A poll, conducted by UCLA found that Americans between the ages of 12-24 want to see less sex on screen at movie theaters, in streaming content, and on TV shows.

51% polled said they would like to see less sex, while 48% said, "sex isn't needed" for most movies and TV shows. 44% felt sex and romance were overused, with most saying they would never go on an on-line date. Even more revealing was that 56% preferred to watch original stories vs. adaptions, remakes, and sequels.
Other finding from the study:
- Racial stereotypes were intensely disliked.
- Surprise, GenZ'ers believe social media is "authentic" with TikTok considered the most authentic platform. Even though TikTok delivered more disinformation than any other platform.
- Favorite stories were those "where people beat the odds" and "people with lives like their own".
According to Psychology Today, GenZ'ers are having much less sex than prior generations and with fewer partners. It's a good and bad situation. Gratuitous sex is probably not necessary to the plot of many films and TV shows. To my mind, if the sexual content is relevant to the story being told than find, if not, then it should be excluded. How graphic the sex scenes are is to the film maker and again does it fit the narrative.
