I'd like to see the chart go back a lot further tbh

Should it say mainstream movies since they only compare the top250?

The movie that made me want to avoid all sex scenes in movies was Watchmen. Between the completely unnecessary scene and the song that played but just tainted the whole movie.

Except for the music, the scenes were pretty much straight from the book:

like licking a flashlight battery

it wasn't the lighter

Funny how the peak of sex in movies was right around the time Tommy Wiseau blessed the world with 3 sex scenes the first 30 minutes of one movie.

That man has a glorious ass and anyone who got turned off to sex in movies because of it deserves shame

Gotta maximize the target market on everything to get the most clicks and all. It's why anything that comes out now is so good damn bland.

This person clearly hasn't found out about pornhub yet

Seems to match when more people had better access to smartphones and watching videos not just in the privacy of their home. Could be a lot of people aren't watching movies with sex as often because you don't want to be on a bus/plane where others can see your screen and suddenly it's a sex scene. (Amongst other reasons)

I just find it hard to believe that more films have drugs than profanity.

I noticed this as well. I don't really care either way, just that it was noticeable. The other part I noticed is that if there is nudity, I feel like it's a way higher percentage that it's a male. I'm not going to lie if I had to choose I would rather see the other sex, but I understand we had way too long of a time with it being a one-way street.

I wonder if it’s linked to the decline in sex in real life due to young people staying inside more and playing video games instead of socializing. I swear I saw an article about that at some point on Lemmy (or maybe Reddit).
