Agreed. A bit younger but I feel this way too. I group up incredibly religious/politically conserative (think Jesus Camp on Netflix).
Between my immediate family and changes in how the general population has begun to view excessive sex/cursing/violence/etc. I’ve never really experienced a current era of, well, excessiveness.
I love 70s movies for that reason. Utterly unrestrained. It’s not inherently better or worse. But I’ve never experienced a less-prude era while alive.
To be clear. I don’t think wanting less sex is inherently prude though. Sometimes it’s a cheap way to “improve” writing without actually paying for talent.
- pdntspa 3y agoI would like to see it portrayed more accurately and realistically. But I despair more because I see these attitudes carrying over into everyday people and their sensibilities. Prudishness in entertainment creates more prudishness in the people, who want more prudishness in entertainment, and so on, until the situation becomes so unbearable that an increasing number of people rebel and the trend starts to reverse. I am NOT saying that R-rated movies should be more pornographic or more like pornography. I agree that sex can be a cheap filler for more substantial writing. But humans can be very sexual creatures and the double standard we impose on ourselves in the name of traditional, "family" values, needs to die. I mean how the fuck did these families get made in the first place? It certainly wasn't from some stork. This is especially true given declining birth rates across the first world...
