Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds
Teens prefer movies and shows about friendship and don't feel that entertainment needs so much sex, according to a UCLA report.
At a time when films like “ Babygirl,” “Poor Things” and “Fair Play” and series such as “ Disclaimer ” and “Tell Me Lies” are more explicitly sexual, younger audiences are hoping that more Hollywood stars stay clothed on screen and that the entertainment industry focuses on characters who are in platonic relationships. “Our findings really seemed to solidify a trend we found emerging in our data last year: that young people are tired of seeing the same dated and unrelatable romantic tropes on screen,” said Alisha J. Hines, director of research at the center. And when it came to their favorite types of entertainment, 39.2% of teens opted for playing video games, compared to 33.3% who chose watching TV or movies and 27.5% who picked scrolling on social media platforms.
