Title: No sex, please, I may just be getting old
Post by: Nearly Sane on December 27, 2023, 11:57:32 AM
Of late, I find myself viewing sex scenes in drama, even relatively minor ones, and asking 'Is that really necessary?' And most of the time, the answer seems to me, no. Am I just getting old?

Yes, you are, but I don't think you need to be in or approaching your dotage to find unnecessary sex distasteful. I remember back in the late 70s, when I were nobbut a lad, finding the sexual sub-plot in the BBC WW2 drama series 'Danger UXB' annoyingly irrelevant, and I was no prude.

More importantly Danger UXB was ITV.

You shouldn’t have been surprised as it was all in the title “Danger Unexposed Buttocks”
