Regarding media...

Does anyone else here squirm when things start to heat up in a movie or series that they're watching? I was re-watching The Avengers the other day and realized that one of the reasons that I enjoy that movie so much is that there are no explicit romantic scenes. Oh, true, there are references to it, but nothing in-your-face, thus making the movie

Yes, I get very uncomfortable. I avoid films with sex scenes as much as possible...I'd much rather go see a U rated film any day of the week!

I particularly hate movies where the character 'just can't help themself' because the sex is so good, even though the partner is a douche. I always have a sense of disbelief though, because I can't personally fathom being so 'into' someone that you could tolerate them being a jerk. I've seen it a bit lately in a few american sitcoms.

absolutely the same. I hate rom-coms with a passion and I hate when a supposed action movie or thriller suddenly has a sex scene or a romance thrown into the mix. I recently watched Prince of Persia and there was a scene at the end when the cave was collapsing, they both just survived the attack of an assassin with his cobra and suddenly they stop for a few minutes to stare into each other's eyes, slow music is playing and they're kissing endlessly while the villain runs towards his goal??! Like what the fuck even, how is that in any way okay and understandable. Does nobody get how absolutely weird and out of character that is? "Hey, the villain is 5 feet away from destroying the world, but let's take a break to kiss." I just don't understand it

I don't get uncomfortable per se, just bored.

It completely ruined Rome for me. There might have been great writing in there somewhere, but I was too bored by the sex to wait around for it. If the sex somehow progresses plot or character development I don't mind so much.

Yes and no.
I get annoyed when I see the Love=sex in movies, tv or books. I don't like hearing about that because even before I knew what asexuality was, I always thought that sex was 'meh' and didn't understand why people would say that the "spark" in their sex lives disappeared that's why the relationship was over. I've never believed in the love=sex thing, so I don't like seeing that in movies/tv shows or reading about it.

On the other hand,I really enjoy smut, even though after a while I do get bored by it, too.
