I grew up thinking there was something wrong and "immature" about me not being comfortable with sex scenes in movies. I am still uncomfortable with it as an old person. I'm bitter that it took me so long to learn that there is nothing wrong with me not wanting softcore porn to pop up randomly in my movies, especially when in the company of other people!

Exactly!! I remember when Game of Thrones first came out, I was genuinely so surprised to see so many people I know praising it despite all its blatant misogyny.

Voyeuristically watching actors fake moan and pretend to have sex is literally so unappealing. And I always feel so bad for the actresses since they are shown in such a sleazy and male gazey way. Like please I don't wanna watch that.

I think I'm just realizing this now in my life. I thought when I left Christianity i had to be the total opposite...basically how i became a "cool girl" by embracing sex and sexuality in everything and thinking that only a prude would avoid sex scenes and the like. I thought that i just felt uncomfortable with it because of my Christian conservative upbringing. Now I'm realizing the uncomfortable feelings weren't that but just a normal reaction to the oversexualization of media.

100%. I don’t mind intimate scenes where sex is implied as happening before or after the scene (when relevant for the plot), but I don’t want to see any of it. It isn’t necessary.

The one exception for me was Harlots, because I swear it’s like they wanted to make men look and feel pathetic with the sex scenes.
