i definitely understand the narrative when it comes to young people’s views on sex in popular culture, where gen z people polled were extremely sex negative. They didn’t want any sex in movies whatsoever, they didn’t want any sex in TV or music whatsoever. There are in practice more sex negative than the Hays code, rivaling Victorian era purity policing and moral panics.
I think this has to do with them being raised on internet porn, and thus conflating degrading/exploitative porn and sex. Porn has poisoned all of sexuality and made it all bad, hence why it needs to be removed from the “good” part of their lives (the public superego facing portion that consumes and discusses media). They don’t want to be reminded of their “sinful” life fapping while out and about because when you aren’t in the mood for it that hardcore degrading stuff is unsettling. Hard to blame the generation for disliking sex when what “sex” has become in 2024 is pornhub front page incest/fetishist shit.
