Being stuck in the middle ground between sex positive and sex repulsed is hard; I& #39;m an ace person who& #39;s sex positive but I do think there& #39;s a point where sex making ppl uncomfortable is a valid criticism and NOT just from puritans.
The kind of sex that& #39;s most often presented in mainstream media is hetero or women just being sexy and easily turned on. This can inadvertently alienate people who don& #39;t feel this way and make them feel like this is how they& #39;re "supposed" to perform. You might not feel this-
-if you happen to be part of the audience that sort of thing caters to. But for a lot of us that just doesn& #39;t resonate with how WE express our sexuality and it can be extremely disorienting and borderline stressful. So when ppl talk about not wanting sex in the new LOTR series-
-please think about people like us before you cry "pearl clutchers" when our sexuality is literally never represented because it& #39;s not sexy enough for the audience. It& #39;s OK to say that sex CAN be gratuitous and it doesn& #39;t add anything to the plot. If you want to see it, great-
-but you& #39;re not everyone and especially not sex repulsed or sex averse people who don& #39;t like mixing porn with casual watching. I hope that makes sense and sorry for rambling

And explicit fanfic/fanart is different, because it& #39;s a distinct separation. You know what you& #39;re getting into (and if it happens to stray onto your TL you always have the option of muting/blocking) but with a movie/TV show you& #39;re kind of stuck enduring it when you didn& #39;t expect-
-OR want it, and that& #39;s the thing that tends to bother ME the most.
Yes I& #39;m a person who filters by E rating only on Ao3 but that doesn& #39;t mean I want the same thing when I& #39;m watching Netflix with my bf; I like very specific kinds of porn and I like reading it in private, watching 2 hot actors go at it on screen with company is just weird to me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">
Oh and one last thing, it& #39;s not me being uncomfortable with other ppl expressing their sexuality it& #39;s me legitimately feeling stressed out by being subjected to the expression of sexuality I& #39;m constantly told I& #39;m supposed to be like bc it& #39;s not normal to not want to fuck ppl
