that is not what I meant to imply but I understand how it came across that way, it wasn't the most well-articulated comment. I want to clarify that I'm not saying it's a good thing that our culture is becoming more porno-brained & I'm not personally against sex scenes in media.
most porn isn't a good representation of sex but neither is most of what we see in movies/TV, where sex is so often used for little reason other than to scintillate the audience, i.e. its just porn-lite. hollywood depictions of conventionally attractive people having heterosexual intercourse was perhaps always boring, but it's especially boring to younger generations who grew up in a more overtly sexualized culture with easy access to pornography.
And I wasn't only talking about hardcore porn by the way, today there is such a wide variety of content appealing to people's diverse sexual interests, many of which have never been depicted in more conventional media.
I'm all in favor of more honest and realistic portrayals of sex in media that serve a thematic purpose, or are at least interesting.
