I quite enjoy movie and show sex scenes / nudity - they're more special than porn and can easily be more artistic than pornography.

There is actually a very high upper limit on how much sex can fit into a show, IF it is a "meaningful" sex scene and adds to the plot... you could theoretically have 50% sex scenes if it was a show about sex or a very sex centred episode. But that would be a bit like watching porn, which is just one reason why movies tend to cut away or interrupt the nsfw action. (Anothee reaskn is that they can't be bothered to film it all, because it's not actual sex.)

Case study: I actually tried to watch a show largrly about sex. "The Girlfriend Experience." All of the storytelling and excitement of this series goes into the sex scenes, which they honestly should have had more of, given that it is a show about sex.

The rest of the show was incredibly flst and boring - LITERALLY just people conversing with one another in a sterile corporate high rise.

old-ish movies: If you watch movies from the 70s and 80s you'll notice a ridiculous adherence to having as many female stars or background characters showing their breasts as possible. It reminds me of how people (e.g asmongold) get about video game character design - they think the lack of smutty stuff is a personal attack.

I'm not sure what to think of this gratuitous nudity, because i do of course like it, but it's very tacky and obvious. Doesn't waste as much time as unnecessary sex scenes, i suppose.
