning young adult to middle aged men like myself. Clearly my very religious grandma does not want them. It's never been of any value to me to see some boobs or buttcheeks in a show I'm trying to watch for a story. I mean if you want that stuff, it's available by itself.
I always find it very awkward when shows have 30+ second sex scenes. It seems like it's trying to portray the relationship the characters have, but it just leads to me feeling like I'm having an uncomfortable portrait into the character's life. Also uncomfortable to watch with other people, am I supposed to be getting turned on in front of my parents? What is my brother thinking? etc. The information about a character's relationship can be delivered without bordering on pornography. And no, nudity isn't required for this issue, showing people aggressively making out displayed in an erotic fashion also seems too much.
