One of the things that has been bothering me for a while is Hollywood’s obsession with throwing sex scenes into every movie. It bothers me because this makes them unwatchable with my children.

Two examples: Queen’s Gambit an Battlestar Galactica (the one with James Olmos). Both wonderful stories. The sex scenes are utterly unnecessary. There’s even an oral sex scene in one of Galactica’s episodes.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Also, for all their purported values they sure have no problem at all exploiting women in such ways.

This isn’t about being a prude at all. I am not. The sex and objectification of women in movies adds nothing valuable to the story and is a net negative for society. If you don’t agree, just wait until you have a daughter to view the world they are exposed to with a different perspective.
