I want more sex in tv and movies and less violence. There is hardly any sex and eroticism now in tv and movies (or at least the ones I see). My girlfriend and I talk about this all the time. Nudity is even rare at the box office. If you watch movies from the 1980s or so it is so apparent. I'm not Gen Z though. I'm Gen X.

Normalization of violence has been on-going for 50 years in movies and TV. See someone's head get blown off? PG-13. See some boobs? R. See full frontal on a woman? NC-17. See full frontal on a man? X.

  “X” and “NC-17” were never ratings at the same time (“NC-17” replaced “X” in what I believe was largely an attempt to make serious films with the rating marketable, given the way “X-rated” had become a popular term for porn.) (And, yes, plenty of the films released with an NC-17 MPAA rating and not through porn channels with no MPAA rating have full frontal male nudity.)

This is objectively the opposite of the truth. There is way more soft core porn in the average tv show or movie than was even allowed in the 80s

  There's a lot more than was allowed on broadcast TV in the 1980s, and while cable (including premium cable) with different rules existed, it was a much smaller market. Definitely not less than was allowed in movies in the 1980s; especially on a same-rating basis, where the standards have generally gotten narrower, not looser.

Same… the violence in modern tv is really off putting and usually contributes nothing to the plot

I agree, TV has gotten more porny but compared to the 70s and 80s movies got much more tame in terms of nudity.
