    Is the spike in the early 2000’s from the cinematic masterpiece The Room? Three sex scenes in the span of like 15 minutes, ooh la la.

    Seriously though, as much of a horndog I can be, I like the decline of random sex scenes in movies. Very rarely added anything to the story for me. I’m not a fan of violence, but fortunately it’s not too hard to avoid.

      Yeah, my bet is that sex used to be this thing you rarely see, so seeing it in a movie was this interesting event. Now we have access to more porn than you could possibly ever consume at your fingertips. Sex in movies used to sell a movie. Now I don’t think anyone really cares.

      Some people are seeing this and assuming sex has become more divisive so they stopped showing it. I’m almost certain it’s the opposite. No one cares anymore.
